Williams August 9, 2025Completely happy customers
Just taken my blinds down for their annual clean - installed 2023. They looked quite dirty as we have plenty of flies here. However, after a wash and a return to their hooks they are as good as new. Great company, excellent product. Happy me.
Sue Ha. June 1, 2025This is a very professional company
This is a very professional company. I wanted some blinds that were not the usual fit and shape to most blinds. After speaking to the team at ShadePlus they were able to very quickly understand what I was looking for and the sample material and graphic design arrived soon after. The most complicated bit for me was to measure the conservatory and send over the dimensions (which was not very hard at all). All in all a 5 star company
Campbell Russell August 24, 2024Ten stars for the product and service
Great product and excellent customer service. We wanted to give our small conservatory a bit of wow and reduce the heat. This company produced something that did both! Starting at the end, the sails are fabulous. High quality and easy to fit using the clear instructions from InShade, they really add something extra to the room. They reduce glare and heat as promised, but it is the aesthetic that others notice. Back to the beginning, the company have customer service that sets the standard. Literally nothing was too much trouble. All the contacts were friendly and helpful, but special mention of Cat and Matt. The process involved an on line session with Cat which was fun. She was very skilled and imaginative and made excellent suggestions to help us achieve the look we wanted. The next day Matt sent us a video impression of how it would all look. Matt was our main contact and was astonishingly quick in responding to e-mails and calls. Quite simply, this company stands out for customer experience - and the product is brilliant. 10 star!
Margaret August 22, 2024Conservatory Sail Blinds
Received excellent customer service from this company. Very helpful, courteous & knowledgeable about their product. We purchased our conservatory blinds which duly arrived and with their advice were easy to install, we are very pleased with them and would recommend InShade Sale Blinds without reservation.

Excellent service right from the first contact with InShade. Fabrics swatches sent and designs discussed, as i live in Cornwall i am rather a long way away from them….. Luckily my partner is great at DIY (and likes a project) so decided to get measuring instructions from InShade and proceed on that basis. The sails were delivered on an agreed date and we fitted them to replace the old pleated roof blinds. I can only say they look awesome…. And InShade were only a call away if we had questions. And self fitting definitely possible. Brilliant service, fantastic product. Very very happy with everything.
JANE RICHARDS May 24, 2024What a pleasure to work with Inshade
What a pleasure to work with Inshade. From the first enquiry through to the fitting it was a wonderful experience. We had lots of guidance with taking the initial measurements. We then received a video showing us the proposed design in 3d which was excellent. Then the online design consultation to discuss the initial design was really helpful. Everyone we dealt with was excellent. Matt who came to take the final measurements and then fit them went above and beyond. We chose the fitting service which we felt was very reasonable as he had a long journey to get to us. We’re thrilled with the sails, they look amazing. Thank you to everyone involved. An extremely professional company and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you.
marianna ponzo April 13, 2024Custom made sails for Edwardian conservatory
We contacted inShade to get custom made sails for our conservatory, we had been looking for a solution to reduce glare and heat in the space since moving into the property a couple of years prior. The team at in Shade was great in explaining the tecnical specifications of the products, they helped custom made the shape of the sails and solve installing issues with the box gutter. We were able to measure and even fit the sails ourselves thanks to their expert advice. Our sails fit the decor of the space and are a great addition to our conservatory. They do the job well and are also pretty stylish. Great expertise and great customer service experience.
Donatella September 20, 2023Quality service. I'm both happy and impressed.
I came upon InShade during a web search. I've never had a conservatory and so was unsure what my needs were. All I knew was that I didn't want my plants to fry in an all-glass conservatory. I contacted InShade and spent quite some time discussing my concerns. I was instantly impressed with the clear and honest recommendations I received. The service is second to none, the price is very reasonable and the virtual design team who helped me visualise what the sail might look like in my conservatory was just wonderful. I love my sail. It looks lovely, is a quality product and is exactly as described by the InShade team. Sails look so much nicer than concertina, remote-control blinds. And you can clean them more easily.

RA July 17, 2023Excellent Product & Service
You could not wish for a better product and service. The whole process was easy from start to finish and all the staff are really helpful and make the whole process enjoyable. The sails were easy to fit and while getting the measurements was interesting due to the height. InShade were on hand to offer advice and were even happy to send us a Infra Red tape measure. Now the sails are up they look brilliant and the quality of the sails is great. Can fully recommend the sails as retro fit solution to providing shade and to reducing the temperature in a room.
Denise Nicholls July 17, 2023Amazing service
Amazing service, I am a manager of a children's service and we use our conservatory as an education area. However, we were finding we were unable to use the area to full capacity due to the sunlight and heat. Matt was brilliant, he was able to provide a material and a design that would suit. We were supported throughout the process and the results are fantastic. I would highly recommend this service.
Louise Newman April 11, 2023Rooflight sail blind
Even though my project was only a tiny one, a single sail blind for a roof light, the In-Shade team were brilliant at helping me to look at options and develop the right design. The measuring instructions were really clear. The final sail was very easy to install ourselves, it fits perfectly, it looks great and works well to shade and stop glare.
Nicolas April 3, 2023From the first email through to the…
From the first email through to the last telephone call to triple check measurements, the team have been fantastic. the sails are of great quality, very easy to install, and the process has been very smooth. Would highly recommend them.
DW January 18, 2023A great product and extremely helpful staff.
A great product and very helpful staff. Measurements and fitting carried out by myself, excellent instructions and guidance provided by InShade. The finished blinds fit well and look wonderful. Extremely pleased!
Ms Kate November 18, 2021Just had our sails fitted today they…
Just had our sails fitted today they look amazing we have a south facing large conservatory and didn’t like the look of roof blinds as they remind us of a granny conservatory - these are stunning we can’t try out the heat yet but we are hoping they will help in the summer and they do help with the glare . Service was fantastic from start to finish as we were worried about taking our own measurements as these are custom , yes they are expensive but totally worth it and we ended up getting out handyman to fit them as my husband and I didn’t have time which was really cheap rather than using a recommended InShade contractor 😃
Sally S October 31, 2021Excellent product and excellent service.
Purchased sails to reduce the glare in our south-facing conservatory. We are very happy with the sails, they look great, wash beautifully, and even help with the heat, which we did not expect with our aged polycarbonate roof. They are definitely worth paying a little more for. The whole team are just brilliant, very helpful, instructions are clear but they are happy to help if needed. Highly recommended.
Kathryn October 28, 2021Really great product
Really great product. The whole process from design to installation was quick, simple and has made the world of difference to how we use our conservatory. Very happy!
Nigel Catlow October 27, 2021First class help and advice by the…
First class help and advice by the InShade team throughout the process. The sails are now installed and look fantastic, perform as described in reducing glare and heat. Lots of compliments from club members and no complaints which is a rarity for any change we make at the club! The cost was a big concern for us and it's hard to tell from the samples how good the final outcome will be. We needn't have worried, the sails are great.
Phil October 27, 2021Great quality sails
Great quality sails. Really please with them. Super communication from the company too.
Mr Gibson October 27, 2021All done by phone due to covid
All done by phone due to covid but very professionally done and all the measuring and fitting instructions were clear and concise. The blinds themselves are excellent and have made a big difference to the conservatory.
Mel October 25, 2021Fantastic service & end product
Fantastic service, from design through to measuring and fitting. Matt was brilliant, spent time going through design options on their virtual online software, transparent on pricing, and also very helpful to ensure the customer measures accurately, if that option is desired. Final product met with expectations, fits perfectly and is high quality. Shades have retained their colour throughout the summer season and look great. Highly recommended

Margot and Andrew August 18, 2021Succesful Sail blind installations
We had good guidance with regard to measuring and found the online meeting very helpful. They fitted perfectly and look great. Thank you for your help and support. We are really delighted with the result and wish we had done this years ago
customer July 27, 2021Our sail blinds have made such a difference
Thank you for an absolutely superb service, it’s such a refreshing change to have such attentive people who just want to do everything they can to make the experience of a purchase from your company, perfect. We are delighted with our sail blinds, they have made such a difference to our garden room - thank you all once again. We have already recommended your company to a friend whose daughter wants sail blinds for her conservatory!
Dave June 5, 2021Excellent product
Excellent product, does what it says on the tin in terms of heat and glare reduction. Feels quite cool and relaxed under the glass and looks good. South facing conservatory. Easy to fix, really helpful staff. Would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Dave P.
Linda Clark May 17, 2021Perfect sails
We have just fitted our new shade sails, and they look great with still.lots of light coming in which is what we wanted. The whole process has been fantastic, the instructions for measuring were easy to follow and all the team members that we spoke to by phone and email were professional and very helpful. Our sails only took a couple of weeks to make and we fitted them ourselves, again a very easy process. We would highly recommend Inshade and are looking forward to spending a more comfortable time in our conservatory this summer. An added bonus ...we had heavy rain today and the sails definitely reduced the noise on the roof.
Rob February 1, 2021We were guided through the design and…
We were guided through the design and choices options in a friendly and informative online video session. Easy instructions for measuring up then, decisions made, a short wait for the shade blind. The shade was nicely finished and just as portrayed in the design process. Easy fitting instructions, good quality fittings and a good outcome. The shade worked well on summer days when the sun room would have otherwise been too hot for comfort and looks good too. Our sun room plants appreciate the shade too and no longer frazzle brown on hot days.
Laurie Baker February 1, 2021Great Product and Service
Product was purchased to counter excessive heat build up in our conservatory. From the initial contact by telephone to final self installation, the process was simple and efficient. Dylan our contact was knowledgeable and professional. The product is expensive but has transformed our conservatory during the hot days of summer. I have no hesitation in recommending InShade.
david simpson August 9, 2020Too good to be true?...NOT THIS TIME!!
So you know when you read reviews of a product and they are all ‘amazing’ and there’s a little voice going ‘yeh yeh yeh’...well it turns out that sometimes the reviews are right!!....and thankfully this is the case with In Shade Sails!.. The sails are beautiful (exceeding expectations even)...huge sigh of relief!..it is a large important purchase and you really want to get it right... The team are very easy and even fun to work with...no strong sales patter just simple choices and common sense planning...and excellent communication... Our south facing conservatory is blisteringly hot and glary, or should I say , WAS!....the difference is amazing and beautiful too... I did mention to Matt about it being a crematorium for flying insects.....and believe it or not that seems less too...not because they are trapped on the sails...a quick flick of the sails ...or unhook soon sorts that out...(I could do a review for our new cordless Dyson that complements the sails and dead beasties very well😂😂)...ok not here.... Everyone loves them and I have a funny feeling sales may be going up from seeing them...so pleased with our purchase and the whole process..even the price was very reasonable and didn’t cause a heart attack...
Fiona Reid August 4, 2020These sail blinds have transformed our space
We had our sail blinds fitted in spring 2019 and these sails have far exceeded our expectations. Our 'conservatory' isn't traditional - it's the dining space that links our kitchen and the internal sitting room, so we can't simply close it off when it gets hot. The first summer after the moved in, in 2018, the heat was unbearable. I'd no idea that a glass roof could create so much heat. Also, it was blindingly bright, and even in the winter, the light was very harsh - it's amazing how harsh white cloud is! These blinds have transformed all of that. The light is so much softer, and in sunshine there are shadow patterns all over the walls from the sails. it's really lovely. The dining room has gone for a barely used space - a space we really only used at night - to one we use year round. It's a lovely space to be in. And while the space is still very warm on a REALLY hot day, it's no longer unbearable (we had internal temperatures in the mid-30s BEFORE the sails - hotter than it was outside) while on warm and sunny days, the sails make it a really pleasant space to sit in. While we didn't consider the effect the sails would have in winter, again, this has changed the space with much softer light. Also, while I was initially concerned about how the sails would impact on the light coming into the internal sitting room, I'm really surprised by how little effect this has had. The design team worked carefully to make sure that we were blocking out light where we didn't want it without losing the light we really needed. We couldn't be happier with the result.
LH July 8, 2020Chuffed tae bits!
If you're looking to enhance the look of your conservatory, you cant go wrong with these beautiful sails. We originally had 3 fitted at the front of the conservatory, but decided to finish it off with an additional 2 large sails at the back. We can't praise Matt and his team enough. The whole design process was easy, even technophobes like us could do it and the finished result is fantastic. They cut out the glare from the sun, help maintain a manageable heat and look stunning; very ambient at night time. We would not hesitate in recommending the product and this company. It's been a pleasure from start to finish.
Tom Lloyd May 20, 2020Highly recommended
The team were excellent at all stages, a well thought out design and lots of support throughout the process. The price was certainly far less than the roller blind options I had been looking at and a much more striking effect I would say. Production and delivery was prompt and I'm very happy with the outcome. The measuring is important to get right, it took me some time and a few attempts, so it's worth taking care at this stage.
Graham May 11, 2020Shadeplus are good to do business with
Shadeplus are good to do business with. Excellent communication, and everything delivered as promised. These Inshade blinds are the second set we have bought from this company, and are a great product.
Katherine April 24, 2020Classy blinds.
I absolutely love the sail blinds in my conservatory. Every person I spoke to at InShade were helpful. I ordered these at the start of the lockdown so we could use our conservatory for schooling and work and they are so classy. InShade were fantastic and were at the beginning of working in the lockdown and I was impressed they could still manufacture these. The blinds were just what I wanted, a real feature in the room that enhances it rather than just blocking the conservatory roof.
Mr roy tromans April 24, 2020No negatives ,just a great service from great company
The team at shade plus deserve 5 stars without doubt, they were very helpful from start to finish with advice and information . The whole process was very well organised from original enquire ,through the measurements and the actual fitting of the sails,very impressive. If you can read a tape measure and drill the fixing holes plus screw the brackets on ,you can save a large amount off the price it would cost you from a normal blind outlet, at no cost to the quality, it’s a no brainer !. Many thanks to Matt and all the team. Brilliant service
Rob Cordery April 17, 2020Brilliant product and great service !!
Brilliant product and great service !!
Charlie 1960 April 11, 2020Great staff, great product
Great staff, great product. It was two weeks from initial contact to design, manufacture and supply sail blinds for my conservatory. I elected to fit them myself after discussing the product with Matt the designer. It couldn't have been easier assuming you can follow written instructions and have basic DIY skills. Thanks everyone at InShade especially as this all occurred during the Covid 19 lockdown; you make a fantastic team.
Elaine Lee January 14, 2020So good, I bought them twice!
I purchased 3 sails to shade one half of my conservatory about 3 years ago, and was so impressed with the quality and look, I ordered 3 more just over a year later. The team made the whole process of designing and measuring so simple and pleasurable and were extremely helpful at every stage. The sails have transformed my conservatory, as they look very stylish and elegant. They have removed the suns glare completely. Also, unlike a solid roof, I can remove them in winter to let more light in. The conservatory still does get hot, so don’t expect a miracle on that front, but the intensity of the heat is reduced and I can sit in there even on a hot summers day. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to review.
Heather Donald October 28, 2019Excellent team and product
Excellent team and product. Highly recommend.
Brian Breslin October 5, 2019Professional people and an aesthetically pleasing product.
Just had my new sails fitted and I must say I am so happy with them. The sails and fittings have a quality look that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The whole process from finding InShade on line, through the initial phone consultation with Matt, the on line design process with Jill to the measuring and fitting by Paul was an absolute pleasure. I am sure there are more thoroughly professional people like these working hard in the background to thank. I have no hesitation in recommending InShade Sails.
NICOLA HARRISON September 16, 2019What an easy purchase!
From start to finish an incredibly easy approach even though completely remote. I have never had such clear instructions from start to finish. We hung them ourselves which we didn't think we would do.
Martin Rizk September 2, 2019Excellent product, excellent customer services
We had been looking at various options to reduce heat and create shade in our London kitchen which has got a sizeable glass 'lean-to' extension. Changing the glass was going to be very expensive and installing blinds would have given the modern kitchen more of a corporate look that we did not want. We came across Shadeplus on-line. We loved the idea of sails to create a more interesting shading design. From my initial call, through the custom design process to the self installation, the whole process was about as good as you could imagine. The staff are excellent, clear communicators and the process very straight forward. We have now been through a hot summer making far better use of the kitchen. The sails look great and the whole family loves them. We would highly recommend the company.
Sue July 27, 2019Excellent performance from our InShade sail blinds
Extremely pleased with our shade sail blinds. Definitely makes a difference in hot sunny weather. We’re situated by the South coast and we’re able to use the conservatory again in the summer. Ours were fitted by Marla Blinds and the customer service from both them and InShade for the design consulting was excellent. Definitely recommend them.

I have 5 of these shades in my conservatory, they look good and do a great job. Unfortunately when I needed to replace one I could not get a price from them, they seem intent on trying to persuade me to replace the lot. These guys are stuck with out of date sales tactics, circa 1980's...time share, double glazing etc.

We have been very pleased and impressed with the quality of the product and the professional approach by InShade. Having researched similar products, InShade came out on top and it proved that we made the right choice. We fitted the sails ourselves having extensively measured our conservatory in accordance with InShade's instructions. The sails were produced from these measurements and fitted perfectly. We would not hesitate to recommend this company and product as they are 100% perfect. Michael & Linda Kimberley. Malvern, Worcestershire.

I am happy to recommend highly both the service and product.The personal service was excellent with great advice and input on a stunning design, tailored to what we wanted to achieve, followed by attention to detail in measuring and fitting. Everything was explained clearly throughout including costs.Our conservatory has been greatly enhanced in looks and function. The blinds achieve the shading we desired whilst still retaining an open and airy feel.The ease of cleaning is a tremendous advantage to previous close fitting wired blinds as well as no more trapped bumble bees!
Anna June 24, 2019Great service!
We were delighted with Shadeplus and InShade from the word go. Extremely friendly, helpful and practical advice on everything - and hugely patient with us too. The way the plan is drawn up for you is so clever too, and we loved the way you're talked through all the options so clearly. We put the sail up ourselves and are really pleased with it. It looks smart and helps keep our conservatory cooler. Happy customers all round!
Janet Rumbold June 19, 2019delighted with our purchase
From initial enquiry to finished item we were delighted with the customer service and quality of sail blinds. Professional, helpful and 5* service. Would certainly recommend
