I’ve used John’s Blinds and Curtains on three separate occasions now, and they truly never disappoint. Every member of the team is consistently polite, friendly, and professional. The communication from the office team is fantastic, and the sales and fitting staff are punctual, tidy, and clearly take great pride in their work. It’s rare to find such a high level of consistency, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free experience. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.

We could not be happier Johns Blinds provided a first class service from start to finish and a special mention to the fitters who were very professional, polite and answered any queries we had. We would highly recommend using Johns Blinds.

I've lost count of how many shutters we've had fitted by John's Blinds, but the quality and service remain top-notch every time! Recently, Matt measured up and Steve fitted shutters in our dressing room and bathroom, and as usual, they are both a credit to the company - friendly, professional, and clearly knows their stuff.

The shutters look amazing, and I love how they transform the spaces. The best part is, I don't even bother shopping around anymore because I know I'm in good hands with John's Blinds. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality shutters and exceptional customer service, look no further!
Michael Hepting
We are so happy with our shutters from John’s Blinds. It has been an enjoyable and easy experience from start to finish. Steve and James have done an amazing job fitting the shutters and were both very professional with great attention to detail and a pleasure to have in our house. We would fully recommend John’s Blinds. Thanks Mike and Debbie.
Jim Lee
I booked an appointment with this form to come and measure up my blinds when they got to site they told me they do not work for travellers or gypsies as they said I will not pay them. I offered to pay a deposit still refuse my services saying they wanted full money upfront and then send an email telling complete lies as they could not do the work on my house has been very disrespectful saying we were not normal people we would scam them

Designed Around Your Home

Every home is different, which is why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages or scripted sales appointments.

At John’s Blinds, we design made-to-measure Blinds, Curtains and Plantation Shutters around your windows, your lifestyle and how each room needs to function.

From privacy and light control to insulation and visual impact, every detail is considered carefully – not rushed.

If you’re comparing companies in Essex, the real difference isn’t just price. It’s the approach.

We take the time to explain your options clearly, answer your questions honestly and help you choose a solution that suits your home – not what’s quickest to sell.

The result is window furnishings that look right, fit properly and continue to perform beautifully for years to come.

Still independently owned and operated from our Wickford showroom.
