“Product is good and fitted well. Unfortunately remotes stopped working and was told that cannot support product after expired warranty. People in customer service were less than useless. Absolute shambles to be told, no after marker support. My strongest suggest is DONT BUY THOMSON SANDERSON. I wish I had read these reviews before I paid out +£5000.”

“I don't believe that Thomas Sanderson ever intended to deliver the shutters I ordered, it's an awkward shaped window and think they just wanted to take my money and hold it for as long as possible. Salesman took my 50% deposit in May and said we should be able to get them installed in September - couldn't seem to get a survey done (first guy told me he'd been fired), finally did and was then given a new installation date of November 1st. Call in August to say he'd retired but hope that won't delay anything. Then a call in September to tell me actually they haven't even ordered the shutters yet and can't understand the measurements from either of the first Thomas Sanderson employees who had come out and would need to arrange another survey and that would mean shutters wouldn't be installed until at least Feb the next year maybe later.......after waiting weeks for that survey to be arranged and hearing nothing I realise they really just don't want to provide me with shutters and cancel in early October. Thought that was the end of it - but just received another call and email to day 'unfortunately my installation won't be happening today but will soon" Worse customer service I've ever received, no one seems to know what anyone else is doing. I'd suggest avoiding at all costs.”

“Worst customer service, poor communication, threatening behaviour, Steer away. We have contacted Thomas Sanderson to have our blinds fitted. It was all going well. Mathew the designer came over showed all the different products and material available to us. Discussed the design and drafted all the plans. We were happy and gave the go ahead. Paid £4600.00 deposit. That’s half of what we have to pay and remainder after the installation. Waited 12 weeks for the blinds to be here. Finally the day for installation came and we were shocked to see the material was not what we ordered. Also we wanted louvres to separate the top window from the bottom that was not done either. When questioned the company they said that’s what we ordered. We disagreed as me and my wife we both clearly remember the material we wanted was different also we asked for the Louvre. We have asked them to put a stop to the installation as we were not happy. All the blinds then left in my garage for last 3 weeks. I need to garage my car and I can’t. Every time I had to make the call and response was we are listening to calls and investigating. No communication was made from them, I had to make calls to get an update every time. Finally I decided to chase up today Friday 24th September as I waited whole week and heard nothing back. Spoke to Michael supposed to be their account manager told me that I have signed vinyl shatters and that’s what I must have and if I don’t he threatened me by saying they will refer my account to debt collector and black list me. That really made us feel we are forced to have something fitted which we are not happy with as I do not want to lose my deposit. Only went with them thinking they are big company and will get best quality but they are far from that. I wish I read their reviews on iO before I paid my half deposit. I can guarantee I would never have gone with them. Seems like it’s all good if everything is sailing smoothly, soon as something changes they start threatening you rather than sorting. Worst customer service for a big company like that. Stay away from them as you are better off going with someone local and cheaper. What a waste of my hard earn money. Everyone out there save your money and spend is wisely.”

“Sanderson Blinds so called "Customer Service Department" confirm that after the warranty period expires they will no longer service their blinds nor will they give details of anyone who might. It would be helpful if their sales department were to make this policy clear to prospective customers.”

“The worst customer service and experience we have ever had from any company. Once upon a time there was a salesperson from Thomas Sanderson who mis-sold a very expensive dream...privacy and bespoke curtains blinds and shutters to be fitted and installed within 6 weeks. Six months down the line the nightmare before Christmas continues, lies, missed installations and 4 attempts to install and blinds not fit for purpose (measured by TS and too short for the windows, or with non existent chains, or just miraculous in their ability to disappear - clearly they’re behind me) and still we have only half a house with any window coverings! At least the nights are drawing in and it will be dark in the mornings and evenings soon! Utterly fed up with this company. Customer service never responds. We are cancelling our order and going to use a local business who values customers! Thomas Sanderson are a pantomime....amateurish at best - shoddy at worst. Do not waste your hard earned money on them.”

“Robert Fearn of TS should have been with us at 2pm 24 Aug 2021 to give us an estimate. Never showed up and no contact from him or TS to explain why. I will not be buying from TS.”

“LIES, DENIAL & THREATS! Please do not be fooled by your charming 'friendly' 'professional' salesperson. We requested roof blinds for our conservatory. The salesperson described how the blinds would be and showed us samples. However, after the fitter had installed the blinds THEY WERE NOT AS SOLD. THE FITTER EVEN ADMITTED THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM BEFORE AND EVEN THAT WEEK! Needless to say I approached Thomas Sanderson 'customer service' to be passed over weeks from pillar to post. Nobody seemed interested in listening to my problem (they have half your payment and are ONLY interested in securing the other 50%) After several calls and emails I finally received an email declaring that after a'thorough investigation' involving no phone call to me or explanation of what they had actually investigated, they are DEMANDING PAYMENT WITHIN 7 DAYS OR PASSING THE CASE ONTO A DEBT RECOVERY AGENCY WITHOUT ANY FURTHER CONTACT! I challenged this and that said 'THAT WAS THEIR STANCE!' So if you have a problem BEWARE. THIS IS THER 'CUSTOMER CARE' I am now taking this to the financial ombudsman and considering legal advice whilst the treat of debt collectors looms over my head. AWFUL AND UPSETTING.”

“Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Wrong curtails delivered, wonky seams. Delivered six months late. A fight to the bitter end. They admired order was wrong then took me to court have paid and still they send threatening letters as there was a £50 discrepancy that I had not been made aware of. It’s all about the money not about the service. Please be warned.”

“Possibly the worst experience I have ever had - if I could give any advice it would be if you value quality, customer service, delivery and honesty don’t go near Thomas Sanderson, in fact go anywhere else but here. Placed our order in April, blinds, curtains and shutters for the whole house. On the third attempt with two cancellations for fitting with no notice and no communication in advance a fitter finally arrived. None of the Roman blinds fitted that he measured actually fit the windows. He only fitted one of the three shutter sets we ordered and left one propped against the window. We complained to the brick wall that is customer services and finally after about 6 emails and calls in double figures got someone a manager out to look at everything- he said it was the worst job he had seen in 17 years. Had to remeasure every window and reordered. Told us we we would have a fitting date in September- we rang customer services to complain and confirm the date....guess what no one has come back to us. Have taken legal advice....proceeding pending. We feel totally defrauded. Lied to about a 5-6 week lead time. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we little people grouped together or got crowd funding to put an advert in the National newspapers to tell prospective customers what they are really like. Rather than spend so much on fancy marketing perhaps if Thomas Sanderson invested in their customer service, fitting and fitters, actually fulfilled orders and their contractual obligations - I might think differently. Never again and will find every opportunity to warn others never to pass across hard earned money to these charlatans!”

“Our TS story continues... After 8 months finally, the shutters get installed. Only to find out they are wrongly measured and good for nothing. You can take them to bin. Only 4 days after the installation, Customer Service finally makes contact with a shameful offer !! 1. Cancel the order OR 2. Temp paper blinds + £400 discount + Prospect of waiting for new shutters in the worst-case scenario: 4-5 months! What I really get is a hint - just cancel it. We don't really care!!”

“We placed shutters order back in Dec 2020. TS promised up to 3 months for delivery and installation. 7+ months later no action. I have been calling TS regularly chasing the case. Customer service promised to call back with solutions. Never had a call returned! Nobody takes ownership of the case. After such a long time I am only offered for the order to be cancelled and the deposit refunded without any compensation! I have spent hours on calls, being polite and patient only to be told conflicting messages like "we can't locate you shutters", "we have your shutters but can't get an engineer to come down" and then again "we can't locate you shutters". TS is using freelance installation engineers who can decline jobs. Very very poor service. If I could give ZEO stars I would. Thomas Sanderson has nothing to offer apart from polished marketing and diplomatic customer service who don't really care for resolving matters. From my experience, the CS team doesn't really take ownership of this case. The most I hear is they say they will "try"... Just remember, TS has no control over the (external) installation consultants and can’t influence them either. I have spent now hours calling TS - problem still unsolved. Just another promise made, so I am exploring legal actions.”

“Fortunately I didn't actually order my blinds from them as the consultation left me with no assurance of their capability. I assumed Thomas Sanderson were an incredibly high quality company and my neighbour had just had blinds fitted in her conservatory so recommended. The Sales Rep turned up in a scruffy pair of jeans and denim shirt which made me look twice at his card to make sure it was who I was expecting. He had only been with the company a month so was not sure they could do the blinds to fit, and had to rely on a WhatsApp group to ask. He then forgot his box of samples and rang me the next day to say he would collect them. Overall he was very polite but did not know his product and should not have been out on his own. All I then got from Sanderson's was a text asking me to reply to it if I was interested. Very very unprofessional. He never turned up for the samples so I am left with a boxful of them. If anyone has a doll's house they would like refurbished in Thomas Sanderson blinds then I have just the thing! Glad we went with a local family firm.”

“I wish I had read these reviews before I placed my order with Thomas Sanderson. My journey with them began in early April. It is now July and it is one disappointment after another. Extremely poor customer service. I've now had to go the legal route because I refuse to carry on chasing them to do what was agreed.”

“Very poor after sales paid nearly£14K for conservatory blinds due to design fault far too many bugs and flies get trapped inside pleated blind. At time of purchase we were promised full after sales service alas they totally unwilling to do anything about cleaning and servicing blinds. My advice is to steer well clear if this company. They have deteriorated over the years and don't seem to care either!”
