- [Elizabeth Selwood, Taunton](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/elizabeth-selwood-taunton/): Absolutely delighted with our shutters! Really appreciated the attention to detail and professional advice from Duncan on the look and finish that would compliment our windows. Really happy with the service received.

- [Barry Vanstone, Torquay](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/barry-vanstone-torquay/): We had a little delay in receiving our new shutters, but it was worth the wait. The installation was beautifully done and added a new dimension to the room. Cannot fault the quality of both the materials and the workmanship. All ready for the summer! Many thanks Duncan and Jonathon.
- [Andy Troake, Somerset](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/andy-troake-somerset/): Compared to others that gave us a quote the shutters represent great value for money. The service from beginning to end could not be improved upon. Time was given to explain the options available to us and Duncan even returned for a further site visit to ensure we were happy with the option agreed. We have now had the shutters for a few months and have no issues. We even had a courtesy call to check that we were happy. We've just recommended them to some friends, not something I do lightly.
- [James Saunders, Somerset](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/james-saunders-somerset/): West Country Shutters were recommended to us as we wanted shutters for 2 floor to ceiling bay windows, 2 bedrooms and 1 small porch window.After looking at their website and reading the reviews, we contacted them for a site survey.
- [Chris Salvary, Devon](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/chris-salvary-devon/): We have been most impressed with West Country Shutters from start to finish. Duncan is lovely and spent so much time with us at the initial consultation to ensure that we picked the right shutters for our property (and even threw in some interior design colour tips which proved to be brilliant!). We had a longer than expected wait but it was so worth it!
- [Mr & Mrs Howell-Bewsey, Cornwall](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/mr-mrs-howell-bewsey-cornwall/): From the moment that Duncan stepped through the door we knew that West Country Shutters were the company for us!

- [Gary Roberts, Somerset](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/gary-roberts-somerset/): Despite getting 3 quotes for plantation shutters we knew we would be engaging West Country Shutters before they even advised what their costs would be. Duncan is extremely professional and personable, took plenty of time to explain our options and was very thorough with his presentation. On installation day, Duncan and his fitter, Steve were absolutely meticulous and we now have very beautiful shutters on our ground floor windows.The whole experience has been very pleasant and we would have no hesitation in recommending West Country Shutters and their product!
- [Tony & Jessica Anderson, Bristol](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/tony-jessica-anderson-bristol/): We contacted West Country Shutters to quote for work alongside two other companies.  From the moment we met Duncan, we were impressed by the attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm he showed for the work we required.  Duncan’s manner was in marked contrast to the generic, sales approach of the representatives dispatched by the competitors.
- [Steve & Helen Hogg, Bristol](https://westcountryshutters.co.uk/reviews/steve-helen-hogg-bristol/): We are SO pleased with our new shutters. There are plenty of good shutter companies out there, but we wanted great…not good. Duncan and Steve have done such a brilliant job. Duncan's design background and personal involvement throughout the entire process makes a huge difference to the end result. I'd recommend him to anyone considering plantation shutters. We are so happy, we've just asked him to come back to do our shop windows. Top quality, and a very fair price… thank you very much!.
