We were at a loss to know what to do when our old awning stopped working in the open position. Weather conditions were very windy, and we were concerned that the awning might cause damage to our property. We spoke to Pat at SBI who told us how to secure the awning. Because the old awning was very old, he gave us a quote for a new one. We were pleased with the quote and decided to go ahead. Within a couple of days Pat sent out a couple of his colleagues who were able to retract the old awning, which had no manual override, and make the whole thing completely secure. The new awning was available within the time frame suggested by Pat. It was then fitted by Michael and John who worked extremely hard on one of the hottest days of the year. We are delighted with the new awning and with the service provided throughout the process by all members of staff at SBI. Many thanks. We would not hesitate to recommend SBI. More...

I contacted s.b.i when I was let down by another supplier of a glass room. They had taken my money and not completed the job. David came back to me very promptly, he understood the problem and arranged for a surveyor to come to my property. Following the visit I was supplied with a quote for the cost, supply and installation of glass to rectify the problem. All of the team could not have been more helpful. In the end having fought with the previous supplier for 2 years they completed the project. Although I cannot comment on the end product via sbi I would highly recommend the company for their professionalism , competitive quote and customer service. More...

Dear Kathy, Thank you very much for your 5-star review. We’re pleased to hear that you were happy with the service you received from our sales team and installers. Your garage is part of an en-bloc row with no mains power available, so choosing a Harol Solar-Powered Garage Door Shutter was an excellent solution. It allows you to enjoy the convenience of a smooth, electric door operation without the need for wiring—replacing the heavy manual door with a far easier and more secure system. As a family-run business since 1998, we pride ourselves on offering the right products for each customer’s circumstances, and it’s wonderful to know you would recommend us. If you ever need any advice or support with your solar garage door, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards from the SBI Ltd Team.

We had our glass room installed recently and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The whole team did a wonderful job from start to finish. The workmanship is excellent and you can clearly see how skilful and experienced they are. The glass room looks absolutely fantastic and has transformed our space completely. Everything was completed neatly, professionally, and with great attention to detail. We’re extremely pleased with how it turned out and would happily recommend this company to anyone considering a glass room installation. More...

Ever since we started our business over 8 years ago, we have used SBI for all of our fabric awnings and they have been perfect every time. We have rebranded twice, with new colour schemes, and the whole creative process has been so smooth and enjoyable. When we opened a second site, they were able to get the awning made and fitted quickly in time for opening day. They are so helpful and send a range of fabric and colours for us to work with, helping us to make the right decision. The finished look is always very professional and it really is the finishing touch that elevates our site to make it what it is. The team are also very understanding with regards to small business needs - both practically and financially, and help us to organise installation to fit around our quiet times to ensure minimal problems for customers and staff. If there’s any issues (lost remote, for example!!) they send a new one immediately. I am sure we will continue to work with SBI for years to come and would encourage any other businesses to use them too! More...

Dear Marilyn, Thank you very much for your wonderful 5-star review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure to carry out the full safety inspection, service, and deep clean of your 20-year-old awning. Our specialist treatment — including mechanical servicing, framework cleaning, and chemical cleaning of the acrylic fabric using our dedicated awning-safe solution — is designed to revitalise and extend the life of quality installations just like yours. We are delighted to hear that your awning now looks “like new again.” This is exactly the outcome we aim for, and feedback like yours helps demonstrate the long-term value of maintaining high-quality awnings rather than replacing them unnecessarily. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. If you ever need further assistance with servicing, cleaning, or repairs, our team will be happy to help. Kind regards, The SBI Ltd (Sun Blinds Installations) Team

Pat Cunningham gave me complete confidence as soon as I spoke to him, and of the three organisations I contacted he was the only one that contacted mr within 24 hours. We organised a fitting date for when we got back from holiday. Gerard and Steve were with us the day after we got home at just after 9am and worked through until 4pm. The job they did was fantastic, they replaced the motor and the anemometer and fitted an infrared heater that I had bought to replace one that was no longer working. Our awning is 20 years plus old and having contacted several awning suppliers over the last five years they were only interested in selling us a new one. SBI Ltd are based in Croydon which is a hell of a long way from Manchester. Gerard and Steve drove up from Hertfordshire and they worked tirelessly to get the job done and tested everything before leaving. My neighbour thought we had a new canopy fitted. It has now completed an automatic opening and closing snd it now closes perfectly. I can fully recommend them and their company for an excellent job well done with no mess to clear up after they left. More...

Awning Repair & Maintenance

SBI did an absolutely fabulous job on restoring our awning. So much so that our neighbour thought that we had bought a new one. They replaced the motor and the anemometer which we did not think was not working. They left once they had checked that everything was working as it should. We tried all the local people that offer maintenance but all they really wanted was to supply a new one of their own. Our awning is 20 years old and no works and looks like new. More...
