Our latest awning install really made us think outside the box! 🤯

Our customers wanted an awning to shade their extremely hot patio. As their home is a lodge and made from mainly timber, structurally it couldn't hold the weight and pull out forces of an awning.

As we never shy away from a challenge we decided to lift the customers decking and install custom made brackets into a prepared concrete pad. To make things that little more complicated, the bricks the lodge is bedded on carry on past the home. Meaning our bracket had to also project forward to sit on the bed of the bricks before it could be secured into the ground also missing a waste pipe.

Now the decking is back on and its impossible to even tell all that has gone on underneath! The area looks great and is all ready for the hot summer days just around the corner 🌞🌞.

We’re quickly approaching global shading day on March 21st.

Today we’re focusing on light and glare that can affect us at home or in the office.

Adjustable shading helps create comfortable indoor environments - especially when you consider we spend 90% of our time indoors.

Whether working from home or watching the TV, glare and excessive light can cause eye strain and headaches.

Blinds, shutters and awnings can help control light levels, and automated shading makes it even easier by adjusting automatically. 🙌

Call us on 01473 411779 to arrange an appointment.

Happy 13th Anniversary to us!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Today marks our 13th anniversary. Where has that time gone!!

The second picture is little throwback to 2012 when we had just started out. Fresh faced with terrible dress sense but enthusiastic to begin our journey! 😂

What a journey it’s been…..

Ballantines was started very quickly after we were made redundant from our previous jobs. Our first year was filled chasing any job, however small & travelling in and out of London fitting for other companies. We pulled in favours from our friends and families, borrowed cars to get around and took up countless hours of friends spare time while they taught us book keeping!

Our first big job, repairing vertical blinds in an Essex office over a weekend finally allowed us to put a deposit down on our 1st van.
It’s this little beauty in the photo. This is the day we picked her up and we were so proud! ☺️☺️ She is our spare van now but is still going strong! ❤️

Luckily our reputation grew quickly, allowing us to leave the fitting for others behind and focus on purely our customers.

That seems a lifetime ago now but is always nice to take stock and remember how much has changed thanks to the support of our amazing customers, friends, family. THANK YOU! 🫶🏻
