When you’re investing in blinds, shutters, or awnings for your home, you want more than a product that looks good — you want reassurance that it’s been made, measured, and installed to the highest standards. That’s where choosing a BBSA member, like Lakeside Blinds, makes all the difference.

What is the BBSA?

The British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) is the UK’s only trade association dedicated to window blinds, shutters, and awnings. Every member agrees to follow a strict Code of Practice, ensuring honesty, professionalism, and safety at every stage — from design and manufacture through to installation and aftercare.

Being part of the BBSA isn’t just a badge — it’s a commitment. Members must meet ongoing standards, follow child safety legislation, and provide clear customer service policies. It’s your guarantee of peace of mind.

Quality and Safety You Can Trust

When you buy from a BBSA member, you know your blinds and shutters will be:

Made to measure: every detail tailored for the perfect fit.

Compliant with UK safety laws: including child-safe operating systems.

Installed by trained professionals: who understand the best solutions for your home.

Backed by accountability: with the BBSA there to support customers and uphold standards.

At Lakeside Blinds, we’re proud to be part of this network of trusted specialists. It means our customers across Gloucestershire and nearby areas know they’re dealing with a reputable local business that values long-term service and safety as much as style.

Supporting Local, Staying Professional

Choosing a BBSA member also supports local craftsmanship. Many members, like us, are independent, family-run companies that combine personal service with the professionalism of a national association. So, while you’re keeping your business local, you’re also guaranteed consistent quality and product knowledge that meets national standards.

Peace of Mind from Start to Finish

From your first design consultation to your final fitting, buying from a BBSA member gives you confidence in what’s being installed in your home. With accredited workmanship, clear warranties, and expert aftercare, your investment in shading is built to last.

In short: Buying from a BBSA member like Lakeside Blinds means choosing safety, trust, and lasting value — delivered by local professionals who care about your home.
