✨ A little reminder about how we work ✨

At Ashley Blinds, we work a little differently — and we think it makes life easier for everyone.

We work strictly by home appointment, bringing all of our samples directly to you so you can browse blinds, curtains, shutters or awnings from the comfort of your own home. No busy showrooms, no hard selling — just expert advice and plenty of time to make the right choice.

📞 Our phone lines are open Monday to Friday 9am – 4pm.
You can also check our current opening hours on our page.

As a family-run, made-to-measure window shading business based in Poole, our Oakdale office is where our admin team keeps everything running smoothly — handling bookings, orders, deliveries, logistics, and keeping our fitters fully organised and out on appointments across Dorset and Hampshire.

✅ Home consultations
✅ Made-to-measure service
✅ Family business, trusted since 2002
✅ Serving Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wareham, Swanage, Blandford, Gillingham, Fordingbridge, Lymington & surrounding areas

💡 If you need help or would like to book your home appointment, feel free to call or message us — we’re always happy to help.

Summer holidays are amazing… but for working parents and family-run businesses, they can also be one big juggling act ☀️📅
At Ashley Blinds, we know first-hand how challenging it can be balancing customer appointments, work life, childcare and making special memories with your children during the six-week holidays.
That’s why we’ve teamed up again with the brilliant Joanne Dewberry - Networking Ninja to share her practical Summer Holiday Planner for working parents and small business owners.
It’s designed to help you:
✅ organise family time
✅ manage work commitments
✅ reduce last-minute stress
✅ feel more in control this summer
If you’re already wondering how you’ll fit everything in over the holidays, this could really help.

✨ A quick update from Ashley Blinds ✨
We’re incredibly grateful to be experiencing a very busy season, and our installation diary is filling quickly.
Due to high demand and current supplier lead times, standard blinds and awnings are currently estimated at 6–8 weeks.
If you’re hoping to have your home summer-ready, we’d recommend getting booked in sooner rather than later. Thank you for your continued support 💛

These beauties had a tough walk on Saturday, what weather! But they did weather the storm! Sadly the organisers couldn’t allow for the full hike to go ahead but never the less these amazing troopers still raised over a £1000 between them!! 🎉🎉🎉

Great work and great contribution to a very worthy Alzheimer's Society. 🙏🏼

This lovely bunch from the office were out in some very wet weather today for a fantastic cliff-top hike, all in the name of raising awareness and raising funds for the Alzheimer's Society

Each of them has seen the impact dementia can have on families and loved ones, so they wanted to support the Alzheimer’s Society in working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

The Alzheimer’s Society provides vital support to those living with dementia today, while funding research and offering hope for the future.

The girls’ JustGiving donation links are in the comments if you’d like to support this worthy cause too. 🙏🏼

Happy Saturday, everyone. Here’s to them warming up with a well-earned hot drink and knowing that every step they’ve taken today is helping bring support, understanding and hope to those affected by this devastating condition. 💙
