ABOUT US

Above average

Not your average blinds supplier.

Hopkins quietly solves the blind and shading jobs others can't.

From rare fittings to full systems, we design and supply the parts and solutions that don't exist off the shelf and haven't for 270+ years.
Hopkins products are built to last. The service is personal and dependable. No fluff. No shortcuts. No cheap fixings. Just solid engineering, well-made parts, and customers who come back because they trust what they're buying.
But we're more than just long-standing. We're inventive. We take on the tricky stuff – awkward spans, heritage properties, film sets, yachts, you name it. When others say “it can’t be done,” we build the answer – properly, and without fuss.
This is British-made, trade-trusted blinds and fittings, built to last, and built to work.
