Balcony Awnings

Create the perfect area for socialising and relaxing on your balcony and spend even more time outdoors with friends and family by adding a balcony awning.  A balcony in the sun can be too hot and not fully utilised. This space becomes a cool and attractive area to socialise during warmer days and into the evening when you offer some dynamic cover. We offer a large range of balcony awnings with an even bigger range of colours, sizes, and automation using the latest technology.  We also provide a comprehensive balcony awning repair service including re-covering, motor repairs, arm repairs and replacement with many years of experience across a wide range of brands.

Whatever you need to augment your balcony and provide shade, we have an awning that is perfect for the spot. We sell and expertly install new balcony awnings across Surrey and surrounding areas including Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Kent. We are based in Guildford and have many happy awning customers across Surrey and all the surrounding counties.

Benefits of Balcony Awnings

There are so many benefits!

Greater weather protection
A brilliant way to stay outdoors when you have a house with a balcony, an apartment or flat, even during a light shower. No need to rush and clear everything indoors when you can stay and watch the weather change back to sunshine again.

More shade and an extended living space
We can advise on balcony awning choice, size, colour and automation to augment your living area. It’s great to stay cooler in summer with more shade.

Innovative cassette designs and trusted fitting
When open or closed, your balcony awning will fit seamlessly onto the side of your house, appartment or flat and become a focal point for relaxing and socialising.

UV protection
A balcony awning not only protects you from the sun’s rays, but can also protect furniture indoors and keep rooms cooler too. Even balcony plants that need less direct sunlight in summer can thrive under a balcony awning.

Enhanced property aesthetics and value
Our balcony awnings are top quality and have proven reliability. They can improve the aesthetic look of your home/appartment/flat and make it more attractive. As an additional functional and augmenting feature it can also increase the desirability of your property.

With such a wide variety of awnings available, it is very likely we can find many awnings to fit the space you have. The best way to start the process is to get in touch so we can do a free site check.

How weatherproof are awnings?2025-02-18T17:43:24+00:00

An awning fitted at a 15-degree pitch will self-drain rainwater from the surface. If it is windy refer to the wind class of your awning which will let you know which wind speed the awning is rated for. Many awnings can include a wind speed monitor which will automatically close the awning if the wind speed gets too gusty. Fabrics vary and offer light rain protection. In practice, this means all sorts of weather, but we can advise on the limitations of your awning fabric choice. Guarantees do not cover your awning if left open during weather outside its operational rating.

Do I have a choice of fabric colours for an awning?2025-02-18T17:43:24+00:00

Do you need planning permission for an awning?2025-02-18T17:43:25+00:00

No planning permission is required, if you are a commercial building and you are having the awning sign written then it will come under signage regulation. If you would like sound advice, then please get in touch.

How long will the work take from order to completion?2025-02-18T17:43:25+00:00
