The products are excellent quality and reasonably priced. The surveyor was excellent, he spent time explaining options to me as the awning I had chosen would not technically work with my apex roof.... See more

We are delighted with our new Markilux…

We are delighted with our new Markilux awning. It is an extremely attractive practical and contemporary addition to our home. Our experience with Samson has been superb from our contacts with Kerry, Lana and Jaymi on the sales side to James the excellent surveyor and the efficient and skilled installers Chris and Joseph. We really have been impressed by the care and attention shown by each member of the team and we would not hesitate to recommend this company.

2 x Awnings

We couldn’t be happier with the installation that Mickey and Jamie did of our two Awnings a few weeks ago. They were thoroughly professional and pleasant. They kept the area clean and tidy throughout the process, completed the installation in just two or three hours, and cleaned up after themselves. They also took the time to thoroughly explain how to use the devices. We couldn’t recommend these guys enough!

I have used this company

I have used this company, referred them to friends and the quality of products and after sales service is incredible. It reminds me of the saying "when quality and service lasts long after price is forgotten"! Thank you.

Remote Pergola

Absolutely delighted with our new pergola and the service from start to finish was superb. The team were all very knowledgeable to help in the selection to meet our needs. Today Micky and Jamie installed in just over 2 hours. Extremely efficient and left everywhere lovely and clean afterwards. Highly recommend

Weinor Awning

From a very helpful visit to the showroom to a very professional installation, the whole process was seamless. We’re really pleased with the quality of our awning and would highly recommend Samson Awnings.

Expensive Product that Doesn’t Work - Poor Aftersales

It is with huge disappointment I write this review.
My husband and I had a Markilux awning and canopy fitted on 4th April 2024 and indeed after being chased to complete a Trust Pilot review the same day, gave them what we thought was a justified glowing review, see review from Dermot O’Neill.
however:-
Mickey and his colleague installed the remote controlled awning and canopy and before leaving gave a demonstration advising that there wasn’t a lot of solar power in the canopy (shade plus) function so just basically showed how it works and lowered only a little. Sadly that is the last time the canopy has worked (now 22 days ago).
We contacted Samson the following Monday (8th April) and after a difficult conversation (it felt like we were being fobbed off) finally Jaymi agreed to send Mickey out to have a look. This happened and when Mickey saw that the canopy was completely dead said he would report back and take advice from Markilux. After chasing and chasing for an update Mickey came again on 16th April to charge the battery under the advice from Markilux in Germany using a piece of equipment they had sent him, this proved that the battery was completely dead and wasn’t holding charge. Since then we have been repeatedly told that Samson were doing everything they could to rectify the situation but never, on any occasion have we been given the courtesy of an update call, indeed they have never once contacted us and we have had to repeatedly call them with them promising to call us back with an update which has never happened. We are now on the 26th April and the installation has never worked to how it should do.

We paid a lot of money for this system and up to now it appears that once Samson have got your money their after sales service is non existent, we paid a premium price for a premium product, where’s the premium service?
Whilst writing this review I have just now received the first reply telephone call (all the other promised return calls didn't transpire), advising that Samson Company Director will call us on Monday - let’s wait and see!!!!

Quality and professionalism

From the start of our experience with Samson, it has been nothing but excellent service - the quality of the product is second to none and the installers did a fantastic job, even cleaning as they worked through the installation ensuring dust was kept to a minimum, even catching the drill dust as they installed the mounting brackets, both Mick and his colleague were very polite and attentive throughout. I can’t thank Samson enough for their care and dedication throughout.
Kerry was so helpful and James the surveyor was a complete gentleman and Jaymi from the install team really excelled in bringing the installation forward. I am so excited by the awning and will have no hesitation in recommending Samson. Thank you all. Trish & Dermot

Very Impressed with Pergola

Very Impressed with Pergola
Kerry in the sales team was knowledgeable about the products available and gave us good advice about which product would best meet our needs. Customer service was excellent. Installation of the pergola by Micky and Jamie was fast and efficient and they left our patio in a clean condition. We love the pergola and are looking forward to using it.

Recently visited the open day

Recently visited the open day. We were greeted by friendly staff on our arrival. I had a look around at the products displayed and spoke to a member of the sales team who guided me through products within my budget. I have since had a survey and looking forward to having my awning installed. Great service and staff, highly recommend.

We would like to apologise for giving the impression that you perceive, in that you thought we had ignored you, but would like to assure you that we have products for every budget possible and our very experienced and in house sales staff would not ever walk away from anyone without any form of explanation, so we don’t know on earth happened.
