Abbey Awnings provided me with an excellent professional service and were a pleasure to deal with. After a first meeting I had complete confidence that all would be well. My requirements were perfectly understood and two awnings were expertly installed on the expected date.

Geoffrey Crabb

We came across Abbey Awnings after having a new garage door fitted by their sister company. Both jobs were arranged efficiently and their price compared well with another we had obtained previously. The fitting of the awning was carried out without fuss by two friendly and helpful employees and it looks good. Sadly the weather has been cold and wet since it was put up so we have not so far needed to use it. Nevertheless we are happy to recommend Abbey.

Tony Vines

We are very pleased with our awning. We needed some shade on our patio but were unsure on our options. The Abbey surveyor was most helpful and offered constructive advice. Having made our choice the installation was undertaken in less than three hours by the friendly and expert Abbey team. Full marks.

John Jenkins

I cannot praise Abbey Awnings enough. The level of service was beyond expectations. From the very start through the installation and after the company was very professional and most helpful! I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Main elements of our Awnings...

Abbey Awnings Reading operaton

Modern design techniques

A folding arm is the most practical and popular choice for a patio awning to allow unrestricted access under the awning and fold away when the awning is not required.

Aluminium System

Made of solid die cast or drop forged components with extruded premium grade aluminium profiles; epoxy powder coated for a lifetime of maintenance free operation.

Quality Fabrics

A wide selection of fabrics are available based not only on colour and pattern but on density and solar protection and can incorporate logos and branding for commercial applications if required.

Manual or Automtic

Manually operated with a hand crank or a motorised or automated system can be installed. Motorised systems provide more precise operation and help to make the most of the awning.

Abbey Awnings create an area out of direct sunlight and light showers which is great for entertaining friends and family or providing a more comfortable outdoor area for your customers. If used in conjunction with our wind support system the Awnings can be used in winds greater than normally possible for this type of product.
