History
Abacus Blinds has been serving customers across Maidstone and Kent for over 40 years. Built on a reputation for quality, care and personal service, the company became a trusted local name for bespoke blinds, shutters and patio awnings.
After many successful years, previous owners Mark and Michelle Watson retired in July 2025, handing the business over to the dedicated team who have long been part of Abacus: John, Bret, Stephanie and Roxanne. Today, we continue the same tradition of quality and reliability that has defined Abacus Blinds for decades.
