Q: Do the blinds come with a warranty?

A: Yes, all our blinds come with a one year manufacturer’s warranty, and awnings and Dutch blinds come with a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, however even beyond this period we will always attend and try to repair any blind issues.

 

Q: Do you repair or clean blinds?

We do offer repairs where possible if we originally supplied and installed your blinds. Following your blind(s) fitting, we will always offer advice on how to keep your newly fitted blinds looking their best. For areas which may be subject to high levels of grime or dirt, we would always recommend our range of easy, wipe clean fabrics.

 

Q: What are your lead times?

A: All of our quotes are sent with an up to date lead time which we check regularly with our various suppliers. On average all of our blinds and curtains take between 3 and 5 weeks depending on the blind type, fabric and specification. We are able to offer a fast track on certain blind types and fabrics so please ask for more information.

 

Q: Where are your blinds manufactured?

A: All of our blinds are manufactured here in the UK, by established companies that we have used for many years. This means all of our blinds comply with EU standards and regulations. 

 

Q: Where can I see samples?

A: On the home visit appointment, we bring along all our samples and swatches for you to browse through. We can also follow this up with online links to view and order your own samples allowing you more time to make the correct decision. 

 

Q: Do you only offer domestic blinds?

A: No we also supply and fit made to measure blinds to the commercial market. This ranges from offices to science laboratories. For many years now we have been on the preferred supplies list for a number of Cambridge’s colleges and universities.

 

Q: Do you sub contract work to other fitters?

A: No you always meet the same team - Sean and Jake - for the measure up appointment right through to the installation visit.
