Blinds

Can anyone recommend me a supplier? Iam probably going to go for your standard vertical types one, that are about 6'' wide. They need to cover a corner of my lounge windows and double doors.

Thanks all.

I went with Hillary's blinds after seeing the ads on TV, they were all right. Cost about £150 for a 1.5m Venetian blind in my kitchen to be fitted. Lead time was a bit longer than I'd hoped though.

Have used Hillary's in the past also, no real problems to be honest and they appear to be decent quality.

Decided to go the route of blackout blinds...getting some samples from blinds-2go.co.uk/ can anyone suggest anyone else to use?

BlindsUK.net

I've used these and know someone else that has used them with no problems.

Can't believe no one has suggested this yet.

i got my black out blinds from tesco direct. cost about £12 each and do a good job of blocking out all light. the cord is the only part that feels cheap but hardly that bothered for £12

Hilary were good. The missus got our whole house done Venetian blinds. Decent enough price, very good quality and a not too unreasonable lead time.

There's a blind shop just down the road from me. I went years before I realised it just sold window blinds, and wasn't in fact a supply shop for partially sighted people.
True story.

All the blinds in our flat are from here too.

So we've got blind people standing up that are 6ft wide, and you need a supplier?

Whatever floats you boat!!

Oh, stand and bang! Jack Russell!

Another one for hillarys. Really good service, came to us, we chose what we wanted, came home from work a couple of weeks later and it was done.

Used http://www.247blinds.co.uk/ recently, they sent through a load of samples first, ordered and delivered quickly and happy with the quality. Recommended.
