Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Blind cords and chains
Since February 2014, blinds sold in the UK must meet child safety standards: any cords or chains must have safety devices. If a blind is installed for you, the installer must fit them.
Children's rooms
RoSPA advises never fitting a blind with a looped cord or chain in a child's bedroom, and fixing cord cleats at least 1.5 metres from the floor. Corded curtain tracks can pose the same risks.
Inside or over the recess
Decide whether blinds will sit inside the window recess or over it, and ask the fitter to measure. Made to measure blinds are made to the size given.
Questions
Curtain, blind and shutter questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Made to measure curtains, blinds and shutters, curtain and blind fitting, poles and tracks, conservatory, roof, electric and integral blinds, roller shutters, awnings, sail shades and insect screens. The full list is in the form's first step.
Can older blinds with looped cords be made safer?
Yes. Blinds bought before February 2014 may have cords or chains that could form a hazardous loop. Safety devices such as tensioners, cord tidies and cleats can be fitted to them.
Can I request quotes for fly screens?
Yes. Choose Insect Screens and say which windows or doors need them in the description.
What are the best blinds for a conservatory?
Ones made to fit the frames and cope with heat and light, such as pleated or roof blinds. Choose Conservatory Blinds and give the number and shape of the windows and roof panels in the description.
How much do made to measure blinds cost?
It depends on the size and number of windows, the fabric, how the blinds open and close, including electric controls, and how high they are fitted. Ask each fitter to quote for the same windows, so the quotes compare.
