From initial online query, to Mark coming out to measure and offer advice & finally to Richard fitting blinds to eight windows, I couldn’t be happier. A professional, efficient, personable service. Would unhesitatingly recommend!

Before you book

A few things you may want to know

Everything you need to know before choosing your free home appointment.

Yes. Your home appointment is completely free. It gives you the opportunity to discuss your project, see suitable options in your own home, have your windows professionally measured and receive a quotation.

No. That is one of the reasons for the appointment. Your design consultant can help narrow the options around the room, privacy, light control, style and how you use the space.

Allow around 30 minutes for 1–10 blinds and around 60 minutes for larger blind projects, new builds and plantation shutters. The exact time will depend on the number of windows and how many options you would like to consider.

We carry out free home appointments across Northern Ireland. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, call our team on 0800 059 0747 and we can check for you.

Yes. Once your design consultant has measured your windows and discussed the options you are interested in, we can provide a quotation based on your chosen products and specification.

You’ll receive confirmation of your appointment. Your design consultant will then visit your home during the time window you selected, discuss what you are looking for and professionally measure the relevant windows.
