What certified expertise adds
Confidence in the decisions behind the blind.
A motorised blind is not just a standard blind with a motor added. The blind type, size, fabric, motor, power route and control method all need to work together. Certified expertise helps make those choices before installation, not after a problem appears.
Correct motor and power
The motor and power route are matched to the blind, with rechargeable or hardwired options considered where appropriate.
Controls that suit your home
Keep things simple with a remote, group several blinds together, or add compatible connected control where it genuinely improves daily use.
Commissioned before handover
Movement, limits and controls are tested at fitting, with compatible app or grouped-control setup completed where included in your project.
Designed as one complete system
Your blind, motor, power and control should work together.
Good motorisation starts with the window and the result you want. We help you choose a solution that looks right, controls light properly and remains straightforward to use once it is fitted.

Why specification matters
Small decisions make a big difference once the blinds are fitted.
A well-specified system should feel simple in daily use. The complexity belongs in the planning and setup — not with the customer afterwards.
Motor selected without enough attention to the blind
Blind and motor considered togetherSize, weight, movement and intended use inform the motorisation choice.
Charging or wiring becomes awkward after installation
Power route planned before manufactureRechargeable and hardwired options can be discussed while the project is still easy to change.
Controls added as an afterthought
Control method chosen around how you will use the roomOne blind, a grouped room, or compatible smart control can be planned from the outset.
Blinds are fitted but not fully set up
Installation includes commissioningMovement and control are checked before handover, with the system demonstrated in your home.
No clear route for support afterwards
Local aftercare from the team that fitted itYou have a Northern Ireland team to contact if you need help with your installed blind system.
Control it your way
Start simple. Add smart control only if it helps.
Motorised blinds do not have to mean a complicated smart-home project. Many customers are best served by a straightforward remote. Others want several blinds grouped together or connected control through a compatible Somfy TaHoma setup.
Connected, app and voice-control features can require additional compatible Somfy equipment and suitable system configuration.

Independent customer feedback
Trust should extend beyond the technology.
Motorisation is part of a wider home-improvement project. Measuring, communication, fitting and aftercare all matter as much as the motor itself.
Somfy Certified Expert FAQ
Questions worth asking before you order.
Motorised blinds are easiest to live with when the important choices are made at the start.
What does Somfy Certified Expert mean for my project?
It means you are dealing with a specialist business recognised within Somfy's dealer network for motorised solutions. For your project, the practical benefit is specialist advice on the blind, motorisation, power and controls, followed by professional fitting and setup.
Do I need TaHoma or a smart-home system?
No. A remote-controlled motorised blind can be the right solution on its own. TaHoma and compatible connected features are optional for customers who want app control, grouped automation, schedules or other smart-home functions.
Should I choose rechargeable or hardwired motorisation?
That depends on the blind, window and project. Rechargeable systems are useful where you want to avoid new wiring, while hardwired power can be especially suitable for new builds, extensions and projects where electrical provision can be planned in advance.
Can you work with my electrician on a new build?
Yes. Where hardwired power is appropriate, the blind and motorisation requirements can be established early so the electrical provision can be planned before final finishes are complete.
What happens when the blinds are fitted?
The blinds are installed and the motorised system is set up for the agreed control method. Movement and controls are checked, and we demonstrate how to use the system before handover.
What if I need help after installation?
You have a local Village Blinds and Shutters team to contact for support with your installed project, rather than being left to resolve setup questions through an anonymous online seller.
