Sounds about right to me. You are paying for national advertising and the sales rep who would make a decent amount. Then the person or people who own the company want to make a lot of money. Strip all of this out then you are down to the price of a local family business. And most probably do a better job.Got a quote from one of their reps, £750 for new (black out) curtains and a new rail, fook me, that can't be right can it?
Anyone know a decent /cheaper company?
I got quoted £2900 for 4 shutters off them last week so sounds about rightGot a quote from one of their reps, £750 for new (black out) curtains and a new rail, fook me, that can't be right can it?

Its a big bay window, the new rail is made of aluminium (slides better). I put up the last rail in our bedroom and the rep said it was upside down! cheeky c-unit, it works.How big are your windows? Full front of your house?
Can't you buy them yourself and hang the rail?

Did you hang 'em yourself, Johnny?I got some made to measure blinds from a website, Terry's blinds. Reasonable price and can't fault the quality.

Aye the drop, he wanted to take it lower (more fabric) and explained how the lower the drop the better it would be in terms of blocking out the sun at 5am (in the summer), I guess he has a point and yes blackout curtains (lining) is a lot more expensive.That price doesn't seem to bad. Depends on the drop too, and isn't blackout liner more expensive? The aluminium tracks are more expensive, and supposedly much better too. I had a quote for something similar recently from a local curtain specialist, and it was more expensive than that. My son had Hilary's for blinds, and they rang him after a couple of weeks and offered a much discounted price....
That's quite an unbelievable price! Did you barter or did they have a sale on?I used Coventry blinds. Whole house in blackout blinds. 6 windows plus a French door. Came to under £600.
We have Diamond shaped Leaded Glass Windows, so blinds look shite, no need for net curtains either as we aren't over-looked.My daughter had blinds fitted all over her new house a couple of years ago. Used Coventry Blinds I think (Bell Green?) Got the lot supplied and fitted for less than you have been quoted.
But, bay window? forget it with blinds.

Yep, that's the one.Think I've used them, did they used to be in Holbrooks by One Stop?
The world has officially gone mad hasn't it?Am I the only one here who can't believe non-gay blokes are discussing window hangings in a footie forum?

A 'bit of money'? It would be cheaper to hire a prostitute for the night and ask her to put the blinds up! I'm sure they've had stranger requests.I see it as blokes trying to save a bit of money for manly things like power tools, fingering and cans of special brew.
