“Fantastic after sales service for self fitting. Great blinds all I had hoped for”

Helpful Report

Thanks Ceri It was lovely working with you and the blinds look fabulous!

“A great product and we love it. On the assembly, we ordered a 4.5m x 1.3m roof lantern blind which must be built on the floor so a flat open space is required. It then needed 3 people to lift it into position but all this effort was worth it for a perfectly working blind. Some reasonable DIY skills are required.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Ian! That's a really large blind and we appreciate you sharing those practical tips about needing floor space and extra hands for the installation - that'll be really helpful for other customers tackling bigger roof lanterns. Delighted to hear it's working perfectly and was worth the effort!

“Staff very helpful throughout. Blinds are really good quality and fit perfectly.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review, Pauline! We're really pleased our team could help you throughout the process and that the blinds are fitting perfectly. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

“We purchased a manual honeycomb openview blind for our roof lantern. Ordering was simple, with good communication. The blind was easy to assemble, install and looks great. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the pole, although functional, it's not particularly modern. Would definitely use Skylight Blinds again. Thank you!”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Kim! We're really pleased the ordering, assembly and installation all went smoothly and that the blind looks great in your roof lantern. We appreciate your feedback about the pole - it's something we'll take on board - and we'd be delighted to help you again in the future!

“We're delighted with the replacement blinds from Skylight for our Velux windows. Ordering was easy to navigate, using the code on our Velux windows, to be sure they'd fit. Very pleased with the delivery and my 22 year old son was able to do the fitting with the help of the video link on the website. Best of all, they look great too.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review! We're really pleased the ordering was straightforward using your Velux code and that your son found the fitting easy with our video guide - it's brilliant when the whole process goes smoothly from start to finish. Delighted they're looking great too!

“Having never put in skylight blinds I wasn’t sure what to expect but it is SOOO easy. 4 screws and you’re done. Just check the code on your skylight windows, find the match on the website and order. It’s very easy and I love my blinds.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this brilliant review, Steve! We love hearing that "SOOO easy" reaction - people are often surprised how straightforward it is when they've never fitted skylight blinds before, but you're absolutely right, match the code and you're sorted. Really pleased you're loving your blinds!

“Delivery - great, arranged a day I knew I could receive it. Price - OK, took advantage of small discount. Other companies charge a lot more for measuring and fitting, but here's the rub: Customer service closed over Christmas period (fine) but then not open until 12th January. Every time I spoke to the phone 'bot' I got an email back asking for more information, very frustrating when I just needed to speak to a real person. For a big 4m x 2m blind the fitting instruction video was not adequate. Nothing comes with paper instructions for a) fitting and installing the blind b) setting the remote. Issues: * easy to contact and speak to someone to buy the blind, no verbal contact since * for a big blind: inadequate fitting and NO installation instructions * no mention of how many people needed to fit such a big blind (as it needs to be fitted as one unit, and is heavy) * I was told that someone with average DIY would be fine with fitting and installing this, when in fact AI said there are clearly things that Joe Average would not be aware of, and is often best fitted by professional installers. The video on the webpage showing a small blind being connected (not installed) - even that doesn't show the two white side blocks being connected - needed to function the blind. Would definitely recommend watching the troubleshooting videos before attempting to install. Oh - and for a split piece side-rail - expect it to be pre-programmed to only go half way! Obviously!”

“easy to fit but does not open and close smoothly.”

Helpful Report

“disappointing really didn't have pre drilled holes it should have a instruction leaflet with the product,apart from this the product is quite good”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your feedback, Robert. We're sorry the installation wasn't as straightforward as it should have been - our fitting instructions are available on our website with video guides, but you're right that having a printed leaflet in the box would be helpful, and we'll take that on board. If you need any help with the installation, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team.

“Great service right from my initial contact. I needed advice on the best blind for my situation and Steve answered all my queries quickly and was really friendly. I don't need to prevent heat coming in during the summer, I want to prevent heat rising into my rooflights in the winter. I'm delighted with the look and performance of the blinds: they've made a huge difference but allow light to filter through during the day”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this wonderful review! We're really pleased Steve could help you find the right solution for keeping the heat in during winter - that's exactly what our honeycomb blinds excel at - and we'll make sure he sees your kind words. Delighted they're making such a huge difference whilst still letting the light filter through beautifully!

“perfect for my back orangery staff were very helpfull as well.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Daniel! We're really pleased the blind is working perfectly for your orangery and that our team could help you. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

“Love!! Our orangery was freezing 6 months of the year, but after fitting the lantern blind it finally keeps the heat in!! Only downside was the lack of instructions, there were a few videos on their website but it took some trial and error.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review! We're absolutely delighted the lantern blind has transformed your orangery and you can finally enjoy it all year round - that's exactly what we're all about. We're sorry the installation wasn't as straightforward as it should have been, and if you ever need any help or have questions, our team is always here to guide you through.

“Our kitchen has two large roof lights (2.8 x 1.5m), great in daylight but a large black space at night. We found the Skylight blinds simple to assemble and with the help of two friends and a bit of preparation easy to install. Very pleased with the appearance and performance and although the roof lights are triple glazed there is a noticeable difference with the insulation they provide.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this great review, Fergie! We're really pleased the blinds have solved that "large black space" problem and are making a noticeable difference to the insulation even with triple glazing - that's brilliant to hear. Appreciate you sharing those practical tips about having a couple of friends on hand for those large roof lights too!

“Fantastic product and great help available to inform the purchase and installation”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review! We're really pleased you're happy with the product and that our team could help you through both the purchase and installation. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

“The blinds arrived earlier than expected, unfortunately without the screws or remote control. Then closed for 2 weeks for Christmas so a little frustrating”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your feedback, Jo, and we're really sorry about the missing screws and remote control - that must have been very frustrating, especially with the Christmas closure timing. If you still need any help or parts, please get in touch with our team and we'll get everything sorted for you straight away.

“Manual pole is universal and not custom meaning no positive connection with the blind, risk of the pole slipping and damaging the fabric.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this feedback, Phil. We appreciate you raising this concern about the pole connection - it's something we'll take on board. Many thanks Naomi

“To be honest I'm not a big fan of automated phone call service however with that put on a back burner for a minute, I did get to talk one to one with Steve a long standing member of the team. He understood the project I was working on and eventually when the time was right we decided to go with Skylight blinds. My advice to anyone who decide to purchase an electric blind is to measure measure and then measure again. Don't be frightened to ask questions to your potential supplier and if your unsure about the project your undertaking ask. These people, behind the automated service are really good and know the business. I'm afraid that being older, I just needed some reassurances of which they supplied. My advice to Skylight Blinds is be patient, chill out on chasing orders as your very good without that.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're really pleased Steve could give you the reassurance you needed and that the blinds are working well - we'll make sure he sees your kind words - and we'll absolutely take on board your feedback about the automated service and sales follow-ups, as we genuinely want every customer to feel supported rather than pressured.

“Very good customer support and quick delivery, thanks!”

Helpful Report

Thank you for this lovely review, Sara! We're really pleased our team looked after you and that the delivery was quick. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

“Sky blind works well and delivered in reasonable time. When arrived I tried to assemble and remote control did not work. I contacted by phone messages etc but it took 2 days for a response, very poor customer care.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your feedback, Sarbjit. We're really sorry about the delay in responding when you had an issue with the remote control - two days is far too long and we should have been there to help you straight away. We're pleased the blind is working well now, but if you need anything else or have any ongoing concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
