“Ordered a flat roof blind which Steve was very helpful to make sure I ordered the correctly. Was hard to put up but got there in the end and the results are great - will be ordering another blind from them”

Thanks so much Martin

“Prompt delivery and good aftersales advice. Blinds were easy and quick fit, and simple to use. Gives a total blackout”

Thank you

“Easy to choose correct blind following the help on the site. Quick delivery and easy fitting”

Thanks so much

“Excellent pre-sales service. I was able to speak to someone who understood and answered my questions. Never had to deal with anyone just reading from a script, which makes a nice change these days. The estimated time for supply was up to 5 weeks, but it was delivered much faster than that. My only slight problem was that the fitting video makes it look far too easy to clip the blind into the A1 profile. The clips are a VERY tight fit and require a lot of effort to clip in. The blind has to go into the bottom of each clip first, but the presence of the B profiles prevents you tilting it. If the top levers on the clips were a bit longer, it would be possible to push them back to make getting into the bottom of the clips easier. I presume the chap in the video has some kind of knack due to having done it many times. Also, the tension on the cables makes getting the other end into the A3 profile very difficult. Again, it needs a great deal of strength to get it clipped in, and doing so standing on a stepladder that's trying to move backwards (I think Newton's 3rd law has something to do with it) doesn't help. But with perseverance it eventually goes together. Now the blind is installed it works nicely.”

HI Clive thanks so much for your informative review. The honeycomb blind can take a bit of welly to clip in. I am glad now that it is installed it is doing its job well! Many thanks Naomi

“The product is fine, but the thing that really made Skylightblinds Direct stand out from their competitors was that they helped me identify my Velux window type even though it lacked the plates that are supposed to indicate this.”

Thank you so much for the 5 star rating. And we love that our customer service team helped identify your window. Many thanks Naomi

“Good service and very happy with the quality of the blind.”

Thanks so much for taking the time to review us and I am glad you like the blind!

“Excellent service, blind was delivered quickly, easy to install and fitted perfectly.”

Thanks so much

“Excellent quality item, perfect fit. Blackout levels are outstanding, much better than I expected. Quick delivery and reasonably priced. Couldn't fault them. Will definitely recommend Skylight Blinds to others :)”

That is great to hear. Thanks so much for your feedback Dan.

“I am Allan Moore the owner of Creative Window Blinds, Unit 3, 1987 Maryhill Road, Glasgow G20 0BT over the past 23 years in business I have been manufacturing Window blinds to the highest quality at the most affordable prices I can for my customers, I recently came across this company Skylightblinds and after seeing the quality of their products going forward with my buissunes I will now be offering to supplying and fit Skylightblinds for my customers because I feel Skylightblinds as a company have the same passion that I have when it comes to quality price and customer service.”

AAh thanks so much please let us know if you have any more jobs for us!

“Already completed this previously”

Thanks for the review

“Don't use the website to order a lantern blind, as it will ask for the agreed price, which you can only get by phoning them. There might also be a MUCH cheaper option, as in our case. Would have saved me some time chasing the order if they said upfront that the lead time for production is 5 weeks. Arrived safely and all pieces present. No installation instructions though - watch the video on the website. On which note, it is nowhere near as straightforward to install as the video suggests. The only way to get the unit and the other (tensioned) end into the clips on the rails appears to be to unscrew them and move the brackets up. Otherwise, you cannot get the bottom of the bracket into the groove, before 'moderate' force is needed to bang the unit and tension end home. The chap in the video did this first time, in about 2 minutes. It took me 2 days!! Tip - feed 2 pieces of string through the wiring holes before securing the blind mechanism, so that you can tie the wires to them and pull through. The spindle in the blind is right in the way and you'll unlikely get the wires hidden unless you do this. Now it's installed and working, I'm really pleased with it. I would however, say that this is a job for an advanced DIY-er or professional. I have really struggled to install it, despite the video (which makes it look much easier than it actually is). Probably more difficult in settings with flat, rather than apex, lanterns (as in my case). Hence 4 stars out of 5.”

Thanks Steven for your constructive review. Lead times are available in the download centre as are the fitting instructions that are emailed out with the dispatch email. Glad you have finally got the blind installed and sorry about the issues that you had.

“Good quality blinds. VEry simple to fit and operate.”

Thanks Ian

“This is the most comprehensive Blinds manufacturer and supplier I have known in the industry, and this is speaking as an architect. They will support you all the way with good quality installation manuals and the product is first class.”

“I'm a disabled pensioner who originally phoned for help and guidance; your assistant was quite unhelpful, didn't know what I was talking about and simply referred me to your web site to select what I wanted from a picture. Waited 3 weeks for two (quite expensive) blinds to arrive and they wouldn't fit the interior contours of the window frames. Called for help and was asked to send photo after photo with measurements, all of which carried on for a week. I repeatedly asked to speak with a manager or the "boss" and all was denied. Finally I gave up and called a local window fitter/carpenter who made physical changes to the wooden frames to enable fitment of the blinds. That cost me an additional £200. Would I ever use your firm again - NO. Would I ever recommend your firm to others - NO. Very disappointed and extremely frustrated with the whole scenario.”

Hi Mike Thanks for your review I am sorry about this experience. I will find out what went on and get back to you with regards to this. Apologies again. Naomi

“Followed the instructions (after a phone call to the Co. ..very helpful) Just take your time and its painless 😁”

Skylightblinds Direct 5 star review on 18th September 2023

Hi Peter thanks for your lovely review. Your blind looks great. Thanks so much for sharing.

“The only problem I had was fixing lt into the clips. The problem being seeing where they were. The other side was ok I could see them.”

Hi Martyn Thanks for this feedback. Yes it can be tricky to see where to fix. Glad you managed to do it.

“We bought a tension blind for a small flat skylight. The product is well priced but you get what you pay for. Quality is ok, not great but it works! The pole that you open and close it with is large and clumsy but does the trick.”

Thanks for your feedback Michelle

“Reasonably priced, quick delivery, easy to fit. Love the blind we purchased. Ease of fitting and opening & closing is great. Looks great. Would definitely purchase from again if needed blind. Thank you.”

Thanks Suzanna, we are so happy that you love your blind.

“I'm sure everybody who buys blinds online worries about whether the end result will fit. I measured about ten times and discussed the details with the helpful Jake and Naomi at SkylightBlinds until we were sure they were right. But unfortun ately my blinds (Blefa, a defunct brand) had a sting in the tail. The handle was so positioned that the blind just could not close. When I told Naomi, she immed iately and without any quibbling refunded the full purchase price, that same day, even though it was a custom blind and by their terms of sale, they were no obl iged to! So be assured that this company's customer service is beyond reproach and they will look after you.”

Hi Chris thank you for the lovely review. We should have spotted the handle would interfere with the blind. So sorry about the problem. Glad it was resolved.

“Easy to follow website. Excellent service, excellent product, arrived quickly. I do love a company that invests in a decent courier. Worth every penny. Thank you.”

Thanks Jenny
