“My purchase of the skylight blind was straight-forward, thanks to the helpful guidance on the website. When the blind was delivered, I was impressed by the good quality of the engineering. Fitting the blind into position was relaively easy and it works well, so I'm pleased with my purchase. When I placed my order on 25/06/2026, the confirmation said nothing about the expected lead-time, so I did not know how long I would need to wait. When the blind was ready, it was handed to Evri for delivery. However, Evri emails mentioned a package from Fourds Ltd, which had no obvious connection with Skylight Blinds. The package arrived on 17/07/2026. The process would have been better if Skylight Blinds had given me some indication of the lead-time when I placed the order and then contactted me again, when it was ready for delivery, to tell me that it would be delivered by Evri as a package from Fourds Ltd.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, Ray. We’re really pleased to hear that you found the ordering process straightforward, were impressed with the quality and engineering of the blind, and found it relatively easy to fit. We also really appreciate your constructive feedback about the communication around the lead time and delivery. You’re absolutely right that it would have been helpful to have a clearer indication of the expected lead time when you ordered, and also to know that the delivery notification could arrive showing Fourds Ltd rather than Skylight Blinds Direct. We can understand why that would have been confusing. We’re continually looking at ways to improve our order and delivery communications, so feedback like this is genuinely useful. Most importantly, we’re delighted that your skylight blind is now fitted, working well and that you’re pleased with your purchase. Many thanks, The Team Skylight Blinds Direct

“Build quality - Average Packaging - Poor. Slip bracket had moved, making it imposible to fix the 2 lengths together. Instructions - Avarage.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your feedback, Sandy. We’re sorry to hear that the packaging and instructions didn't meet your expectations. In particular, we apologise that the slip bracket had moved during transit, making it difficult to join the two sections together. This isn't how the blind should arrive, and we appreciate how frustrating that must have been when you were trying to assemble it. We really appreciate you taking the time to highlight these points. Feedback on the packaging and fitting instructions is useful to us and helps us identify where we can improve the experience for future customers. Many thanks, The Team Skylight Blinds Direct

“Arrived as advised. Easily assembled and installed. My only regret is not paying extra for the remote option but the pole works perfectly and the blind keeps out the searing heat. Would recommend photo supplied when just fitted. Finishing off still to do.”

Helpful Report

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Alison. We’re delighted to hear that your blind arrived as advised, was easy to assemble and install, and is doing such a good job of keeping out the searing summer heat. It’s great to hear that the operating pole is working perfectly for you too – although we completely understand why the remote-controlled electric option is tempting! Thank you as well for sending us a photo. We absolutely love seeing our roof lantern blinds fitted in customers’ homes. Thank you for recommending Skylight Blinds Direct – we really appreciate it. Many thanks, **The Team Skylight Blinds Direct

“I had several issues with the blind, none of which were the fault of Skylightblinds direct, but their assistance was much appreciated (one was the parts delivered had been damaged in transit and the other was a cut cord). Before purchasing, I researched the market and several installers wanted circa £3000 to fit a similar blind. I purchased mine for less that £1000 and fitted it myself, with the help of my son. The online instuctions were useful and made the task much easier.”

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re really pleased we could help get the issues resolved and that you and your son managed to fit the blind yourselves. It’s particularly lovely to hear that our online instructions helped make the installation easier. Being able to offer a high-quality, made-to-measure skylight blind that customers can DIY self-fit and potentially save a considerable amount compared with fully fitted alternatives is exactly what we aim for. Thank you again for choosing Skylight Blinds Direct and for sharing your experience – we really appreciate it. Many thanks, The Team Skylight Blinds Direct

“Good quality blind, delivery time is a bit long but they do warn of this. Easy to fit and install, works for what we needed.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you're pleased with the quality of your blind and found it easy to fit and install. As each blind is made to measure, production can take a little longer, so we really appreciate your patience and are glad it was worth the wait. Thank you for your support!

“Really pleased with our purchase of the manual blind for our kitchen roof lantern. The item was very easy to assemble and had been manufactured to the exact size stated and so fit our lantern aperture perfectly. The blind operates perfectly due to the quality of the materials. I fitted the blind by myself by screwing two temporary long screws into the aperture to support the one end of the frame whilst I held and fixed the other end using the supplied screws. I did the job during this very hot weather we're having and the moment I drew the blind shut I felt an instant drop in temperature. We have left the blind closed during this hot weather as we chose the none blackout version that let's light through and have been amazed at how much cooler it has made the room. Super smooth experience ordering the blind and good communication from Skylight Blinds up to and including the delivery. We would highly recommend this company to anyone shopping for a Skylight/ roof lantern blind.”

Thank you for your fantastic review. We're delighted to hear your manual roof lantern blind fitted perfectly and was straightforward to assemble and install. It's wonderful to know you noticed such a difference in keeping your kitchen cooler during the hot weather while still enjoying plenty of natural light with the light-filtering fabric. We also appreciate you sharing your installation tip for fitting the blind on your own—it will be really helpful for other customers. Thank you for your recommendation and your support.

“My ceiling mounted blind works well after some adjustments to the fittings. The blind dimensions were spot on and fitted the space nicely. I used screws instead of the pins supplied at the roller wall fittings as the pins seemed very flimsy and I put extra screws along the side rails as advised in the instructions. Pulling the blind open works best when holding both sides of the blind. It is effective as a sun shield and I can recommend it and Skylightblinds Direct with confidence.”

Thank you for your kind feedback. Knowing your blind was an exact fit and quick to install is wonderful to hear. We hope it serves you well for many years, and we really appreciate you choosing Skylight Blinds Direct.

“I had very good communication and advice as I was buying my skylight blind - The window/skylight was a Roto fitting and Skylight reproduced the exact measurements on the info plate embedded on the frame . When it arrived (a few days earlier than predicted) it fitted perfectly and I was able to fit it myself very easily. I chose an Anti glare material which has massively reduced the solar heat coming in. Essential in this heatwave. It looks great too. I'm delighted with it and defininely recommend this company.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It's wonderful to hear our advice helped you choose the right blind for your Roto roof window and that manufacturing it to the exact specification resulted in a perfect fit. We're also pleased it arrived ahead of schedule and that you found it easy to install yourself. It's fantastic to know the anti-glare fabric has made such a difference during the recent heatwave while still looking great. Thank you for your recommendation—it means a great deal to us.

“I am very happy with my skylight blind. It keeps the sunlight from the skylight out of my kitchen but lets in the light. Previously, the only way to keep the kitchen cool in such hot weather was to cover the skylight with a tarpaulin outside on the flat roof which made the kitchen so dark. Now it's cooler and lighter. My son installed the blind with no problem at all using your online fitting instructions. Brilliant, thank you.”

Helpful Report

Thank you, Lynda, for taking the time to share your experience. It's lovely to hear your new skylight blind is keeping the strong sunshine at bay while still letting plenty of natural light into your kitchen. Knowing you've been able to retire the tarpaulin and enjoy a cooler, brighter space is exactly what we hope our blinds will achieve. We're also pleased your son found the fitting instructions easy to follow. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope you continue to enjoy your blind for many years to come.

“Excellent product for a large lantern roof. Installation instructions were very clear and product does the job perfectly. Given size of latern roof and associated blind (which is quiet light), did require 3 people to hold and fit but not complicated!”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your fantastic review. It's great to hear the blind has been the perfect solution for your large lantern roof and that the installation instructions made the fitting process straightforward. Larger blinds can certainly benefit from an extra pair of hands, so we're pleased to hear everything went smoothly and that the finished result is exactly what you were hoping for. Thank you for choosing Skylight Blinds Direct.
