“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.

“The blind arrived and it was really simple to install. All the hard work had already been done. The blind is wonderful and does exactly what we needed it for. Very happy.”

Helpful Report

Thank you, Annette, for your lovely review. It's fantastic to hear the installation was so straightforward and that all the preparation had already been done for you. We're delighted the blind is doing exactly what you wanted and that you're so happy with the finished result. Thank you for choosing Skylight Blinds Direct.

“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.

“Excellent purchase! Amazing service and was delivered before I expected it to be. Very straight forward to assemble, and looks fantastic up. It feels high quality when using it, although I’d say the only slight negative was the quality of the pole, which feels slightly flimsy when using. Otherwise, I cannot recommend enough!”

Helpful Report

Thank you, James, for such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear your blind arrived earlier than expected, was straightforward to assemble and looks fantastic now it's installed. It's also great to know you're pleased with the overall quality. We really appreciate your feedback about the operating pole, as it helps us continue to improve our products. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Skylight Blinds Direct.

“Good quality product. Needs two people to install safely even with nails to help support. Used plasterboard rawplugs but the heads on the screws protruded slightly so not allowing the plastic runner to move over them. Had to make the holes in the product slightly larger to allow the screw to be tightened. One suggestion - if the holes in the product were made into slots it would have made it easier to install having a little bit of movement”

We also appreciate your comments about the installation and your suggestion of using slotted fixing holes.

“All the blinds are very good and value for money. The remote control one for skylight was a two man job but easy enough to put together and fit and works really well....made such a difference during this heat wave. Blinds for windows that are manual are very good and were easy to install, only thing is the string to operate is very small and on my windows I have to go on tip toe to reach to put blind up and down. Customer service was very good and they were quick to respond and delivery was only 2 weeks.”

“Great product. Had a high velux and needed a solution to block the sun on these hot days! Good quality and easy to fit if on floor lever, not so easy 4m up but I got there. Almost a month to deliver so gave 4 star. Would I buy again?absolutely if it lasts. Luke”

Skylightblinds Direct 4 star review on 6th July 2026

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review, Luke. We're so pleased to hear the blind has been an effective solution for keeping the sun out of your high VELUX window during the recent hot weather. Fitting any blind at 4 metres high is certainly more challenging, so it's great to hear you got it installed successfully. We also appreciate your patience with the delivery time, as every blind is made to order. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope you enjoy your blind for many years to come.

“The instructions to install blinds aren’t great. Even YouTube videos aren’t forthcoming. Wouldn't recommend doing them yourself, as not cheap blinds.”

“Fiddly and difficult for an amateur to fit. Looks ok once fitted but not running smoothly and would not last long with regular use. Disappointed overall.”

Helpful Report

Thank you, Guy, for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear the installation was more difficult than expected and that you're disappointed with how the blind is operating.
