“Good website and ordering was straightforward. Asked for delivery to be delayed but it turned up early which was disappointing. Had help with assembly but it was not difficult although over 3m length. The blind ran ok on the ground but there was a blip when in place due to join in lengths. Good and quick comms helped overcome issue. Trims needed to finish neatly and couldn't use B&Q ones as white and set-up anthracite. Others recommended and bought but then an issue with how to attach them. Maybe this side of things need more consideration. Set up looks good. Just need some sunny days to confirm it's been a good investment.”

Hi Alastair, Thank you for your review. We’re glad the website and ordering were straightforward and that communication helped when there was a blip with the join in lengths and the trims. Sorry to hear the delivery came early and the trimming/attachment part didn’t go perfectly. We’ll take your feedback on board regarding the length joins and finishing touches. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“I spoke to one of your customer services people about this. They were very helpful and supplied me the broken part (see photo). Unfortunately I hve been unable to fit it, one of the replacemeny parts has now been broken in my efforts to replace it. Can you give some advice or instructions on how to fit the part, I have one unbroken tab and I don't want to break the last one. Thank you in advance.”

Helpful Report

Hi Nick, Sorry to hear you’re having trouble fitting the replacement part and that one tab has been damaged in the process. For guidance, please ensure the replacement part is oriented correctly, align the tabs with the slots, apply even pressure without forcing, and make sure the opposite end is seated before finalizing. If you still can’t fit it, please contact our support team with any photos and we can advise on the next steps. Kind regards, Team Skylightblinds Direct

“The blind for our skylight has been very efficient in the recent hot weather. We were hesitant to order a bespoke blind online, without viewing the product, but when it arrived, it was good quality, fitted perfectly and was very easy to fit. It was also well packaged. We would recommend this product.”

“Original blind was received but was not correct measurement. This issue was resolved very quickly with replacement parts. Easy to fit. Would have been 5 stars if the original measurement was correct”

“Very good customer service and a great product - our lantern blind is brilliant during the hot summer.”

Helpful Report

Thank you so much for your review, Mark. We’re delighted to hear that you’re happy with both the customer service and your roof lantern blind. It’s particularly lovely to hear that the blind has been brilliant during the hot summer weather and is making a real difference to your room.

“Online advice re size was helpful. Steps needed to pull up and down.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review, Leuene. We’re really pleased to hear that you found our online measuring and sizing advice helpful. We appreciate your feedback regarding needing steps to operate the blind. With roof and skylight blinds, the operating height can vary considerably depending on the installation, so an operating pole can often make opening and closing a manual blind much easier. Thank you for choosing Skylight Blinds Direct and for taking the time to leave your feedback. Many thanks, The Team Skylight Blinds Direct

“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.”

Helpful Report

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

“simple and straight forward to fit”

“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.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you're pleased with the quality of your blind and that it was easy to fit and install. As every blind is made to measure, production does take a little longer, so we really appreciate your patience and understanding. We're so pleased it's working exactly as you hoped. Thank you for your support!

“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”

“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.
