Excellent service from start to finish, Steve secured the deal on 2 honeycomb fully opening motorised blinds by beating a price I’d already optioned elsewhere and even threw in an extra for free, from ordering I had the blinds delivered within 3 weeks the two blinds took me around 2 hours to install following the installation video. I thought I had an issue with one blind a day later as it stopped working I called out of hours and left my details and within 30 mins I had a call from Naomi who ran through the troubleshooting process to which I’d found I hadn’t connected the battery wire fully so I can say with confidence from sales to after care the service was excellent and the blinds are top quality. Would happily recommend skylight blinds direct to anyone.

Easy online order process. I just had to find the make and model of my roof window which isn’t a Velux. Order came through reasonably quickly. I’m very happy with my Raspberry pink black out blind which was easy to install and rolls up and down very smoothly and cuts out all light.

After a bit of a communication issue at ths very start of my query I can't fault the process after this, I initially phoned up to make sure I was going to order the correct size & type I wanted,the person I dealt with was very helpful & my two new loft window blinds came within a few days, they were very easy to fit & work brilliantly, quality looks really good too, I would definitely recommend to anyone.

The package arrived on time and in good condition on the appointed day. Working from the instructions and video I unpacked everything and looked for the orange bag of fixings. There were two orange bags with complimentary items which were welcome but no fixings. I found them eventually more or less hidden in the bubble wrap. I wonder why the instructions say look for the orange bag when no bag is put in the package? Assembly was easy but the first trial of the motor was not successful and Naomi's assistance was required to reset everything. Installation was straightforward but if you are not young and strong as in the video you may need three people. Mine was 1.5 x 2.5m and the blind box was very heavy and working at height adds difficulty. I also recommend using a laser measure for all measurements for accuracy. Steel tapes or whatever are not good enough to check parallels and squareness. Initially the blind was a bit uneven but the temperature was very low and once the sun shone the material tightened up considerably. Overall we are very pleased with the quality and service particularly from Naomi who has the patience of Job and an encyclopaediac knowledge of her subject. I had discussions about the orange bag, why the shelf frame has to be installed a minimum of 100mm from the lower edge of the opening (it doesn't) and why wall fixings are not provided (they don't know the nature of the mounting surface) or even mentioned (would save a lot of hassle over the contents of the orange bag and whether it contained all the fixings for the installation). But nit picking aside this was a 5 star job and we should have done it long ago

Having had single storey build with a large lantern fitted I was very happy to find skylight blinds offer a diy supply only fit. This was one of my best purchases from start to finish . From having a boiling hot room in summer to now a cool room with no glare once the blind is closed ,great now for watching television . On a cold day the blind keeps the heat in , which has made a significant difference from being open 👍 Being a diy fit I was a bit nervous about installing the blind , but I needed not worry with the help of the sales team and most of all the YouTube videos was a extremely helpful. I bought a pocket laser measure for the measuring of the opening which was so much more precise and than a tape measure due to the sagging over the length of the opening , I had a difference of 5mm so it a perfect fit worth the small investment to get this right . Guests love our extension and are really impressed with the blind . I was horrified how much companies are charging to have these sort of blinds fitted so diy fit was perfect for me and I saved a lot of money too. I went for the solar powered option which works great Overall skylight blinds have been excellent I could recommend them enough .

Naomi was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process - I wasn't sure what would fit and what would not, so Naomi's help and understanding of my situation was fantastic. The blind was for a shape & size of window that I hadn't come across anywhere (it's a loft conversion from 1966!) so none of the standard sizes would fit. The blind was easy to put up, fits perfectly, works well (I went for the Blackout option and is really does shut out all the light when closed, just what I wanted) and it looks great. I would recommend this company 100%.

I purchased a Lantern LITE Openview which I must say I am extremely happy with. However when the item was delivered it was so well (and tightly) packed that I had some difficulty unpacking it. In the process of unpacking I accidentally nicked the cord. I actually contacted Skylightblinds twice to get a replacement cord. Both times I was told that a package had been posted. To this day I have never seen either of those packages. I ended up ordering some blind cord from good old Amazon got it the next day and got the blind fitted. In short blind 5*, customer service 0*.

I brought the skylight blind a year ago now, I'm not sure how we could do without it. During the winter with the blind closed we saved some much on Heating. Its really does work. I recommend anyone with a Skylight to have one of these fitted. Get the Electric version. It's so easy to use and hasn't let me down. A good product and well worth the money.

We were having difficulty in sourcing skylight blinds for our project which met the brief; quiet, discreet and wireless and then I stumbled across Skylight blinds Direct! From the point of first contact with Steve Burgess (very knowledgeable) to delivery and install it has been a pleasure dealing with this company. I had regular contact with them and was assisted with technical advice which has helped achieve the finish you can witness on the video. Once the item was delivered the installation was straightforward and easy; every component fitted together seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle. In summary, the blinds look amazing and I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Brilliant and thanks again Skylight blinds Direct!

The blinds themselves are very good, now that they are installed, and functioning, correctly. The service from the customer service team was great and the engineers were knowledgeable. Sadly we have had issues with the blinds due to, what turned out to be, three faulty motors in all three of our blinds. We have had them for nearly two years and they have been functioning correctly for about half that time. I have been up and down ladders charging and replacing battaries almost once a fortnight. I have had to have to lots of engineer visits and around 10 different batteries and all motors replaced to reach this point. But now they work they are great. Getting to this point was hard, but all the way the service was awesome, and friendly and helpful. The problem was unknown and we had to try so many options before working it out, but they worked with me to sort it, so very well done. I do recommend them, though if losing charge I suggest check the motor first! do make sure you measure properly as I have a small gap in the frame (my fault) and self install is OK if you are competent. I suggest using mains where possible and, although less pretty, put the battery below the blind, becuse if it runs out of juice while closed it is a pain to get to.

Once in a while you stumble across a company that exemplifies customer service. Skylight Blinds Direct is one such company. From the point of obtaining a quote it has been a pleasure dealing with this company who provided help/assistance above and beyond large companies putting them to shame. I had regular contact from them whilst building works were being undertaken but at no time did I ever feel pressured into a sale. There was an element of genuine sincerity asking about the building project taking place at our property and provided some technical advice regarding our proposed design to house a lantern blind. We eventually reached a point were we were ready to place an order and the lead time was only a couple of weeks. The item was delivered with a thank you note and three chocolate bars. A simple but nevertheless kind gesture which speaks volumes. At first the electrician and I were quite daunted about the installation particularly in our case because we had to build in situ on shelf below our lantern. Although it was a little bit fiddly (attributed to having to assemble off the ground), it was very straightforward. We encountered a couple of very minor issues but Skylight Blinds Direct returned my call almost straight away although to be honest, I should have probably read the instructions a bit more carefully. In summary, the blind looks amazing and have no hesitation in recommending this company. Brilliant!

1st class service. Blinds are brilliant and at a fraction of the cost from Velux. I ordered online late on a Tuesday afternoon and blinds were delivered to me in Northern Ireland early on the Friday morning. (Since Brexit very few things arrive in Northern Ireland quickly!) Went for the white aluminium option as I felt these blend in better with the white PVC window frame. Would highly recommend and will be buying from Skylightblinds Direct in the future.

Very good blinds and super support! Found my unknown brand skylight and is a old roto wood300. Fits just as fine, shame it was a bit tricky to fit as I guess due to ageing wood the size can be wrong of a few millimetres. But I worked around and fits just as good as any other blind you see on the website!
