How to Find the Best Blinds & Shutters

Choosing the right professional is important. Here’s what to look for when hiring blinds & shutters services.

Consider the Room's Function

Blackout blinds suit bedrooms, moisture-resistant options are best for bathrooms and kitchens, and light-filtering blinds work well in living areas.

Prioritise Child Safety

If you have young children, choose blinds with child-safe mechanisms such as spring-loaded systems, wand controls, or motorised operation to eliminate loose cords.

Request Free Samples

Reputable suppliers will provide free fabric and material samples so you can see how they look in your home's natural lighting before committing to a purchase.

Compare Made-to-Measure vs Ready-Made

Made-to-measure blinds offer a precise fit and wider choice of fabrics, whilst ready-made options can be more budget-friendly for standard window sizes.

Ask About Guarantees

Check the warranty offered on both the product and the installation, as quality blinds and shutters should last for many years with proper care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blinds & Shutters

Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about hiring blinds & shutters professionals.

Plantation shutters typically cost between £200 and £500 per window, depending on the window size, material, and style chosen. Hardwood shutters are at the premium end, whilst MDF and composite options are more affordable. Full-height shutters cost more than cafe-style, which only cover the lower portion of the window. Bay windows and special shapes such as arched or circular windows attract a higher price due to the additional complexity. Most suppliers offer free home surveys and quotes to provide an accurate price for your specific requirements.

Bathrooms require blinds that can withstand high humidity and occasional water splashes. Faux wood venetian blinds are a popular choice as they replicate the look of real wood but are waterproof and resistant to warping. PVC roller blinds are another practical option that is easy to wipe clean. For a more premium look, waterproof shutters made from ABS or composite materials are ideal. Fabric blinds are generally not recommended for bathrooms unless they are specifically treated for moisture resistance, as they can develop mould over time.

Motorised blinds offer significant convenience, particularly for large windows, skylights, or hard-to-reach locations where manual operation is impractical. They can be programmed on timers to open and close at set times, helping with energy efficiency and home security. Integration with smart home systems such as Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit adds further functionality. The additional cost typically ranges from £100 to £300 per blind above the standard price. For many homeowners, the convenience and modern aesthetic make motorised blinds a worthwhile investment.

Quality blinds typically last between five and ten years, depending on the material and how frequently they are used. Plantation shutters are more durable and can last twenty years or more with minimal maintenance. Factors that affect longevity include the quality of the operating mechanism, exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading, and humidity levels in the room. Choosing reputable brands and professional installation helps maximise the lifespan of your window coverings. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning will also keep them looking their best.

Yes, certain types of blinds can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency. Cellular or honeycomb blinds, such as Duette blinds, have a unique structure that traps air in pockets, providing an insulating layer at the window. Plantation shutters also offer good insulation when closed. Reflective roller blinds can help keep rooms cool in summer by reflecting sunlight. Studies suggest that well-fitted window coverings can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 25%. This can lead to noticeable savings on heating bills, particularly in older properties with single-glazed windows.

Before your fitting appointment, ensure the area around each window is clear and accessible. Move any furniture, ornaments, or curtains away from the windows so the fitter can work without obstruction. If you have existing blinds or curtains that need removing, check with the fitter whether they will handle this or if you should do it in advance. Ensure there is a clear path through your home for the fitter to move between rooms. There is generally no need to redecorate beforehand, as blinds and shutters can be fitted to most window surrounds in their current condition.
