    I have bought blinds from http://www.discountblindcentre.co.uk fairly cheap and quick delivery
  • My mother in law used a company called Bruce blinds. They are based in Scotland but ship all over the country via their website. I cant post a link to their site but if you google Bruce blinds you will find them.


    Hope that helps to save you some money

    go to car boot sale .. buy some good ones or even new ones, bigger size than the ones you require... get home, measure up and mark it with pen....tape it up with gafa tape where the mark is... fire away the grinder tool. cut them of and bingo your desired size!


    i got sick looking for 2 blinders 60 cm x110.... made to order 55 each
    went to car boot sale and bought some new ones and cut them of...total spent 4 pounds for 2 brand new wood blinds and maybe 50 pence of electricity for grinder use ... perfect and no sign of the cut;) wie was over the moon when i told her i bought them at john lewis;)
