    Indeed they do, short waiting time for quotes and they are more flexible with their times. Thnaks for your help.

    No problem, pretty poor business practice from the company.

    My sentiments exactly, I don't think the company were that interested in my business.
  • What sort of quotes have you been getting?

    What sort of quotes have you been getting?

    One quote thus far for two roller blinds and four vertical blinds, came in at £330. I felt this was quite high especially as the blinds in question were quite basic and a friend encouraged me to get three quotes.

    Got a very good quote this morning from this company, £250 including VAT and fitting, this covered four vertical blinds and two rollers for the kitchen and bathroom. Apex quoted me £330 for the same, I wonder if it's worth getting a third quote from another firm?

    I use Cascade on some of my rental properties. After comparing other suppliers I would not consider anywhere else now
