What's a reasonable cost to pay for blinds?

Hey guys, we moved into our first property back in December and slowly things are coming together. Next thing we need is blinds. We had a guy come over and to fit 2 in their bedroom, 1 in their second and another for their patio doors in their ktichen it will cost £350 which includes installation.

At first I did receive think that was too bad but looking on Amazon I could see blinds for about £20. Just wanted to know if that sounded like a reasonable amount to pay.

Many thanks all

What sort of blinds?

Roller blinds

I installed our own roller blinds , and i would suggest a large chunk of the £350 is for that!

Argos....Homebase...Ikea

And hang them yourself, would be easy and cheaper.

Depends if they're blinds of a standard size, too.

Just use Ebay.
As long as you can measure everything is available at a fraction of the price of supply/install companies.
If you can't be bothered or are dangerous with a drill spend £350.

I have used Dunelm Mill for a couple of roller blinds in my place.


I just wanted different colours and blackout style - so I kept the brackets and chains etc from existing blinds as they were much better quality than the crappy stuff that comes with dunelm blinds, I just cut the new ones down to match the old ones.

Letter before action. I would speak to your local constabulary, while it would never go court as it's clearly a accident it may well but a bit of fire under the companyis toes.
