I have had some quotes back for made to measure blinds and they are coming in 3,000 to 5,000. These were from joiners / carpenters and a DIY option.
Even places like Hilarys seem to be over £3000 for 5 windows, which really surprised me.
I can't really afford that for something that will something that will remain in the house once we go.
Any places I can buy "off the peg" at a reasonable price in wood or mdf?
Two of our windows are made of three sections each
90cm x 180m drop
190cm x 180cm drop
90cm x 180cm drop

Another vote for blinds2go - we used them 4 years ago, and the blinds still look good. And because they're made to measure they could cope with our strange shaped windows.
You have to do the measuring yourself, so make sure you do it Very. Carefully. Indeed. Then check it. Then check it again.No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...0 -

I've also ordered from blinds2go. Watch out for deals, they do 10% off quite often0
