How much did your blinds cost for a three bedroom house?

Newbiefirsttimesilobuyer2023

I’m looking for blinds for my three bedroom three storey house. 

I appreciate everyone has different size windows and different number of windows in their home so I know it can’t be compared like for like. 

I’m just trying to get some ball park figures and ideas about whether it’s cheaper to buy the blinds and have someone install them or have a company to fit them for me. 

Any suggestions of any good companies would be helpful too so I can get some quotes. 

Thanks!

It’s always cheaper to buy the blinds - blindsTogo and other similar place would be a good starting point. If it’s a small 3 bed with small windows then around £800 going up to £2000 fitted (if you buy better quality blinds and have a local handi- person to fit)

A tad rude for an honest appraisal of your question. My last 3 bed had 14 windows, with 2 very large bays. Current has 8 small windows.

My son paid £800 for two large and oddly shaped bay windows, fitted, from Hillary's Blinds, a couple of years ago.  Vertical blinds.

Local company, who measured and fitted them worked out around £200 per bedroom sized window (double pane, 105cm width), a little more for blinds fitted to patio doors. Obviously depends on type of blinds and material, vertical, Venetian, Roman or roller.

Surely at least some suppliers have some online quoting calculators, if you want a vaguely accurate answer?

5 guineas, or 105 shillings in 1953.  Expensive but worth it.

Not many equip a whole house in one 'fit'.  Allow anything from £10 a window to over a £1k per window in your budget?

Measure the windows and look online for ready made (e.g.Dunelm or places like "blinds to go") for custom fit prices to work out some more accurate numbers.

Material(s) will make some pricier than others. Backing/blackout/thermal linings add cost.

Type of blind: roller, roman, perfect fit, will make a difference too.

Fitting will invariably be much more expensive that d-i-y.

IKEA sell blinds. They are quite cheap but obviously you will end up fitting them yourself.

Or maybe you can find someone willing to fit them for you.
