Fantastic service and after care from Naomi for our skylight electric blind.

We had measured the length incorrectly but called up Naomi who arranged to have them sent back and trimmed and re delivered to us. She then kept in touch and told us how to get everything up and running. Blind looks fantastic

Inexperienced fitters beware, installing large dimension blind is non-trivial!

Initial quality issue was worked through with reasonable support by email/video call.

Installation would have been easier if full pdf guides were better signposted rather than ridiculously simple ‘Ta-dah!’short YouTube videos. Took google to find out how to reset the motor end stops which then took me to the company website.

My horizontal atrium blind is 3.4m x 1.1m which felt like it was getting beyond the limits of the design; racking and twisting due to the weight of motor and battery in either end during installation. The joint in the side rails should be made much more robust recognising that shipping would be complicated by not having a join.

Now it’s up I’m very happy with the product.

EXCELLENT ORANGERY BLIND

Our neighbour got one of these blinds and was very impressed. Skylight blinds were very helpful and Naomi even queried our measurements. Modern builders do not seem to build exact rectangles! It was a large orangerie blind, but my husband and I managed to fit it ourselves (we are in our 70’s). Excellent service and quality! Competitively priced!
Also good choice of materials and colours.

Rather large Openview blind

I had many questions concerning the blind. How it would fit, how many times it would open and shut on a charge, the choice of fabric. The team responded clearly and answered all my queries. That gave me confidence to proceed with the order.
The team kept me informed of the progress and when I thought I had a problem during installation they contacted me immediately and everything was resolved - no issues with the blind just me having a senior moment.
So far the blind is doing exactly what we wanted and has made the room comfortable and a joy to be in.
If I had any criticism it would be a wish for more detailed instructions - the pictures and video left room for interpretation but if you can build flatpack furniture and are used to DIY, measuring, drilling and have enough people to help lift it in then you will manage.
Thanks Naomi and the rest of the team.

Great product and excellent service

We've now had our blind up on our large kitchen skylight for a month and it is proving to be a real asset. In recent hot, sunny weather the kitchen was cool instead of baking; now, when the nights are drawing in, the closed blind creates a cosy atmosphere. Excellent service from the team at Skylight Blinds, from measuring and ordering help to reminding me about the guarantee. Fitting the blind wasn't easy due to its size, but it was a worthwhile task with a positive result.
