Poor unable to get on the phone to discuss and order
This company makes it very difficult to order. Phone numbers don't work, trying to simply call, discuss and order 2 large lantern blinds. The obsession these days for companies to get your phone number and details on record so they can hound you for years to come. With 3 providers im considering this one has lost this sale. This also presents an issue for any after sale support so as a result will be ordering elsewhere and hopefully this makes people think about it.

Hi Max,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're genuinely sorry to hear you felt let down, but we do want to clarify a few things for fairness.
You mentioned having difficulty getting through to us by phone, but as you later admitted, the number you provided was incorrect – which meant we had no way of getting back in touch. Our phone system uses a voice service as the first point of contact, but there are always real humans behind it. If you leave a message or send us a text, we always respond promptly – often the same day, including weekends.
We pride ourselves on offering excellent pre- and post-sale support, and we go out of our way to help, especially with larger, more bespoke orders like lantern roof blinds. It’s a shame we didn’t get the opportunity to assist you properly.
Of course, you’re entitled to share your experience, but as no order was placed and key details weren’t accurate, we feel this review isn’t a fair reflection of the service we provide.
We’re always here if you change your mind and would like our help in future.

Superb units
What an absolute dream these blinds were to install. Company offered fantastic support during pre order stage and helped us pick the perfect solution for our skylights. Fitting was soo simple and as a smaller unit, was a one person job.
Will definitely be using this company again.

Very easy service
Pricey but well worth the money, they were custom made after all, we got the manual honey comb blind for our roof lantern in the outhouse. Very easy to assemble and install. Highly recomend 👍✌️

It was very easy to order with skylight blinds, Naomi was very helpful with my questions as was the chap who rang me to confirm the order. The fittings was very straight forward with helpful guides available throughout. The blind itself is very unobtrusive not detracting from the skylight itself and works really well.

Great blinds at a good price.
We needed three skylight blinds for our extension. Having researched a number of options we went for skylight blinds direct as we liked the wire-free look, they had great reviews, and they were competitively priced.
Ordering process was very straight forward, and the blinds are very easy to fit. We are very pleased with them and would recommend.

I was very pleased with my lantern blind... it looks great and the quality is very good ...the delivery took about 3 weeks. Any questions I had were answered promptly..I had our electrician install it..with the help of my husband as it was a large lantern blind..the price was good for the size and quality. It was the Honeycomb electric blackout blind..I would recommend this company.

We’re so pleased to hear you’re happy with your lantern blind – especially the quality and how great it looks in place. The Honeycomb electric blackout blinds are a popular choice, and it’s great to know it delivered on both performance and style.
It sounds like your electrician and husband made a great team getting it installed – large blinds can be a bit of a handful!
Thanks again for the recommendation – we really appreciate it.

Easy to order
Easy to order, good product, installation clip useful. really pleased with the blind. as a thought installation would be easier if brackets were supplied for the blind to clip into. Naomi was helpful answering query's.

Repeat customer is a happy customer
We had a skylight blind installed in our home office but we didn’t need a blackout. We couldn’t find what we were looking for on the website despite having purchased previously. Naomi was brilliant, found our previous order and told us we needed the translucent. The blind arrived quickly and easily. We were told exactly where and how to add the spacers needed (our opening wasn’t an exact square), and it looks great! Naomi was a life saver and also activated my guarantee which I had completely overlooked. Thank you!

It’s always lovely to hear from a returning customer – and we’re so pleased Naomi was able to step in and help you find exactly what you needed. The translucent option is a great choice when blackout isn’t required, and we’re glad it worked perfectly for your space.

Summer Review
Having reviewed the blinds in the winter we are now seeing the benefits of having them in the summer too! They reduce glare and solar gains very well and I highly recommend.

It’s great to hear your blinds are performing just as well in the summer as they did in the winter. Reducing glare and solar gain makes such a difference to comfort, especially in rooms with lots of natural light.
Really appreciate the recommendation – and we’re so pleased you’re still happy with your blinds all year round!

I had trouble identifying the make and correct size of my skylight window as the makers stickers had all come away. Naomi identified the correct make and size from a couple of photos!

No hesitation in recommending this product
Very pleased with the two honeycomb open view electric blinds we purchased.
We have a very handy brother in law who fitted the blinds for us and found them very straightforward. We had a few queries re measuring and ordering but our queries were answered very quickly by Steve and Naomi. Nothing too much trouble for them.
Excellent service and have no hesitation in recommending the product.

We’re so pleased to hear you’re happy with your honeycomb open view electric blinds – and sounds like your brother-in-law did a great job with the fitting (always handy to have one of those in the family! 😉).

Thanks again for the kind words and the recommendation – it means a lot to the whole team!
