5* Customer Service from Velux and the technical team

I have had an excellent experience with the customer service and support from Velux. Shaun in particular from the technical team was extremely helpful in diagnosing an issue with my blind that I had bought. On his occasion unfortunately the blind was faulty and after trying the fixes he suggested, a replacement blind was ordered quickly (to add this the first time I have had a fault with a Velux product so rest assured that this doesn't happen often from my experience).

I level of detail in the responses I have received from Velux support have been excellent and extremely prompt in trying to rectify the issue.

Superb customer support

I purchased a blackout blind in September 2024 and unfortunately in January 2026 it stopped working. I contacted customer support and was expertly helped via a video call from a very professional advisor. Through his thorough checks he ascertained the blind was no longer working and immediately arranged for a replacement under warranty. Sometimes electrical devices fail but to have excellent customer service to rectify the issue gives you faith in the product and company.

Problem Velux glass replacement

After twenty years a pane of glass failed. I reported this to Velux and they assisted me in identifying a further nine Velux windows that were manufactured with the identical fault code. With absolutely no quibbling they sent technicians who cleanly and efficiently replaced all the supect glazing. A terrific example of a Brand standing behind their product 20 years after installation! Not expected by me and wonderful to experience! Velux are brand leaders for good reason.

Blind brackets or lack of!!

I have received a replacement blind for an older blind. Nothing wrong with that, had to wait a week though, but without any written instructions on the information leaflet, nobody seems to write English guidelines anymore, must think we are illiterate. Anyway not being able to decipher the nice little pictures as to whether the existing fitting brackets will accept the new blind as there was none in the parcel, I rang Velux to be told no there is no brackets sent and the old ones will not do! So i have to wait another week nearly to receive the brackets, one might ask why was this not mentioned when I ordered the new blind?? Or even include them.?I think some one in the sales department or some other common sense person might think that that might be a good idea! to change the system, so beware if you are ordering a new blind.

Issues with Velux Touch

Was having issues setting up Velux touch, but was sorted out so efficiently and helpfully though the Velux chat message.
Mikey was so helpful and waited while going through set up checking it worked and sending images/links.
In the days of AI was refreshing and great to get sorted so easily
Thank you Mikey

Where is my full refund?! Only received partial so far…

Following the two star review below and another lovely call this morning, I have been refunded in full so am very happy customer, thank you! Now amending to four star review - would be five for the product and lovely people on the phone but dropped one star for inconvenience of chasing them up. Def worth it though as now have correct solar blind also from velux which I can’t recommend highly enough :)

Company is easy to contact via phone or email but the refund process is far from straightforward.

Needs to be much easier esp given the price point of the items. I’m still waiting for a full refund for five returned items all in original packaging. All were picked up by Velux returns service, all were in transit back to the warehouse when I checked progress a few days later. So how come I’ve only been refunded for three of the five items? Apparently they got separated but that’s not my fault!

I appreciate it’s a busy time of year and the staff I speak to are always lovely but I shouldn’t have to speak to so many!

Plus I think their products are great.

But I won’t be buying again or recommending until this is sorted out before closing for Xmas!

We had a problem with a broken inner pane of glass in one of our Velux windows some 23 years after 2 Velux windows were fitted

Velux told us ( we didn't know) that there had been a problem with a batch of glass & they replaced, free of charge, the glass in both windows & a blind that had been damaged by the broken glass.

They were very helpful & this was all done very professionally

Poor Customer Service or Care

I regretfully made a purchase on their website. They clearly took my money and sent an email confirming the order. However, the next day I received an email from a Velex representative explaining that an IT issue with their shipping company prevented them from providing a delivery date.

I suggested using an alternative shipper but was told we couldn’t use anyone other than our contracted shipper.

Today, they offered another lame excuse, claiming it wasn’t their problem and that their shipper was trying to fix the IT issue.

If customer service mattered to Velux, why not use a reputable carrier like DPD to fulfil customer orders instead of sticking to outdated procedures when they’re letting customers down?

It’s no wonder Velux has such a poor customer satisfaction score on TP.

Needless to say, I won’t be spending any more money with them. I’d rather use a proper company that cares about its customers even if it costs me more.
