Price of blinds

TaraLara

Just looking for some help.

Got a quote of €850 for 7 blinds today:
Four large roller blinds approx. 190cm/w by 115cm drop,
One small roller blind approx. 40cm/w by 115cm drop,
One wood venetian blind approx. 100/w by 115cm drop,
One Roman blind approx. 115cm/w by 115cm drop.

Just wondering if anybody has any idea if this is a good price, its my first home so very clueless about these things.

Thanks in advance!

I would have thought that was a bit expensive. I'd get another couple of quotes if I were you. I used this crowd and had no problems

Have a look it might give you a better idea of prices

Thanks a million, just had a look and that company is working out a lot cheaper. Really pays to shop around.

Don't be afraid of the ready made trim able ones from Harry Corry, we fitted some (carefully!) last year when we needed new blinds and couldn't afford to get someone in.

Total cost €120 for 3 roller and two Venetian, about three hours careful work, and they really look great:)

Actually never thought of Harry Corry, thats really good value, must have a look. Thanks!

Buy yourself some basic tools (screwdrivers, ruler, tape measure and scissors) at the same time, and you really can get a good quality finish (or rope someone else to fit them for you!)

Cordless screw gun is perfect for fittng rawl plugs,brackets,screws and blinds to a window wall reveal or window frame.


I got 13 large 50mm pecan wood slat blinds for 830 euro last year.

That myblinds.ie website looks quite competitive. Can I ask where you got your blinds Paddy147??
