28 Blinds on one job!!

Sometimes a customer wants just one small Blind and sometimes it’s a bit more! I recently fitted 28 in one house in Torquay. 16 Perfect Fit Pleated and a Vertical in the conservatory, then a combination of Rollers, Verticals and Perfect Fit in the rest of the house. All went…

Wood Venetians – More Options.

I recently added a new manufacturer to my Wood Venetian suppliers. Both my main suppliers manufacture in the British Isles, something I was very keen on. This now gives me a much wider choice of styles and colours in both real wood and faux wood. If you would like a…

Final Move for favourite customer

Some people stay in one house for a lifetime, others are always on the move. One such customer of mine, who I have fitted Blinds for all through about 6 or 7 house now, has said this is her final move? We shall see. Anyway was once again pleased to…

Mixing Colours to stunning effect.

I recently fitted Roman Blinds, in 2 bay windows, for a customer in Paignton. She decided she wanted the middle Blinds to be one colour, with the side ones contrasting, why not? I think it worked really well and the customer was very pleased. If you would like a quote,…

Holiday Park all ready for the season.

What stunning views from Beverley Holiday Park, in Paignton. I recently supplied them with a large number of 25mm Venetians and Roller Blinds, to keep in stock to replace the existing cheaper ones when they expire. I also did some child safety work in a number of the log cabins…

It’s not often we wake up to snow down here in Devon… This winter we had none, but come spring and we had 2 massive hits in a 2 week period. First time snow has ever stopped me working on the English Riviera. Thankfully, all gone now and with summer…

Night off at the Theatre

I recently went to the Princess Theatre, in Torquay, for an evening with Aggers & Tuffers. That is ex England cricketers turned commentators Jonathan Agnew & Phil Tuffnell. It was a very entertaining night with some very funny stories from their careers. Phil Tuffnells description of how he played fast…

Bright colours can make a room

Here is a picture of a lime green Cassette Roller Blind, recently fitted in Whidbourne Avenue, Torquay. It may look quite bright, but with the rest of the kitchen very plain it really set off the window and made a feature of it. Good choice from the customer and she…

Can you combine different blinds?

Sometimes the same type of Blind doesn’t suite all windows in a property. This customer, in Shaldon, wanted Wooden Venetian Blinds, but had 2 large patio door areas leading into the garden. For these it was more practical to fit Vertical Blinds, as they are easier to operate when going…
