Can anyone recommend any good on-line blind sales sites? Looking for some nice venetian wooden blinds for the lounge.

I use 247 Blinds, but that’s been for rollers

Quidco at 8% and they can do my 4m windows – the last was delivered in 3 days

Blinds2go have been fantastic quality items and quick custom build, usually a couple of days.

What’s wrong with supporting your local trader who will fit them for you as well? That’s what I’ve always done.

Because they cost four times as much…

We used 247 blinds – no complaints. Also helpful when things go wrong (we broke a slat on one of our Venetian blinds).

ever buy bike parts online, cg? 🙂

“Because they cost four times as much… “

bit of an assumption really no?

mines were about half the price of online from my local supplier and fireman, They came with some free smoke alarms 😉

No need to question my choice of supplier just because you may not be capable of fitting some blinds 😉

The wife’s dad was the local blind fitter until he retired. A large proportion of his work came from people who ordered the wrong sized blinds online… 🙂

We recently used these

http://www.wooden-blinds-direct.co.uk/

Cracking service and with a little DIY knowledge they are easy to fit.

Got 3 oak venetian blinds totaling 6M accross all with a 1.75m drop for just short of £300. Thse were for a large window/patio door.

You need to follow he sizing chart to the MM though.

Not an assumption, no. We did an extension 4 years ago and had someone local quote and the price made my eyes water. To this day I think he saw a nice extension on a house with a new TT parked outside and priced to the assumption of us being loaded. Something like £800 for 5 blinds of 1m x 2m.

You could try <info at kalablinds dot co dot uk>, run by an (ex) member of STW. At the very least I’m sure they could point you to a reliable supplier.
