She is also well-versed in the benefits of blockout curtains for those who need complete darkness or light-filtering fabrics for spaces where you want to soften natural light without sacrificing privacy.

Hi there Ashley - just a quick note to thank you for getting the blinds up at my house at Arran Road - as you will have gathered I am very pleased with them. I have popped the balance required into your account this morning so hopefully it will show on your bank account today. Many thanks again and thank you for the little blind cleaner. I am sure it will be very useful. Sincerely

I was really please with the fast communication via email, and the fast response time to have someone come to our house for a quote. The quote was super fast and easy and I liked that I was given different options with different prices and the pros and cons of using different materials. We are renovating our whole house and will definitely be using your company to complete each room. Can't wait to see our first set of blinds go up!
