    Excellent ceiling roof blinds

    Posted 04 April

    Designer Blinds have recently fitted some excellent blinds for me, and Alan was so helpful and knowledgeable on the different types of blinds that could work on my glass ceiling roof. He spent time explaining how to use them and look after them, and I would definitely recommend them and would use them in the future.

    Bay window shutters

    Posted 25 March

    I am so impressed with the work that has been carried out today. Alan was so helpful and understanding and willing to try and accommodate all my wishes at the start of this process. He also has done a fantastic job installing my shutters. He is polite friendly and so clean when he works. I will recommend him 100% so much so I have already ordered another shutter.

    Always choose Designer Blinds Direct

    Posted 10 March

    I recommend Designer Blinds Direct because they have fitted various types of blinds for me in the past few years. This month they helped me choose the right blind for a large bedroom window in my son’s house and it is a perfect choice. Alan is always courteous and works efficiently leaving no mess. Highly recommended.

    Blinds and shutters

    Posted 16 August 2025

    We used Alan to do a number of electric roller blinds as well as some shutters in our new house, and we’re so pleased with them! Alan did a great job and he wasn’t in any way pushy for a sale. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan to anybody

    Fitted blinds throughout my flat

    Posted 11 August 2025

    Excellent experience. He went through the quote with me explaining the different options I could have as I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. Kept me informed how long they would take to be manufactured and delivered. Excellent price. Friendly, helpful and informative. Highly recommend Alan. I would use him again for installing blinds.

    black-out shutters and blind

    Posted 28 June 2025

    Alan did a superb job, although a challenge to fit the bay, he mastered all the problems. Could not be happier. I would recommend this company to anyone, communication on everything from initial appointment to the fitting day went smoothly.
