Storms and chickens

[Luvachicken]

We've bought blinds from a local shop before but they were quite expensive and when the girl came to fit it in our kitchen, she went straight to drill inside the window when the blind was going outside of the window without checking first.

Those Hillary Blinds always look good on TV adverts, but we think they are probably expensive and may be difficult to turn away because you don't like what they offfer.

Just wondered if any of you lovelies have bought from them and would recommend them or not, or someone else instead ?

We have, but years ago, for vertical blinds  Must be at least 20 years ago.  They were expensive but have lasted, not like the Homebase/ Argos ones.

We used them for the primary school during the recent refurbs. They supplied and fitted about 35 blinds of different sizes and materials about 6 months or so ago. Not aware of any probs so far............Apparently they were pretty easy to deal with but I think it may be a franchise so would depend on your local 'agent'. Not sure how much these blinds cost (I'll look up the cost but it will only be a total for all of them and some were massive and some tiny!) They were certainly cheaper than the local fabric shop but then I think Harrod's might be cheaper than the local fabric shop

Hillarys is a franchise company

An old friend of mine had some blinds off them a few years ago. Her local rep was someone we used to work with. She was more than happy with the blinds, workmanship and cost.

Reading online though, reviews are a little up and down so I suspect it's all to do with who uour local rep is.
