Excellent communication and quality blinds
I ordered 3 velux window blinds for my property. I was really impressed with the quality and they were so easy to install.
The blinds arrived within 4 days of placing my order. I did notice that 1 blind had been damaged prior to being packaged up. I contacted the company to report this. Naomi responded the same day and arranged for a replacement to be sent out hassle free.
I would definitely recommend this company.

We’re delighted you were impressed with the quality of your Velux blinds and found them easy to install – that’s exactly what we like to hear!
Sorry again about the damaged blind, but we’re glad Naomi was able to get it sorted quickly and without any fuss.
Thanks for recommending us – it means a lot!
Effective but flies get trapped inside
We purchased a large white anti glare thermal honeycomb remotely controlled blind for our garden room roof window. The fitting was relatively easy. Bit fiddly when you have such a large blind to handle, the instructions are simple. Once up we liked how it looked and love how efficient the honeycomb design is for keeping the heat out during the summer months. We haven’t tested for keeping the heat in during the winter months yet.
What we have found is due to the design of the honeycomb the flies have no problem crawling in under it and then annoyingly crawling inside the actual blind. They then get stuck and we have been recommended that the only way to remove them is we to take the blind completely down and try to ‘tweezer them out’! This will be extremely difficult due to the size and flimsiness of the material. As we chose white we can now see lots of flies lying inside which I really dislike. I would suggest choosing a darker colour to avoid this. This is a huge disappointment for us

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear that you were happy with the look, ease of fitting, and performance of the blind in keeping the heat out – especially with such a large installation! 😊 The honeycomb design is definitely great for temperature control, and we hope it proves just as effective come winter.
We’re really sorry to hear about the issue with flies getting trapped inside the fabric. Unfortunately, with light colours and pleated materials like honeycomb, insects can occasionally find their way in – and we completely understand how frustrating that must be. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps us guide future customers and also feed this back to our product team.
If there’s anything else we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’re always happy to support however we can.

Thanks so much for your brilliant review! 😊
We’re thrilled to hear the blind was a perfect fit first time – especially for a skylight on your barge (how cool is that!). Great to know it looks the part and works like a dream too.
Sounds like the solar motorised version might be calling your name for next time 😉 – we’ll be here if you ever fancy the upgrade!
Lantern Roof Motorised Blind
I have been searching for a blind for my skylight for sometime. It is a large opening and I couldn’t find what I needed until I found skylight blinds direct.
The product was custom made came within the timescales quoted. It was well packaged and came undamaged.
The video fitting instructions were really helpful during the fitting process, as was the troubleshooting help!
The blind fits in the space perfectly and is well engineered, the honeycomb blind material is excellent at keeping the heat we have been experiencing out and we are completely chuffed with it.
In summary this is a well made blind that is as described and I feel the process is extremely competitive.

We’re so glad you found us after your search – it’s great to hear that the custom-made lantern roof blind ticked all the boxes for your large skylight.
It’s brilliant that the video fitting guide and troubleshooting support helped during installation, and even better to know you’re chuffed with the final result! The honeycomb fabric really does make a difference in hot weather, and we’re delighted it’s doing the job for you.
Thanks again for choosing us – and for the lovely feedback!
Super effective and easy to fit.
I bought and fitted a manual honeycomb blind for our roof lantern. It has proved to be super effective in reducing the solar radiation and hence the temperature in the room. It was very easy to install, it fitted perfectly and I didn't even have to tension the blind as this had already been done in the factory. I had a few queries prior to purchase and the agents I spoke to were both helpful and knowledgeable. The blind was promptly delivered in about 3 weeks. I would definitely buy from Skylight Blinds-direct again should I have the need, and would thoroughly recommend them to others.

Amazing service and Quality
From start to finish the customer service was excellent. The blind arrived well packaged and perfect. Videos were very helpful and when I needed support during installation the team were there at the weekend to offer advice and support. The product is quality and it is a joy to watch it in operation. I would recommend Skylight Blinds without reservation.

Poor unable to get on the phone to discuss and order
This company makes it very difficult to order. Phone numbers don't work, trying to simply call, discuss and order 2 large lantern blinds. The obsession these days for companies to get your phone number and details on record so they can hound you for years to come. With 3 providers im considering this one has lost this sale. This also presents an issue for any after sale support so as a result will be ordering elsewhere and hopefully this makes people think about it.

Hi Max,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're genuinely sorry to hear you felt let down, but we do want to clarify a few things for fairness.
You mentioned having difficulty getting through to us by phone, but as you later admitted, the number you provided was incorrect – which meant we had no way of getting back in touch. Our phone system uses a voice service as the first point of contact, but there are always real humans behind it. If you leave a message or send us a text, we always respond promptly – often the same day, including weekends.
We pride ourselves on offering excellent pre- and post-sale support, and we go out of our way to help, especially with larger, more bespoke orders like lantern roof blinds. It’s a shame we didn’t get the opportunity to assist you properly.
Of course, you’re entitled to share your experience, but as no order was placed and key details weren’t accurate, we feel this review isn’t a fair reflection of the service we provide.
We’re always here if you change your mind and would like our help in future.

Superb units
What an absolute dream these blinds were to install. Company offered fantastic support during pre order stage and helped us pick the perfect solution for our skylights. Fitting was soo simple and as a smaller unit, was a one person job.
Will definitely be using this company again.

It was very easy to order with skylight blinds, Naomi was very helpful with my questions as was the chap who rang me to confirm the order. The fittings was very straight forward with helpful guides available throughout. The blind itself is very unobtrusive not detracting from the skylight itself and works really well.

Great blinds at a good price.
We needed three skylight blinds for our extension. Having researched a number of options we went for skylight blinds direct as we liked the wire-free look, they had great reviews, and they were competitively priced.
Ordering process was very straight forward, and the blinds are very easy to fit. We are very pleased with them and would recommend.

I was very pleased with my lantern blind... it looks great and the quality is very good ...the delivery took about 3 weeks. Any questions I had were answered promptly..I had our electrician install it..with the help of my husband as it was a large lantern blind..the price was good for the size and quality. It was the Honeycomb electric blackout blind..I would recommend this company.

We’re so pleased to hear you’re happy with your lantern blind – especially the quality and how great it looks in place. The Honeycomb electric blackout blinds are a popular choice, and it’s great to know it delivered on both performance and style.
It sounds like your electrician and husband made a great team getting it installed – large blinds can be a bit of a handful!
Thanks again for the recommendation – we really appreciate it.

Repeat customer is a happy customer
We had a skylight blind installed in our home office but we didn’t need a blackout. We couldn’t find what we were looking for on the website despite having purchased previously. Naomi was brilliant, found our previous order and told us we needed the translucent. The blind arrived quickly and easily. We were told exactly where and how to add the spacers needed (our opening wasn’t an exact square), and it looks great! Naomi was a life saver and also activated my guarantee which I had completely overlooked. Thank you!
