What Happens on a Home Visit?
A home visit usually takes between 20–45 minutes depending on how many rooms you have. It’s relaxed and informal – we’re there to help you, not pressure you.
- We arrive at the agreed time and quickly walk through the rooms you’d like blinds in.
- We measure each window accurately and note any special shapes or recesses.
- We show you fabric books and talk through different options for each room.
- We answer any questions about child safety, cleaning and longevity.
How to Get the Most from Your Visit
These small things can help you decide more easily:
- Think about how bright or dark you like each room at different times of day.
- Have any paint or flooring samples nearby if you want everything to match.
- Consider if you may redecorate soon – we can suggest more neutral options that still look smart.
