A very professional company with high end sleek products. Customer service was fantastic. During the pre-installation stage, Chris came to advise our builders on the requirement while Howard was very competent in the installation stage, keeping everything very tidy. Highly recommended.

We've had a huge 3m + hidden electric blind installed in our dormer window in our loft, it looks great and works very well. The electric blind company have been very flexible with their appointments, always kept me informed and have provided a great service, so much so i've just ordered another fascia mounted electric blind for another room. Highly recommended and all the staff seem great.

Faultless service from start to finish. We had 3 large roller blackout blinds fitted across our 5m bifold doors. We originally wanted electric but had to change to battery and Chris and Gemma sorted out the change for us without any issue. The blinds work perfectly with our doors and are so discreet that friends and family are always surprised when we lower them. They work perfectly - completely block out the sun and are silent in operation. We love the flexibility of which blinds to raise or lower. We thoroughly recommend this company and team - thank you so much Chris and Gemma.

I can't fault this company. We did a large extension project and the installation of the blinds was easily the most efficient part with no issues. The chap that installed them turned up on time, was polite and non smoking. They went through everything with us and we've now had them a few weeks and they really are brilliant.

Very pleased with the service and the quality of the blinds. The battery operated aspect is a real plus as no need for an electrician to be involved in the installation. Lead time was what they said it would be and installation was quick and efficient with friendly staff.

Excellent service from start to finish. Both Chris ( who did site visit) and Phil ( the fitter ) are friendly but efficient with a wealth of experience between them, they know what they are doing! Blinds fit perfectly , were delivered on time and look great. Would highly recommend.

An absolutely first rate experience from start to finish. Chris and the team couldn't have been more professional - from the sending of samples to the fit out of the blinds themselves everything was brilliant. The blinds in our riverside apartment are perfect and we have no hesitation in recommending The Electric Blind Company. Top notch!
