Roller Blinds
Roller blinds feature a metal tube at the top of the window with fabric that rolls up and down. They offer a wide range of colours, designs, and fabrics to suit any interior. Ideal for precise light control and privacy, these blinds are durable and easy to operate. Our team ensures precise measurements and seamless installation for optimal functionality.

Vision (Zebra) blinds combine two layers of fabric with alternating transparent and coloured stripes. Adjusting the alignment allows controlled light entry or complete privacy. These modern blinds are perfect for contemporary spaces. We provide expert fitting to ensure smooth operation and long-term performance.

Another phone call, dispute as to if they still had my credit card details lying around or not.

What an excellent name Vikings General Store has. It immediately makes me like this place. What's more, this is one of those shops that is full of things that seem really useful. Everyone love's useful things!
We're talking plastic tubs, bins, step ladders, baskets, wellies and rakes. I.e., all incredibly useful.
There's a minimum of fuss at Vikings General Store. Friendly service and useful stock.
