Curtains Reviews

I had two blinds fitted by Hilarys. The first had a stain on it and took over two months to replace. The second, the installer fell whilst fitting, marked the wall, chipped both the sink and bath, and punctured the bath. The bathroom suite was brand new, finished only two months earlier. Hilarys would NOT make a visit to view damage. Sent two letters detailing damage caused by fitter, including photographs and copy of bill for repair. Hilarys ignored both, they accept no responsibility. I do not understand how a company can just walk away and ignore damaged caused by them. This company is only out to get your money, they are not interested in what they leave you with.

In total agreement with most of the comments above and really really wish I'd check this site out beforehand :( Long story short - after two failed attempts (not coming when they said they would), the fitter came over, measured up and gave us a quote (already at 50% so they said). Quote was too high, I refused once, they brought the quote ...  Read the complete review

The blinds I have were ok for a year untill one of them broke. It took 3 weeks from the first call and I am still waiting. Apparently they forgot to come and pick it up. The repair takes minimum of 2 weeks and about 2 more weeks with delivery. My blinds are not under the guarantee anymore, so for this terrible service I have to pay as well. I think they should take care about their existing customers as much as about the new ones. And here I see I am not the firs one to have a bad experience with their customer service who really didn't know what they can do with my broken blind.

Hillarys Shutters - as a supplier to them myself I felt good about order from them. The order was placed early December - they banked the cheque late Jan. I lost my phone line for 1 week causing me a loss of business, other accounts were affected too. Their reaction it is my fault! Delivery promised later Jan - now March and hey I might get them ...  Read the complete review

I recieved absolutely appalling service from Hillarys Blinds. Not only did they make a mess of fitting the blinds, TWICE, taking 9 weeks before the blinds were fitted correctly. Then they forgot to invoice me. When I contacted them and requested an invoice, they got it completely wrong. After I contacted them twice more, they eventually ...  Read the complete review

I got a call on the day saying they weren't coming round but they would try and get someone else round. 3 hours later I rang head office and was told he was double booked but he would be round next.

3 hours after that I rang head office again and they now told me that noone was coming round at all, so basically they lied last time.

I'll take my custom elsewhere.

In short I would never use them again. The local advisor got the measurements wrong, a front roller blind was manuafctured the wrong way, the Roman blinds in the conservatory looked like sacks, and were poorly installed. Touching each other, not level, mechanism sticking.... After months of haggle stopped short of sueing them when an ...  Read the complete review

Curtains Why do we have curtains? To stop the neighbours and passers by peeking in the windows, to keep the cold night draughts out, to look good and match our home décor. I recently had to replace an aging pair for a new pair. I read some ones op on curtains and thought there that?s something I can write about. When I moved ...  Read the complete review

As I stood on my chair in our living room, drilling holes into the wall to hang the curtain rail – it crossed my mind how many times I had been through the same process in the 15 or so years since I bought my first house. Why not write something about – I thought as its something most of us will have to go through in our DIY lives ...  Read the complete review

In hot weather I like to open the door into my garden and let the sunshine and fresh air filter through. The trouble is that flies, wasps, midgies and other flying insects take this as open invitation to come inside where its cooler. I was walking through our local Wilkinson's store today and a spotted a 'door ...  Read the complete review

I;ve had and used curtains and nets for years just like my mum,but I felt I wanted a change.I saw loads of adds for blinds free estimates as well so I thought we;ll give it a go. Boy was I glad I did.I live in a flat and I had 5 windows done.If I want to change the colour of my blinds I can just get the slats changed which works out cheaper than ...  Read the complete review

I do not like net curtains very much. They are always fiddly, to put up and down, they often seem to catch on everything and often get snagged. Mor often than not they have very outdated styles and patterns on them, and they look untidy most of the time. But if you don't have them then people can see in and in rooms like ...  Read the complete review

We’ve just had our living room painted, it looks really nice and after buying all the ornaments and bit and pieces, we went over the budget. So, we were left to be inventive and creative shall I say when it came to the curtains. I would have probably ordered some from the catalogue or bought them from the high street. The ...  Read the complete review

Recently I moved into my own place, after years in rented accomodation it was really quite exciting having somewhere that was mine and that I could do with as I pleased. My mum always told me that it was the smaller things that you often don't think about that cost the money and yes as much as I hate to admit it she was right! Curtains were ...  Read the complete review

Dreamy floaty curtains, reams of sunlight flooding through your room. This is what the advertisers promise with their idyllic photos, lit up by gigawatts of unseen floodlights. Nevertheless, hooked by the lure of the idyll promised, I determined to obtain such rooms, complete with curtains. The last thing you need during ...  Read the complete review
