### Blinds That Actually Work
New blind still in the box? **Don't risk a wonky installation** that catches, sticks, or looks obviously DIY. Proper fitting takes 30 minutes and makes the difference between "looks alright" and "works perfectly".
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cheap blinds fitted well look better than expensive blinds fitted badly. The installation matters more than most people think.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Doing multiple rooms?** Book all your blinds in one visit - much quicker and cheaper than separate callouts. I bring everything needed and work through the house efficiently. **Child safety matters.** If you have young kids, consider cordless blinds or make sure cords are properly secured out of reach. Blind cord strangulation is a real risk - I take it seriously and will advise on safe options. **Old house with wonky windows?** Welcome to Exeter! Lots of period properties have windows that aren't square or level. Sometimes face-mounting on the wall works better than fighting with a crooked recess.
Frequently Asked Questions about Blind fitting in Ottery St Mary
What types of blind can you fit?
All the common types - roller blinds, venetian (horizontal slat), vertical blinds, roman blinds, pleated blinds. Each type fits slightly differently, but I've done them all many times. Just let me know what you've bought.
Should I fit the blind in the recess or on the wall?
Recess fitting looks neater and keeps the blind close to the glass. Wall mounting is easier if your recess isn't square or if you want to cover the whole window frame. I can advise when I see your window - send photos if you're not sure.
Do I need to buy the blind first?
Yes - measure your window and buy the right size blind, then I'll fit it properly. If you're unsure about sizing (recess vs wall mount, exact measurements), send me photos and I can help you order the right thing.
Can you fit blinds with cords safely for kids?
Blind cords are a strangulation hazard for young children - it's taken seriously. I'll fit any blind so cords are out of reach, use cleats to keep them tidy, or recommend cordless alternatives for kids' rooms. Safety first.
What if my window isn't square?
Most windows in older Ottery St Mary houses aren't perfectly square! That's fine - blinds have some adjustment. For really wonky windows, face-mounting on the wall works better than trying to fit in a crooked recess.
