For blind installation at your Gentle Annie property, start with the product and the practical requirements. The measured product, mounting style, substrate and complete operating-safety system must be suitable before installation proceeds. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving supported installation of supplied non-powered blinds and safety components and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Blind Installation
supported installation of supplied non-powered blinds and safety components
Gentle Annie property context
For Gentle Annie enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested blind installation. The measured product, mounting style, substrate and complete operating-safety system must be suitable before installation proceeds. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Gentle Annie quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Service overview
A blind ordered for a recess needs more than a rough outside width. Provide the supplier dimensions and opening measurements, including depth where relevant. Installation should not rely on cutting or adapting an unsuitable product after it arrives.
Corded blinds require their complete safety components and suitable installation following the instructions and applicable requirements. Identify any missing tensioning or retaining parts before booking. A blind with an unsafe or incomplete cord system is not ready for installation.
Once fitted, the blind should be checked for the intended travel and clearances without forcing its mechanism. An incorrectly sized product or supplier fault may need a replacement. Fitting work does not include repairing every internal blind mechanism.
The agreed service covers measured product/bracket compatibility, supported fixing, operation and mandatory cord safety. Exclusions: Electrical motors/wiring, specialist custom manufacture, unsafe/incomplete cord systems, inaccessible work.
Common situations
Keep the supplied brackets, end fittings and labels together. A similar-looking bracket from another system may not retain the blind correctly. Missing or damaged components should be raised with the supplier rather than substituted without compatibility confirmation.
A narrow trim or existing hole does not automatically provide adequate support. Wall construction, bracket loading and safe drilling locations need consideration. Explain known services and restrictions, and avoid removing finishes merely to provide a quotation photograph.
Identify a motorised product before requesting the job. This service is limited to non-powered blinds; wiring, motor connection and electrical changes are excluded. A powered blind should not be described as a standard installation solely because brackets are supplied.
