Common situations
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.
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.
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.
