“Great service and great blinds”

Helpful Report

Thanks so much Chris

“I waited a long time before ordering, because I was afraid that, because of a much bigger skylight than on the instruction video, we could not manage the fitting ourselves. However, the wonderful sales team convinced me that it was easy and we did it. We’ve had the blind now for some months and are really happy with it, both in Summer and, now, in autumn. We actually have it permanently closed, which still leaves us with plenty of light.”

Thanks so much we are so glad that you love your roof lantern blind.

“Very helpful when you get in touch. I have just installed our sky pod blind and it’s all working well. It takes a good half a day to install hope we get a few years out of it.”

Hi Eileen you certainly will get many use out of your roof lantern blind our customers tell us they can't live without them.

“All parcels were received on time and as expected. I was surprised to note that the only parts apparently made in the UK were some cut and (poorly) painted aluminium angle pieces. The actual blinds appeared to be manufactured in Dubai. I have no real problem with this, the one we have fitted works ok, although the remote control programming is a bit of a challenge and entirely unnecessary in our case. we just want a simple open and close control. They are not only self install, but also self assemble. not a problem really except that I feel for what you get, the pricing is pushing it somewhat. They should also make it clear that they are not the manufacturers, as they seem to suggest, but just a distributor.”

Hi Michael thanks so much for your feedback. I am so sorry that you thought the quality of the angles was not up to standard I am so sorry about this. This is the first we have heard of this and we could have sent you new angles if we would have known. We do assemble and test the blinds in the factory but it is impossible to send the blinds fully assembled in transit. The blinds are made to measure but flat pack because of transit. We do not manufacture the blinds in house but work with factories all over the UK and abroad exclusively to offer you our specified product for your roof windows at a value for money price cutting out the expense of a blind fitter. With regards to the remote control the blinds are programmed and limits are set in the factory but sometimes things can change during transit and that is why we are here to help you over the phone.

“The service and customer care from start to finish has been amazing. The blind was easy to install and works well.”

“Great service and aftercare in resolving a minor issue which in all honesty was an error in my ordering of the blinds. Be careful of the codes on Keylite blinds, T01C is not the same as 01C. Thank you again Naomi.”

Thanks so much Lucy we are so happy that you are happy !

“I have 3 Velux skylights to which I needed blinds fitting. The price of Velux was about 3 times the amount I paid for these. I was a bit skeptical when I ordered these as they were so cost-effective, and being a 3rd party thought they might not fit as well as the original Velux. However, I was presently surprised. The quality was first-rate and fitted straight into place with no issues. The website made it very easy to choose the right ones and had additional info on fitting to make it all a seamless and pleasant shopping experience. Well done Skylight Blinds. I give this company 5 stars and highly recommend using them and their products.”

“Your blurb said delivery will be in 18 days after order. You are now saying delivery will be made in six weeks. Not impressed, in fact I am becoming suspicious of your company. I have received a request for a review of your products and service and you don’t know you haven’t delivered yet. Capiche?”

Hi Peter We are so sorry about the delay

“Arrived on time and fitting was easier than I thought. The blinds look beautiful and perfect in blocking the sun.”

Thanks so much for your valuable feedback

“Good price, well-made product, and delivered within a short timescale from the UK. This compares to a competitor I first ordered with whose blinds are made in EU. My order with them got stuck in French then UK customs resulting in a full refund after 2 weeks of being stuck. I then ordered from Skylight, and they made and delivered my blind all within a week.”

“Excellent service and easy-to-use website. Clear instructions on how to fit the roof window blind. Delighted with my new purchase.”

“Save yourself time and hassle and order from somewhere else. The samples took almost 3 weeks to be delivered. We then ordered the blind, but it took 10 working days to be delivered. After waiting 10 working days, they delivered the wrong blind! We were told the replacement blind would be dispatched in 3-5 working days. It is now the 6th working day and no dispatch email. From ordering the sample to receiving the correct blind, it will be over 7 weeks!!”

So sorry Carl It looks like we have an error with a code at the back end of the site I am sorry this has caused so much inconvenience.

Thanks so much for your review Phil

“We received our LanternLITE Honeycomb Open-view Blind ordered from Skylight blinds in good order, really well packaged & transported from Dubai. Assembly was fine, following the videos supplied by Skylight. It was tough to get the joints together, but this is a good thing as you don't want it loose! We had a long blind (over 2.2m) so the side runners have a join, therefore it can be a little snaggy over the join (hence 4 stars). WARNING: you must follow the company instructions and measure the RECESS opening, I didn't (I measured where we wanted to place it in the void) and therefore it was a very tight fit (my mistake). After some recess trimming, the blind has fitted well, looks & operates very well (we also have the Somfy Tahoma Switch which links to Amazon Alexa through the app). Note: It did require 3 persons to finally fit, 2 to hold & 1 to screw fix into position. The assistance from Naomi (Skylight POC UK based) was exceptional, helping us through all our queries & my mis-measurement frustrations. I would definitely recommend Skylight blinds. Note: we had other Somfy controlled devices in the house which we have now all connected to Tahoma Switch & Alexa RESULT!”
