Hilarys Blinds - Any good?

[THE AMATUER]

Anyone used Hillarys Blinds before? Thinking of getting them round to quote but been told they are really expensive. Can anyone shed light on their prices, quality etc...?

[jamiesdad]

Looked into getting hilarys blinds a few years ago sorry cant remember actual pricing but yes they were pricey

I was informed by those that had bought them that they are of good quality

I went to a local shop and got then a lot cheaper (but then i am a tight git

Cheers

Where are you based ?
My wife does custom blinds - but she had enough work from local clients so only serves south Manchester and Cheshire.

It's a franchise isn't it? So "service" may be variable. I have Hilary's blinds and TBH for the money they are fine; no complaints.

I bought 4 blinds 15 years ago and they are still in great condition, so I'm happy with them

No idea on what they're like, but if you're thinking of getting them round for a quote anyway, you may aswell book it through quidco and get £20 cashback just for them coming round and quoting you a price!

Hi there, I have used them just recently, really good service and my blinds look fab! I had a wooden slat blind in my living room and three verticals in the dining room. All in all it was just over £250 which I was pleased with. the guy that came round was really helpful too. hope this helps!

Are the made to measure straight blinds, i.e. in a "regular" window recess? Or are they odd shapes like a riangular roof bling for a connie?

If they are regular shapes but made to measure use webblinds.co.uk (I think - do some seatches).

You measure your window, decide if you want recess etc, search online, choose you style, colour, they post to you, cut to size and you can even choose delivery day, and they almost always have an offer on - and the best bit - they are owned by Hillary's so you are getting the same product for less!!!

We have ordered about three times in the past and have been really impressed, no errors, always fit, work well, and deliver on time.

The only issue is fitting buts it easy even for a nonDIYer like me

I brought some blinds from the Blind Supermarket (aka Hilarys blinds), was really impressed with the fast service.
They arrived - but they were the wrong colour. They were meant to be black on white, but they were grey. I explained that the goods should be as described, and despite this being the law of the land, was told that I should have read the terms and conditions, (apparently all 16 of them) as it clearly states that they blinds shown may not represent the actual blinds in 6.1.
Think twice before purchasing from Hilarys Blinds or the Blind Supermarket, or web blinds - unless you have time to read all 16 terms and conditions. You would think they would try a bit harder to make sure they provide customers with what they ordered, rather than happily say ' you should have...'Yes i should have gone elsewhere. So wouldnt waste your time or money

Have used them at home and at the office. They bring samples so you know what you are getting (you don't have to order online).
Have been very happy with them.

We got the front half of our place done by Hillary's last year.

Prices were ok (not the cheapest - but you get what you pay for), service was brilliant, blinds are great as well - every single blind was custom made to fit.

There may be cheaper options out there, but I would have no hesitation recommending them.

My missus has just booked them in April for the back half. I dread to think how much the big bay windows will cost, the end result will be worth it though.

Hillarys installed our lounge blinds about 5 years ago and they are as good today as they were when they were installed. About 2m wide at the cost of £300. Thought it was a bit expensive at the time but they have stood the test of time and are of great quality.

i think i got my faber blinds from hilarys at house of fraser a few years back - good stuff, but can be a pain to clean
