I have just had somebody from Hillarys come to measure up and give me a quote on wooden venetian blinds for two 4ft wide windows.
The quote was £622.00!!!
John Lewis supply the same sort of blinds for £55.00 or £75.00 each, depending on the wood. I can fit them myself and save £472.00.
A friend had vertical blinds installed on all the front windows of her 1930's bay-windowed semi for half of the price I was quoted.
Clearly Hillarys are trying to rip me off and I can only assume it is because others have actually considered such crazy pricing to be acceptable.
Anyway, the quote was free and at least I had a laugh but if anybody knows of a reasonably priced company in the Surbiton area I would be glad of their details.
