Choice 2: Measuring measurements
There are many guides on the internet for measuring your window frames for blinds. Still in doubt about the right measurements? Then call in an awning specialist. It would be a shame if your Venetian blind were to arrive later and the measurements turned out to be wrong. The average price for having the measurements for your blinds taken is between £30 and £100.
Choice 3: Assemble or outsource your blinds yourself
Any blinds come with installation instructions so you can do it yourself. This is usually easy to do with indoor blinds, but can be more difficult with outdoor blinds. In that case, call in a blinds specialist. Outdoor blinds are heavier and certainly with electrical wiring more difficult to install. The mounting costs usually vary from £ 100 to £ 300 depending on the type of blinds and the degree of difficulty of the installation
Choice 4: Delivery or collection
If you choose to have your blinds installed by a specialist, he will often take your blinds with him. Most providers charge an average call-out fee of £30 to £50, depending on the distance.
