How do you shorten the drop (length, not width) if it's too long?
I don't know how to take my blinds off. HELP ME!!!!!!
How to attach string
nice job
At the end was the blind on back to front? Or do other people put the picture side facing out?
But do they block heat?
Great insight and value
Thank you
So how much of a gap did you leave either side to ensure the blind moved up and down freely?
good job
My top tip is how ever much you cut of the tube cut the same amount of the fabric you always end up with the factory clearance but I do wish the manufacturer would make the weight road more heavier
SIMPLY beautiful!
I drilled in to the brick at the top of the recess
What if your marking a black blind that is black both sides?????

Wow that’s some set of scissors
Thanks easier than i thought. Living in a caravan on my own, can i do this same thing to a night shade colour cream the windows here are odd and will have to try a larger measurement blind thanks for any suggestions as they are not cheap here unless i go on special or second hand 90 centimeters needs to go down to 66 centimeters can this happen like you did
You showed all the easy stuff. What about the measurements? As you cut your blind before hanging the brackets, what was the distance difference between your blind width and the space between your brackets? My b&Q instructions say there's to be a difference of 2.4cm between blind width and the space between 'marks' on the backets. What marks? Is the blind to be 2.4cm larger or smaller?
This presumed the window frame / wall are true. I saw no use of a spirit level to ensure correct blind fall, and as others saw.. you could have shown it working!
That was really useful. Thank you.
Very useful Video..thank u!!
Ur gadgets are ossm bro
Thank you.
You didn't show how to measure before cutting!!!
Really helped, thx u lady and gentleman I will pay the Shades
This is somewhat useful but my issue is the cord came out and I can’t seem to place it back in for it to start rolling I did it one time and for some reason I keep trying and it’s not working.
Thank you

after all that . you could have shown how it works
Hi I was just wondering how would you pull the blind back up of you have pulled the blind fully down and it won't roll back up?
Mine doesn't go up automatically.. How can I fix it?
how do you take it back down?
OK video – but more detail could of been shown how to measure the recess including the fixings, and the brackets – it's not just a case of measuring the size of window, and cutting the blind down – as the brackets/end fittings would then make it too long.. Also worth mentioning to measure the depth of your handles! – it you fitted a blind that way to a modern plastic double glazed window the blind would hit the handles!
How do I fit a roller blind to a upvc kitchen window, it is not fitted into a wooden surround and the inner part of the window is only plaster board ( dry lining. )
Hi I need a blind with the length on 140 cm. Is they blinds that length in your store?
Can I hang a roller blind up and curtains at the same time?
Pretty good video, but for me not enough information is given, e.g. how much of a gap needs to be left on either end to ensure brackets fit a recess?? This is the same with the actual blind from B&Q. More "written" info is given on warnings and safety, than how to actually hang the blind! If you want to attract the DIYers, than you should give much more written advice on the 'how to's' and not just provide illustarations, which to even a pretty experienced guy like me are confusing!
Brilliant
Should blackout blinds be fitted inside the recess or outside for the most light blockout? Thanks
Whats a "piolot hole" ? :-/ Please excuse my ignorance
Fun Fact: Roller blinds are also known as Holland blinds. We love the way these blinds provide just the right amount of ventilation, light and class to go with the rest of the décor in the house. Curtains simply didn’t make the cut and the quality of Roller blinds available today is plain fabulous!
great stuff . After decorating living room (which I admit took a fair few years to start lol) i still have no blinds up as left that one little job for to the person blaming me for the time scale on decorating (girlfriend) . Well now who is a lazy pants HA HA .. I just been given some brand new sunburnt orange blinds and this is what i would of personnaly bought as gone for autumn themed colors with rustic browns and wood . Sods law I lent my hack saw to a mate that never returned it . So now one tool short . I will go inside I think as to try and cut out any drafts from my windows . Will a tighter fit help exclude drafts . Also my radiators are right under my windows (never understood that one) and if I keep blinds tooked away I wont loose heat up the backs like i might if i hang off the wall itself
