Hello guys,

Re: per width charge

Give them a call as a prospective customer & ask for a quotes for all the different options (headings, handmade, machine made, etc) Have one of their fabrics in mind so you know the £/m. Get them to confirm how much fabric you'll need, how much lining, etc. Then you can deduct the fabric & lining costs from what they quote & you can work out the price for making up. Make sure you don't sound too knowlegable and they're usually really helpful!

Hi,
I decided to take a trip down to high street ken, Petre Jones, luckily a friend that I used to work with at Roman Blind work shop was working there so she gave me prices on every scenario so that was a good day

Maybe you if you're going to share Gerry, you could put the info in the private members networking area so it isn't open to all.

Re: per width charge

Just out of interest, tricia tucker roman blinds charge £150 for the same size, fabric and lining extra, and romansdirect, picking at random a fabric, charge £180.92. Don't know what the finish is like though. The TT site is handy as you can just pop in your measurements and it gives a quote. Helps compare with ones own prices??????????
Don't know about curtains.

Re: per width charge

the curtain shack is another useful website for comparing your prices against http://www.curtainshack.co.uk/priceacurtain.php

They do curtains, blinds, cushions, pelmets, tiebacks and fabric by the metre.
