What we usually specify for a Brooklands landlords project
Across Brooklands landlords projects, the short list is short on purpose:
- Spring-assist cordless roller blinds — child-safe by design
- PVC-faced wooden Venetians — clean with a damp cloth between tenants
- Blackout roller in tenant-neutral colours (stone, slate, mushroom)
- Waterproof ABS shutters for bathrooms with poor extract
The final pick depends on the room, the light and the openings — decided on the survey, not by a call-centre.
The five things landlords always ask about
Every landlords survey we run in Brooklands lands on the same short list:
- Child-safety compliance (BS EN 13120) — no exposed cords
- Tough fabric or slat that survives a two-year AST cycle
- Spare parts stocked so a broken chain doesn't mean a full replacement
- Invoice addressed to the letting entity, not the tenant
- One team across a mixed portfolio — same spec, same paperwork
Our process — adjusted for landlords
We survey with your inventory clerk if you want — every measurement photographed and filed by property reference, and re-fits during void periods are prioritised so nothing sits on a spare-key run.
Brooklands survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 28 min from stockton heath, on the M60 J7 — 6 min corridor.
The credibility bit
We hold spare mechanisms, chains and end-caps in the workshop for the systems we most often specify to landlord clients — so a snapped chain during a tenancy is fixed inside a week, not a fortnight.
The single biggest cause of landlord blind call-outs is the pull-cord — every product we specify for BTL is cordless or breakaway by design.
