Why this page exists
You want something that fits the deposit-return brief, survives an average AST, and doesn't invite tenant complaints about heat, glare or privacy.
Portfolio landlords, single-buy-to-let owners and letting agents who want the phone to stop ringing.
In Hale (WA15) that translates into Arts & Crafts villa and Mock-Tudor detached, mostly along the A538 / Ashley Road corridor.
What actually matters — in the order it matters
Every landlords survey we run in Hale 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
The default spec — before we've even seen the house
Across Hale 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.
What it usually costs
Typical spend £400–£900 per property for a 2-bed flat, £900–£1,600 for a 3-bed house. Trade discount kicks in from the fourth property.
Whole-house Hale projects in this bracket usually sit within the £3,500 – £12,000 band. Every figure on our quote is fixed and 90-day valid — no follow-up phone call to "re-cost".
How the survey and fit differ for this brief
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.
Hale survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 20 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J6 — 3 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.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
What's a realistic timeline from first call to fitted in Hale?
Enquiry → within a week survey → 3–6 week manufacture → one fit day. Whole route stays inside 4–8 weeks for most WA15/WA15 jobs.
Why does "child-safety compliance (BS EN 13120)" matter for landlords in Hale?
Priority 1 on every landlords survey. Full brief: child-safety compliance (BS EN 13120) — no exposed cords. In Hale — Bowdon (1 mi), Hale Barns (1 mi), Altrincham corridor — that usually decides which product lands on a Arts & Crafts villa or Mock-Tudor detached quote.
Which style survives tenants best?
Cordless spring-assist roller blinds in a mid-tone fabric are hard to beat for churn — the mechanism is sealed, the fabric wipes clean, and there's nothing for a child to pull down.
What happens if a tenant damages a blind mid-tenancy?
Call us with the property reference and we usually have the same mechanism in stock. Small repairs are often under £60 including a return visit; anything worth replacing is quoted before we start.
