The brief we hear from landlords in Runcorn
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 Runcorn (WA7) that translates into Old Town terrace and 1970s estate semi, mostly along the A557 / A533 corridor.
Landlords priorities, ordered
Every landlords survey we run in Runcorn 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
What we usually specify for a Runcorn landlords project
Across Runcorn 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.
Typical Runcorn spend
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 Runcorn projects in this bracket usually sit within the £1,600 – £3,800 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.
Runcorn survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 15 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J12 — 3 min corridor.
Why us for this brief
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.
