Bob the Blindman Blog

We at Bob The Blindman pride ourselves on our commitment to providing the best value blinds money can buy both online and via our full choose at home service. Not only do we supply the best quality blinds we also supply the safest.

This morning i read on the Daily Mirror website that tragically another toddler was found tangled in roller blind cords and unfortunately lost his life. 8 children a year die  in similar circumstances and that is 8 too many.

Since 2006 we have supplied child safety clips on request and since 2010 we have fitted them on every blind unless instructed by the customer NOT to fit them.

On our website we supply them at cost and send the proceeds to the NSPCC  so we are fully committed to making every blind safe. If you are a parent of young children and you have blinds with looped cords or long control cords please consider the small price these clips are for complete peace of mind.

If you need any advice about blinds and cord safety please call us on 0800 7837001 we are always willing to give you honest advice.

Finally heres a special offer for those who read my blog send me an email to bobtheblindman@btconnect.com with the words “looped cords made safe” and include your name and address and I will send you a FREE safety device. This offer is open to anyone in the UK who reads my blog, is following me on twitter or is  just stumbling about the internet looking for a nice window blind company to do business with.

Thanks for reading

And finally my heartfelt condolences to the parents of Caden Lane as a father of three boys my heart goes out to you. Bob Walker

In window blinds fashions come and go, but one fashion that has been around since the dawn of time is to block light with blinds. Our range of Blackout Roller Blinds have been flying out and the reason is not hard to understand. The early morning sun is a welcome sight for a farmer or dog walker like me but not so much of a welcome sight for babies or small children sleeping peacefully or not in the nursery.

During the summer months we see a marked increase in demand for our range of stunning blackout blinds so if you are a light sleeper, a parent of a new baby, a night shift worker or maybe a teenager who doesnt want to get up too early then check out the new colours in our range of blackout blinds.

Blackout blinds dont have to be boring and cream, why not use a bold red or funky patterned pink to brighten up your day …………….but not too early!
