MDM blinds, based in Knebworth seem to offer a comprehensive service, with having a showroom and a measure at home service. They cover Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hitchin and Letchworth. Whilst they are a local family run business the corporate side also covers London.

So what makes a good blind supplier? We believe it comes down to service at the end of the day, and when setting up the business this has been considered at every step of the way with MDM Blinds.

First of all a blind or awning supplier in Hertfordshire should offer no obligation appointments in your home or office. They should provide a showroom as well so you can actually see some blinds or awnings in operation if you so desire.

Secondly, they should carry more than one sample book for each product. Many blind companies in Stevenage in particular only carry the one book for each type of blind (vertical, roller, venetian etc). MDM strongly believe in being able to cover any window, with any style of blinds at any budget.

Thirdly they should have a quick turnaround time. Two to three weeks is acceptable for most blinds, whereas Romans and awnings can take around 4 weeks. Bear in mind all of these products are made to measure.

Fourthly make sure there is a good after sales service. At the very least there should be a guarantee but this is worthless if the company won't come out to visit you in the event of a claim.
