Motorised blinds explained

What are motorised blinds?

Motorised blinds in Bury St Edmunds let you raise, lower and adjust your blinds at the touch of a button. A small motor fitted inside the headrail does the work, so there are no cords to pull and nothing to reach for. You control them with a handheld remote or an app on your phone. With a Wi-Fi hub, you can also use voice control through Alexa, Google Home or other smart speakers.

We motorise roller blinds and vision blinds most often, though other types can be fitted with motors depending on the system. Got a window you can't easily reach? A tall stairwell, a skylight, a conservatory roof, something behind a sofa -- that's where motorised blinds really come into their own.

They're also one of the safest options for homes with young children, because there are no hanging cords or chains. We'll bring samples and a working demonstration to your home so you can see and hear the motors before committing.

Why choose motorised

Why choose our motorised blinds

Effortless daily control

Press a button on the remote or tap your phone. Every blind in the room moves together, smoothly and quietly. Customers who go motorised always say the same thing: "Why didn't we do this sooner?"

Perfect for hard-to-reach windows

We fit a lot of motorised blinds on stairwell windows and conservatory roofs, the kind where you'd normally need a stepladder. A motor takes the hassle out of it completely.

Child-safe by design

There's nothing for small hands to grab or pull. Motorised blinds are one of the safest options for families with young children.

Smart home and voice control

With a Wi-Fi hub, you can control your blinds through Alexa, Google Home or other smart speakers. Open and close them from your phone wherever you are.

Battery or mains-powered

Battery motors need no wiring and last about two years on a single charge. Mains-powered motors suit new builds where permanent power is available.

Quiet and discreet

Modern blind motors are almost silent. The mechanism sits inside a standard headrail, so the blind looks no different from a manual one.

Questions

Common questions about motorised blinds

How much do motorised blinds cost?

It depends on the window size, blind type and motor system. We give you a firm price during the free home survey, so you know exactly what you are paying before anything is ordered.

Are motorised blinds battery-powered or mains-powered?

Both options are available. Battery motors are straightforward to retrofit with no wiring needed. The batteries typically last around two years with normal use. Mains-powered motors are a good fit for new builds or renovations, though an electrician will need to sign them off.

Can I control motorised blinds from my phone?

Yes. With a Wi-Fi hub, you can open and close your blinds from your phone or tablet, wherever you are. You can also use voice control through Alexa, Google Home or other smart speakers.

Are motorised blinds child-safe?

They are one of the safest options available. There are no hanging cords or chains, which eliminates the biggest risk associated with traditional blinds. If child safety is a priority, motorised is worth considering.

Which types of blind can be motorised?

Roller blinds and vision blinds are the most popular choices for motorisation. Other types can also be fitted with motors depending on the system. We'll talk you through the options during your survey.

What warranty do motorised blinds come with?

The motors, remotes and accessories are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, which is typically one to two years. On top of that, our own fitting work is covered by a 12-month installation guarantee.

How noisy are motorised blinds?

Modern blind motors are almost silent. You will hear a quiet hum when the blind moves, but nothing that would disturb conversation or sleep. The mechanisms are hidden inside a standard headrail, so they look no different from a regular blind.
