About Us

We are an independent family run business based in our home town of Ayr supplying all types of window furnishing solutions including bespoke plantation shutters, made to measure blinds and curtains. Owned and operated by Greig Strain, we take pride in our reputation, gaining a large proportion of our work from repeat business and Customer referrals. With nearly 20 years experience in the window furnishing market, we have gained the reputation with home owners, interior designers and architects for providing creative solutions through quality products at very competitive prices. We do not have a team of staff with sales targets to meet. Our pricing is honest, fair and very competitive.
     
 
Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Charges: 99%
Before starting work, did the firm explain the charges including labour, materials, callout & VAT (as appropriate)?
 
Timing: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain when the work was expected to start and finish?
 
Payment: 96%
Before starting work, did the firm explain how to pay (e.g. cash, cheque, etc.)?
 
Reliable: 100%
During the work, did the firm keep their promises, explaining and agreeing any changes about the work, costs or timing where necessary?
 
Invoice: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you an invoice showing the cost of materials, labour and VAT?
 
Guarantee: 95%
On completion, did the firm give you a guarantee for a specified amount of time, or usage (where applicable)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Supply and fitting of PVC venetian blind.
Supply and fitting of new curtain pole (stainless steel)
Measure and supply one pair of curtains lined with blackout material and with steel eyelets
 

"I am not the best person for choosing colour and it was marvelous to find a firm that would bring samples to the house where Zoe's professional advice was excellent. She took a lot of trouble with a good number of samples. I had good advice too with regard to the blind which was expertly fitted. The pole was expertly fitted too.
I would thoroughly recommend this company. "

Window poles, and curtains for 3 bedrooms
 

"Excellent personal service. Kept us in the loop regarding the making of the curtains we wanted.
Company owner attended with her pole fitters to ensure all was done correctly. Then came and fitted/hung finished curtains herself. Also gave us, at no extra cost, 4 cushions of the same tartan design as the curtains. Could not fault her. "
