Blinds for Velux Dormer Windows  -  Fitter required

Hi there.I have some Velux dormer windows in my loft conversion for which I have recently purchased the appropriately fitting blinds.  I now need somebody who has had experience of fitting these and who would come and fit two of them for me.Any recommendations from people who have had similar work done would be most welcome, as well of course as the names of anybody to avoid like the plague!Thanks for any tips you can offer.

Nigel/Alex,thanks for your replies.  Sadly a damaged right elbow means that I can't actually put my own specs on let alone undertake even the modest DIY task! Even if I could, the instructions, such as they are, are not written out clearly in English but are instead a series of indecipherable hieroglyphs and pictographs which mean nothing to me.  How anybody can fathom this gibberish is beyond me!So - all recommendations still welcome - a handsome bounty awaits some nimble-fingered Egyptologist with a good screwdriver!

I am the most hopeless DIY-er in the world, but even I managed to fit couple of Velux blinds in our loft without too much bother. Give it a go!

If these are the roller blinds then a DIY job is really, really easy.The instructions look daunting but if you 'dry-fit' them first without clipping anything home then the job should take you no more than 10 minutes per window. There are also online guides on the Velux site.
