Chiltern Mills Trapped Stock Sale – STARTS 26th April 2024
In Celebration of Neil’s 50th birthday we are having a trapped stock sale.
Before their demise, The Blind Factory manufactured some of the Chiltern Mills Vertical range.
Therefore, all Ex Chiltern Mills “stocked” fabrics will be a genuine 15% cheaper than our standard list prices*. This includes supply only and fitted blinds, wand only or cord and chain operation; or you can have just louvres/slats only.
Both VALUE and VIP ranges will be available
Did you know that as standard, all our louvres/slats come with hangers, weights and stabilising chain installed, but you can also have chainless weights at no extra cost? We also do sewn or welded in weights (fabric dependent) too – Great for if you have pets or still want to put possessions on window sills.
Email, Call or WhatsApp (07967 340858) your sizes and we’ll give you a price – QUOTE “Chiltern Mills” then we know which blinds you are wanting pricing for.
If you want to have a look at the fabrics, let us know before you come and we can make sure that there’s space for you at the unit.
* = The prices will last until the end of this year, or until the Chiltern Mills stock is depleted.
Cheers!!
So, you’re looking for blinds?
It’s really easy, just let us have your measurements (via web/email/phone) and the type of blind you are looking for.
We need the width x drop sizes in inches, cm’s or mm’s. They don’t have to be spot on, but the closer you can be, the closer the estimate will be.
Tell us if you’d like the blinds to be fitted by us, or if you can do it yourself, this will save you a few pennies. But with supply only, this means the blinds are ordered from your sizes.
The reason we ask this of you is that we cannot physically get to every enquiry and measure. It has worked well in the past for us and gives you an idea as to whether we are within your price expectations.
Looking for inspiration?

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Welcome to 2023
Happy New Year! WE ARE OPEN!!!
Whilst Emma is recovering following her ankle operation and Neil is out and about, if you wish to come to the shop to view the samples, this currently will need to be by appointment only as we do not have full coverage just yet.
As per usual, if you are looking for a price, please call (perhaps leave a message) or email your width x drop sizes and we can give you an idea of cost by return.
We hope to be back to full operating capacity as soon as is reasonably possible but would like to thank you for your patience in the meantime.
Best wishes
Blind Factory Leeds
Shop Closed for Christmas
Unfortunately, due to medical emergency, the shop will be closed to the public from 19th December until at least mid January 2023.
Emma slipped on the ice last Friday and broke her ankle. She had an operation to pin and plate the bones on Sunday (which was successful) though will need several weeks of recovery before returning to the shop. Emma anticipates to work from home, when we re-open on 9th January but only to take telephone enquiries, payments and make appointments.
We’d like to thank all of our customers throughout this year a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Best wishes
Neil, Emma, Brian & Anne
Pre Christmas Orders
Unfortunately, due to demand we are unable to accept any further orders for pre Christmas installation for all products, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SUPPLY ONLY VERTICAL BLINDS. We can continue to manufacture these until 16th December.
Please accept our apologies, but we are currently inundated with orders and will be working right up until the Christmas week.
We can take orders for fitting in the New Year although measures are of limited availability before Christmas.
We would like to thank all of our customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Best wishes

We’re having a few days off
Hi all
As we haven’t been able to take any time off with the kids this year, we have decided to take 18th, 19th, 20th & 27th August as holiday. Please accept my apologies if this coincides with your blinds fitting but I will get them done as soon as we return. It would be nice to take a full week off, but the demands of the business won’t allow for this.
Thanks for your understanding
Best wishes
Neil & Emma
Business Update
Hi Folks
Thanks to everyone for their support over the past few months with everything to do with the pandemic; lets hope we are getting to the end of it!
We are open to the public at the unit, but ask that you can book an appointment with Emma on 0113 262 6660 and she will look to see when is best to accommodate you.
Currently, we would prefer it if you would wear a mask whilst in the unit as it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Whilst it pains me to do this, we have had to increase the lead times on all blinds. When we used to be able to measure, order and fit in 2 weeks, it is not longer on most products. Verticals are least at 3 weeks, most roller products are 4 weeks and wood/faux venetians are 4-5 weeks. Our suppliers aren’t coping well with continued social distancing at work & also the increased orders put through them as people are spending their holiday monies on their homes instead. Hopefully, this increased lead time won’t continue for too long.
One final thing is that Velux have suspended ordering for Electric and Solar operated blinds until at lease the end of the year due to the worldwide semi-conductor shortage.
Thanks again for your time
Neil & Emma (29th July)
Following Spring Bank Holiday
Hi Folks
Just to let you know that we will be closed for the 4 days after the Bank Holiday (31st May) and will reopen on Monday 7th June. We haven’t had any time off, except for a week at Christmas since May last year. We haven’t been able to do anything at all with the kids and whilst they are off from school, we are taking the opportunity.
Also, I’m going into hospital that week for a small operation and will not be able to fit any blinds until at least the 18th June, please accept my apologies if your order is held up by a few days but I only found out on Tuesday 18th May about the date of the procedure.
Emma will be in work again from the 7th June for enquiries and booked appointments and depending how I feel, I might be able to do some measures in that week also, but it depends on how quickly I heal.
In the week after the Bank Holiday we will not be available via email, phone or in person.
Thanks for your continued support
Neil & Emma (21st May)
Operational Update – Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Hi Everybody
We are operating as normal, but we are only allowing customers come in to the unit with a pre booked appointment. We ask that you can wear a facemask whilst in the unit – that would be appreciated.
If you would like us to quote for your blinds, please call or email with width x drop sizes and an idea of the type of blinds you are wanting a price for, we can do the rest.
If you wish to proceed with an order, we can still measure and fit as before, but ask that only 1 other person (as well as ourselves) be in a room in your home/office space to reduce any potential spread and again, to adhere to the guidelines/rules.
We will wear a face covering and protective overshoes as before and ask you to use our provided alcohol gel, before touching any of the samples when on your premises.
Keep well & best wishes
Neil & Emma
*** Please be aware that the current minimum lead time from ordering, for supply and fit is 3 weeks – Verticals only. Other products are between 3, 4, 5 & 6 weeks ***
Welcome to 2021
It was great to have 10 days off, at home with the kids (to a point) and have some down time too. The same as everyone else, we were severely restricted in what we could do but it was a welcome break.
Emma and myself are back in work now and open for customers who would like to come and view the fabrics we have, but as before please call Emma (on the above number) to book an appointment as we need time between appointments to clean the viewing surfaces accordingly. A mask must be worn whilst in the unit at all times.
As always, if you can let us have some width x drop measurements for the blinds you require, we can give you an estimate far easier.
Please call before coming to see us as:
- You can make sure we are in
- There is no crossover with a booked appointment
- You aren’t wasting your fuel & time if we are out
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Neil & Emma

There’s no need to change the lot
Why not just change the louvres?
Either take one down and measure the fabric length in “mm” and count the quantity you need, or bring it into us and we will measure it for you.
We have thousands of metres of material in stock and there are hundreds of samples to see.
Our louvres are machine cut & sewn (by hand) and NOT GLUED, so there is no chance of them coming apart in the sun.
Our prices start at £2.00 per louvre incl. VAT and you get hangers, louvres weights and chain included in this price too.
Please call us for a price or come down to see the samples – there will be someone in Mon-Fri, 9am-2pm (but please call in advance to check that we will be here).
We hope to see you soon
Cheers
Neil & Emma
It doesn’t need to all be changed…
As the saying goes “Out with the old and in with the new”. It doesn’t need to be that way all of the time.
Are your verticals looking a bit shabby, dirty or unloved after years of hard work, hanging around and looking pretty?
Why not just change the louvres? If the tracks are alright, save a few pounds and give a room that new look you’ve been thinking of without the cost of a full blind.
To save even more, you could bring one of your louvres into us, we’ll measure it and give you a price from the hundreds of fabrics available and let you know when they will be ready to collect. Job done!
Did you know?
- We measure, manufacture and install.
- We do our own fitting, rather than contracting anyone else to do the work. We believe that if Neil has measured, then Neil will fit the blinds.
- We also provide our blinds as SUPPLY ONLY. So, if you want to save a few quid and feel up to the task, why not have a go!
- For fitted blinds, our standard lead time is 2 weeks from ordering to fitting, but this can extend slightly at this time of year.
- We don’t only do Verticals, Venetians & Rollers. There isn’t anything blind related which we do not do. Motorised Roller blinds are a great way to eliminate the bead chains
- However, we don’t fit blinds supplied from others. We can only guarantee our own stuff – which is 12 months by the way – but we are only a phone call or email away.
Merry Christmas to one and all
Many thanks to all of our customers this year for your support when choosing your blinds from The Blind Factory. We are now closed for our Christmas break and will reopen on 4th January 2021 at 9am. During this time. we will be unable to answer any enquiries, in any format.
2020 has been a difficult year for all of us, but all we can do is look to the future for a brighter 2021.
On behalf of myself and the rest of us at Blind Factory, let me wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Neil, Emma & Brian
Pre Christmas Orders
Unfortunately, due to demand we are unable to accept any further orders for pre Christmas installation for all products, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF VERTICAL BLINDS. We can continue to manufacture these until 18th December.
Please accept our apologies, but we are currently inundated with orders and will be working right up until Christmas anyway.
We can take orders for fitting in the New Year (lockdown pending) although measures are of limited availability before Christmas.
We would like to thank all of our customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Operational Update – Coronavirus (COVID-19)
UPDATED 28th September
Hi Everybody
We are now open and fully staffed. Neil is out, about and all over and Emma is in the unit to advise and show you the samples that we have to offer.
Please note that the lead times on all M2M products is significantly longer than pre-pandemic with most products (with the exception of Vertical blinds – still 2 weeks) taking approx. 3-4 weeks from order to fitting.
We are happy to welcome customers into the Unit but ask that you please read the document HERE which explains the situation for us and explains our position with regards to COVID-19.
Please call, don’t just turn up as if we have another customer in, you will be asked to wait outside until the unit is vacated. Better to be safe than sorry!
You will be required to wear a face mask when in the unit; we will sadly have to deny entry for anyone without.
As always, either over the phone or by email, give us your sizes and we’ll give you a price!
We’d like to thank you for your continued support over the previous and coming months.
Best wishes
