Specialist curtain and blind hanging service

The other day I had a call from a customer who wanted to know if we were a specialist curtain hanging service. The obvious reply was "yes, we are indeed a specialist curtain hanging service". She then went onto explain that a few years ago she had some curtains professionally made and installed by Peter Jones which for many years looked fantastic but recently they just haven't been hanging right. She thought the pull mechanisms and curtain tracks were fine and that it had more to do with the way the curtain are hanging on the rails than anything else.

When a customer calls and asks if we are specialist curtain hangers my immediate thought (From years of taking these types of calls) was that she meant fitting new curtain poles or tracks and not actually hanging the curtains themselves. I explained to this customer that we are a professional handyman service and though I am perfectly confident that we can figure out what is wrong with the way her curtains are hanging she should expect a handyman to arrive and not some interior designer curtain specialist type.

In the end she was perfectly happy with that explanation and even more pleased that the same handyman could sort out her funny hanging curtains and also look at a few other jobs she had around the house.

We pride ourselves on solving the problems of our customers and feel that we have the best handyman in London who are capable of solving almost all household and office jobs.

Hanging curtains and blinds is only one the many specialist jobs Silver Saints - London handyman service takes on.

Is Jon Lewis slipping?

Yesterday I had a call from one of our handymen to say that he is with a customer who has asked him to hang a blind. Our handymen hang blinds almost everyday, it has to be up there with the most common jobs we do so they see almost all makes shapes and forms of blinds. This particular blind came from Jon Lewis and had been supplied with the incorrect brackets for the blind. This is staring to become a common feature of blinds bought from Jon Lewis and the handyman thought he would call to let me know he had run into yet another JL blind that had been supplied with the incorrect parts.

I'm not sure if there was one bad batch supplied with the incorrect parts or if JL have let their quality control slip.

If you have had similar problems with blinds bought from JL post a comment on this entry as I would be interested to know if there is something wrong with the quality control at JL or if it just coincidence that we have seen a few blinds with incorrect parts.
