Blinds for Landlords: The Smart Approach to Rental Properties

Landlords face a familiar problem: fit cheap blinds and you are replacing them every 18 months. Fit expensive ones and tenants break them. Forbes Blinds has a smarter solution for both scenarios.

Renter-Grade Blinds That Last

We supply and fit commercial-grade roller and venetian blinds specifically selected for rental properties — robust mechanisms, replaceable components and neutral finishes that work with any interior. These are not the cheapest blinds on the market, but they are the most cost-effective over a full tenancy cycle. When something does need replacing, it is a part — not the whole blind.

The Motorised Solution for Landlords

Motorised blinds remove the single biggest cause of blind damage in rental properties: the chain. No chain means nothing to snap, yank or get tangled by a child. Tenants control blinds via an app or remote — and the mechanism stays completely untouched. For HMOs, short-term lets and premium rentals, motorised systems deliver the kind of peace of mind that no manual blind can match.

The Chain Problem — and the Simple Fix

The vast majority of blind replacements landlords fund are caused by one thing: a snapped chain. A replacement chain costs £15–£30. But most landlords do not know they can simply replace the chain — they assume the whole blind needs replacing. Forbes Blinds will come out, replace the chain or operating mechanism, and be done in under an hour. That one call saves you £150–£300 every single time.

Warranty and Aftercare

All Forbes Blinds installations include warranty cover and access to our repair call-out service. If something goes wrong — regardless of whether it is wear and tear or tenant damage — we come out, assess, and fix it quickly and professionally. One call, one contact, sorted.
