Is this quote reasonable?

[frillseeking]

We've been quoted around £1500 for roman blinds and I don't know if this is about the right price. The maker is an independent, fabric is designers guild and we wanted blackout lining and a pelmet with a trim so quite a lot of work involved I would say. We've never had them made before so I don't know what a reasonable price is really, any ideas?

You'll need to tell how many and what size(s)

For how many blinds and what size?

Sorry! We are looking at two blinds and they are both roughly the same size and both coming in at around £1500 each. Measurements are: width 1740mm, depth 1145mm

Each?! That seems very pricey. What's the breakdown between materials and labour?

The pelmet is £365, blind part £545 and the rest is fabric, trim and blackout lining. I searched through other threads and saw that John Lewis were coming in around £1300 so I thought maybe it's in line with other shops, especially as an independent but wouldn't want to get ripped off.

OMG that's a rip off!!

You think £3000 for two blinds would be acceptable?? Buy ready made 🙄🙄

Search online for ''discount blinds'' but depends on price of fabric too.

I'm asking if it's in line with prices for a bespoke blind. Obviously ready made would be cheaper or if we were looking at discounted fabrics. John Lewis is around £1300 so I thought in comparison this sounds in line. I know it's expensive

Really you need to get a couple of other quotes for proper comparison

that's very expensive, just did a quick online quote for a black out Roman blind for those sizes and it came out at £228 I have a bespoke wooden Venetian blind made for a very large window over 2m in width and it was £196 (fitted by DP)

Look on 24/7 blinds online

Mine for a large window - Roman blinds are around £150

Oh and local handyman fitted the last one for £10

I looked up Blinds2go a while back and was nowhere near that price. They are bespoke as well

That's extortionate. I get blinds done for all my renovated properties and the most I've spent is about £300 each for that size with expensive fabric (maybe not as expensive as DG). Blackout and lining together about £15/m so that shouldn't bump up the price much. I know Designers Guild fabric can be pricey but if you cost out the fabric the rest is labour - blinds are pretty easy to make though the pelment may add significantly if complicated, not so much if it's just a straightforward one.
Has the maker broken down the costs? I just can't see how it's that much.
