Installing blinds at height

We live in a new build house which has a double-height area right behind the front door. There’s a big window immediately next to the door, and then above them both there is a single large window, with the landing behind it - but with a void between the window and the landing.

When we moved in, DH was keen to get blinds installed over the top window, to provide privacy mainly when going to the bathroom. Not a big issue for us as we have an en suite, but we always tell guests to bring a dressing gown, as they are on full view of the whole street. We got John Lewis to quote, but they said it would be supply only as the height (at about 5m) was above their limit.

The recent heatwave has given us another reason to look at getting blinds up there (and on the window next to the front door) as it was really noticeable how much heat was coming in that side in the evening (west facing).

Has anyone had anything installed at this sort of height, and who did you use?

Could you look for a company that caters for commercial clients rather than residential ones?

Shops sometimes have huge blinds to cover their windows.
