In our experience, so called "free" home consultations are not free but simply factored into the finished price. In fact, as not everyone will buy afterwards there is probably more than one consultation factored into the price. The Fabric Stores operates slightly differently to our competitors. As we carry stock of over 9,000 mtrs of fabric in roll form it is impossible to take this to customers homes. We therefore encourage customers to take approximate measurements of their windows (click
here for measurement guides) and to visit the shop to select the fabric of their choice. We can then provide an estimate of cost for any made up items or for just fabric only. If you then decide to go ahead we will come out and take a check measure after the deposit is paid. By doing it this way we strip out a significant amount of cost that we pass on to the customer.
