J & P Upstairs Downstairs

Know their stuff and friendly enough but failing to keep pace with modern life.
If you’re retired then I recommend you use them for all your curtain and blind needs, if you work then avoid!
They were very helpful in giving advice and helping us select what we wanted. I suspect they’re not the cheapest but we were happy to support a local business and were confident we were getting quality.
However, fitting has proved their undoing. We were told it would all be fitted in one afternoon and so took the day off. That overran to the next day, so I had to take another day off, then we were told that one of the blinds was missing as it hadn’t been delivered. We were n’t told of the delay before the first appointment otherwise we would’ve asked to delay until they could do it all in one go.
2 weeks later we were informed that the final blind was ready and would be fitted Thursday. On Thursday the fitter never showed up. Now waiting for confirmation of when he’ll be able to come back so we can take a fourth day off for something that was supposed to take one afternoon.
I’m afraid if you can’t get first class customer service from family owned local businesses, it really will be curtains for the high street.

Nice shop alsolutely full of gifts that could be given to all ages. The games section at the back of the shop is great and has everything you could imagine. Keep an eye out for the bath ducks in cute outfits! Fabric store upstairs is well stocked full of good quality curtain fabrics. Bedding is all at reasonable prices.
