Charlie you saved me a lot of grief. Simple easy to follow step by step video. Much better than the instructions that accompanied the blind.

Absolutely brilliant demonstration, very clear and no surplus waffle. I was installing mine leaning across a gallery so was doing it blind and just following your instructions.

For a DiY numpty like me this was brilliant, thank you - the Velux booklet is ok but seeing it step by step and from different angles was crucial to success, thank you

Hi, Thank you for easy to follow the video. I have just completed installing the replacement Velux blind. Amazingly easy to do and no broken finger nails. I am 65 years young and have never been put off by a challenge in all my years. The only thing that I was a little confused about when the blind arrived was the fact that the original fixings on the window and indeed the old blind itself looked totally different to the ones on the new blind. Your video gave me the confidence to place the blind. The rest as they just followed nicely. Thank you.

Really useful. I watched this before ordering the blinds and was reassured that I could fit them. I anticipated a few problems because the windows are 30 years old but there weren't any. It doesn't take any great strength/power tools/machismo. Thank you very much.

Hey thank you SO SO SO MUCH!!!! I AM 61 and a handy phobe.... but with your help I DID IT!!!!!! AMAZING!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!

YEY!!! That's fantastic news!! Well done you, and keep up the brilliant DIY. You see, I told you you could do it!

We were delighted to find Charlie DIYte and this video on the installation of our new Velux blind. His instructions were so very user-friendly, a great deal more so than any other you tube video we found. Fantastic for the "DIY challenged" people we are :) . very many thanks indeed to Charlie

Just fitted mine after familiarising myself with your video. Made it so much easier to do. Many thanks

You are my new best friend! I was a little intimidated at the prospect of putting a 4 ft square blind into my skylight in a 10-foot ceiling, but my confidence is restored and I’m ready to go. Thanks much.

Really helpful... I’m useless at following instructions and you made it a lot easier, confirming what I needed to do! Many thanks

OMG I have a fitted, working blackout blind!! Most excellent instructions.

I just bought MK04 window and installed it now this blind. thank you for a perfect instruction video ! it seems very easy

Brilliant! I’m crap at DIY but felt confident enough to try this and it really was as easy as you said! I’ve no bradawl so used a nail and a block of wood to tap it in just a little. The wood is soft enough for this to work well. The little velux tool was fine too. Feeling a bit smug! Worth a subscribe! 👍😊

I love every step you did I'm about to get mine ordered. I can't thank you enough for the clear explanation of the work . One of my best videos since I've ever remembered. Thank you 😊

You're very welcome. Yes the pictures are clever in that they can sell the blinds internationally without worrying about translations, but they're not always very clear.

Your very helpful and clear video was clearer than the Velux own one because you did close ups and talked to us about the different steps. So much easier to follow than just the pictorial leaflet guide as well. The design had also changed since we had the original put in 14 years ago. So we now have a fully functioning blind again, put up with no stress thanks to you!

You're very welcome, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I agree. The pictures are all very well (and cheap for Velux as they don't need translating across jurisdictions) but are sometimes a little hard to follow.

You sir are a bloody legend. I've been procrastinating for so long making excuses not to fit my blackout blind. This was so helpful and gave me the confidence to do this myself. Thank you again

Just had my Velux windows fitted. And, I have just fitted my black out blinds hassle free thanks to you Charlie. Your instructions are so, so clear, we'll delivered (you can tell I'm a teacher) and I really appreciate all the extra little tips which make a massive difference. You are very good. Thanks again.

@@CharlieDIYte Just a question for you. I have installed five velux blinds over the last few days without any problems but the fabric on one side of one of the blinds is not taught and overnight it bows outwards at a couple of points in the lower half of the blind otherwise it works perfectly have you any suggestions as to how I can remedy this? The cord and fabric fit in the channels and the movement is smooth when opening and closing the blind Thanks in anticipation Tony

Now to put learning in action! Thanks Charlie.

Thanks your help ! Easy to understand and I was able to instal 2 blinds reasonably quickly !!!! Thanks 5 star !!!!

Thanks for the video Charlie. The video made the installation so much easier. I agree it is easier to use power tools or a different screwdriver but they may rub against the guides and damage them.

Thanks for the comment Rob - really glad you found it useful!

Always good to see someone else explain clearly - and thank goodness there's no annoying heavy -metal background music, or the like accompanying it! - , but I pride myself at having fitted an older Velux blind myself with the clear Velux instructions that come with their blinds today. Sadly I'm having to buy an altogether new set because my Velux skylight window was over 30 years old (sprung a small leak!), and Velux tell me that I cannot use the perfectly good double-blind I so carefully used in the last 6+ years.. because, as they say, 'the dimensions of the windows have changed somewhat', and my older blind will not fit. I take this with a big pinch of salt, as in these days of 'use and throw.. and buy a new one', is what we have to endure! I'm sure if I seriously put my not -too-bad DIY skills to it, I can adapt my older blinds to fit, even if I have to sacrifice s little loss of 'perfection' here and there, but laziness at my age is a great enemy, haha. Nevertheless, good video Charlie!

Great video, very clear and to the point - thank you! We then successfully installed 3 blinds. By the way, I am reliably informed (by my wife!) that the "little plastic molding" that the left and right lugs come attached to, is called "sprue", not a word I knew before.
