Testimonials:
After being badly let down, by a Large department store re ordering of curtains and track, I went on a web search. I found Eric The Rails, and phoned him to come out to Southport to quote for a Curtain track for an awkward Bay window. He arrived when he said he would and quoted a price far cheaper than the Large department store, also including the fitting.
On the day of fitting he again arrived on time, did an excellent fitting job in a very narrow gap at the end of a row of built in wardrobes. He cleaned up after himself, and the finished product is a mirror image of the one downstairs fitted last year by the large department store. Eric is very friendly, and honest. I would highly recommend him.

Sorry this has taken so long to send this testimonial. “I would just like to say how pleased we are with the service, supply and fitting of our new bay window curtain rail. After many years of living with a poll across the window, which has fallen down several times, we decided to consider how to install a bay window rail, the window also has vertical blinds to contend with, so for us this was never going to be an easy solution. After several drawings, changes in design and then eventual tears, we realised that this was a job for someone with the proper expertise to complete. After we initially booked Eric in for a quote and assessment, he scheduled us in at a time convenient to us and made the whole job look quick and very easy. If you want a job done properly and your curtains to stay up, then I would highly recommend Eric to keep your curtains on the rails.”

* Fantastic service, would
definitely recommend *
I needed a very long curtain pole to reach wall to wall and a voile
track too. Having trawled websites trying to find the right
poles/tracks, I became somewhat overwhelmed by the lack of apparent
options and how to fit.
One call to Eric and he made the whole job seem so simple (even though
it wasn't!) Great communications, arrived for both appointments when
he said he would. Genuinely good guy. I am delighted, thank you so
much

Hi Eric
A landlord in Yorkshire subject to lockdown restrictions but facing chronic problems with bay window curtains searched online and discovered Eric The Rails. Eric arrived quickly at the rented property, identified the problem (existing rails unsuitable for bay windows) and proposed a solution at a very reasonable price.
A few days later the replacement rails were installed, curtains re-hung and two residents were delighted to find that their curtains were secure and moved serenely along the track. A great professional job executed with skill providing a swift, perfect solution. Thank you Eric

Hi Eric
I just wanted to
write a post to say what a fantastic job Eric did putting up both
track and pole curtain rails for me. The whole process from start to
finish was seamless.
After coming to measure up - it was less than a week for fitting. The
price was great. I even made a small change to my requirements, that
Eric happily accomodated.
On day of fitting - Eric wears the whole kit - the shoe protectors and the mask to keep everyone safe. He is quick, quiet, friendly and tidy. He even put my curtains back up for me bless him.
Quality was great - and I am so happy with his service and would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs curtain poles. Thankyou Eric, great job and it was lovely meeting you.

I booked Erictherails to fit 4 curtain poles and 4 sets of curtains for my house. Eric arrived on time and he was very polite and friendly. The price to fit the poles and curtains was incredibly cheap.
I found Eric himself to be the perfectionist, he took his time to carefully measure up the curtain poles and he fitted the curtains beautifully. I am absolutely delighted with Eric's workmanship and I would highly recommend Eric.
Can't thank you enough Eric x

We had some lovely curtains made for a bay window, but they were badly hung and didn't appear to fit. By re-hanging the curtains so they fit perfectly in lovely pleats and now fit the space, Eric the Rails transformed the room - and was a very jolly presence while doing it! Highly recommended.

Mrs T Watts-Hunt, Garston
Just a quick thanks for the stirling work you did on our bay windows.
Arrived promptly to quote us, put our minds at ease when we were
stressing and then surprised us with the finish. As curtain rails go,
it does look great! We're really pleased. Would recommend you to
anyone, well played mate.
Many Thanks,

Would just like to thank you for the fabulous job you did fitting the
curtain tracks to what we thought were awkward bay windows. You advice
and knowledge is amazing. Also thank you for being on time and using
dust sheets and wearing over-shoes on our new carpets. You are a true
professional. Would have no hesitation recommending you.
Many Thanks,

Eric fitted a curtain rail in my living room in December. Despite
being it a busy month, he knew exactly when he would have time and
came on the planned day for the measurements. The next day he fitted
the rail and hung up the curtains. It's great to have a reliable and
competent tradesman who is responsive and on time. I definitely
recommend Eric!
Best wishes,

so here follows my review.

Hi Eric,
Thanks once again and please find below a testimonial for your website.

Hi Eric
thank you for coming out yesterday as agreed several weeks ago when you first called to give us a price for your work with Josh.
We were surprised that even after the snow we had last week that put so many tradesman behind, causing other tradies we were using to rearrange their dates, - that you called as arranged and on time to provide every room in our home with slide and glide metal rails. Most of the rooms in our house have bay windows involving quite a few bends that add difficulty to the job, the house still has many packing cases and tools on the floors for you to work 'around'. You did this uncomplainingly and with a smile on your face.
Finally the other complication is that the house is an old cottage and therefore some of the windows at the end of the house are not straight to the ceiling and even this did not cause you or Steve (your right hand man on the day) any problems and your eye for detail was spot on and the rails are going to give the impression that the ceilings and windows are straight.
Your work was exceptional given the circumstances, furthermore the fact that we had to leave you in the house for most the day on your own was not an issue for you or us, and one can see at hand you couldn't be more trustworthy and honest guys.
We would have absolutely no trouble recommending you to others and the price you gave for this job was £600 cheaper than a national chain of stores we could have asked to do the job.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a job really well done.

Hi Eric
Just to say I am absolutely delighted that I phoned you this morning after my curtain rail came crashing down. You were busy for the day but you fitted our job in on a Friday evening...that is going the extra mile. No fuss, efficient, excellent service!
Almost glad it fell down because now I have the swish. I would Highly recommend you.

Eric fitted my rail today and even hung my new curtains for me. I was extremely happy with his work and found him very polite, friendly and hard working.
I would certainly recommend him to any friends

Hi Eric Just thought i'd write a
review for your website.
To say i'm delighted with the work you carried out would be an
understatement.We
purchased a cheap rail from a diy shop and it just wouldn't carry the
weight of the
curtains. After spending many hours and many arguments not getting it
right we did a
search on the internet and found you. You arrived at the agreed time
and immediately
put us at ease with your happy and helpful manner. We where expecting
a lot of
sucking of teeth and sighing, but no. You instantly explained the
difference between
"diy" tracks and professional tracks. The quote you gave us was
reasonable and we
agreed a date to fit it. Again you arrived on time removing the old
track. We
certainly weren't expecting you to make good the old holes. The
awkward bay you made
look easy and once again we weren't expecting you to re hang the
curtains. Then
getting a vaccum cleaner from your car to clean up frankly was an
unexpected bonus.
Thank you for a 10 out of 10 job and going the extra mile. I really
couldn't
recommend you enough and will certainly be getting you back in the
near future as
our curtains now glide with extreme ease and hang so much better so it
puts the rest
of our curtain tracks to shame. Thanks once again

Hi
We first used Eric to fit a curtain rail in a
large Victorian bay window, which was causing us some difficulty. He
came round to give us a quote and we was very impressed with the
advice and knowledge he gave us. After he fitted the rail and hung the
curtains, we decided to have him back and fit another four curtain
rails in our house.
We are extremely happy with his work and found him polite and a hard
working professional. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to any of my
friends.

Hi Eric,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for my curtain rail and help with
hanging my curtains.
As you know I attempted to put my own rail up in a large bay, but
failed miserably trying to bend it. The rail you put up is great.
Can I also thank you for coming back when I got my new curtains
delivered a few days later. You hung my old curtains for me when you
put the rail up, then came back out and rehung my new ones - I wasnt
expecting that.
As the new ones had a different heading they needed more hooks and
runners to make them hang right. I was very happily surprised when you
came the same day, provided the hooks and runners and even rehung my
new curtains at no extra charge!
I have to say I would strongly recommend you to my mum - and that's
the best compliment I can give! I am more than happy if you would like
to use this letter as a testimony.
Thanks again and next time I need a curtain rail I'll give you a call.
21/09/16
Kim
Definitely recommend Eric.
Initial telephone call turned into a site visit the next day with a
very reasonable quote.
Work carried out within 24-48hrs to a excellent standard. Excellent
customer service, trustworthy and reliable. Would use again without
any problem.

ThankYou Eric for the efficient
and professional manner in which you installed our new curtain rails.
We were impressed by your good eye for detail and quality workmanship.
We would recommend Eric to our family and friends as he is certainly
prepared to work hard with his capable assistant Josh in order to
guarantee customer satisfaction

To say I am a "perfectionist" is
an understatement!
This gentleman, in every sense of the word is the epitome of a
"perfectionist"
I called upon him to fit and supply four sets of blinds and three sets
of curtains for me.
I had been quoted from three other well known blind and curtain
fitters, and found Eric to be surprisingly cheaper for the same job.
From the first telephone call to the completion of the amazing job
that he did took a week from start to finish. I got lots of invaluable
advice which resulted in my house being made into a "home" for me and
my daughter. I would have no hesitation in recommending "Eric the
rails" to anyone looking for top quality blinds and curtains fitted by
an absolute gentleman. He is very tidy and clean which is a rare
quality in workmen these days.
From the bottom of my heart a huge "Thankyou" for all that you have
helped me to achieve in such a short space of time. 10/10

Hi Eric
Just a quick note to say just how extremely happy we are with the new
curtain rail you fitted this morning. We were amazed at the care and
effort you took to ensure a curtain rail that will surely last for
ever. Thanks again for a really great job with a ready smile and a
joke at a very competitive price. We'll be back to you soon when it's
time for the new blinds.
Thanks again

Just thought I'd say a big thank you for sorting my curtains out. They

done a lovely job especially because of the sliight imperfection ( not
her fault ) .

Hi Eric,
I am just sending you a note to say how chuffed we are with your
recent hanging of our curtains in our guest bedroom. It was so easy to
just obtain the correct curtains so you could fit the rail and hang
them for us in one go. As repeat customers we are still amazed at how
quickly you get the job done with minimal hassle and disruption. You
have all the kit and knowledge needed to ensure the final look of the
curtains is just perfect for even the most demanding customers! The
room is so dark now at night, perfect for our guests who might like to
sleep in during these bright light summer months.

I have just had my blinds fitted
from Eric The Rails and wanted to comment on how professional he was.
Eric was punctual and got to work straight away. He was very
respectful of my home as I’ve just had new carpets fitted. He used
dust sheets on the window sills to catch the dust when using the drill
to fit the blinds. He top fixed the blinds so no damage was done to my
window frames when fitting them.
A true professional in his workmanship, knowledgeable and very polite
at all times. I would recommend him to anyone and would certainly use
him again.

Wow!! Can't recommend Eric and
his skills highly enough!! My windows are awkward shapes but no
problem for Eric he knows exactly what he needs to to. Fantastic job
first class finish, Eric only uses the best materials and with a life
time guarantee! He is very profressional and leaves everything clean
and tidy. He goes the "extra mile" and was recommended by a friend.
So go on what you waiting for give him a call, you wont be
disappointed.

Hi Eric
Just wanted to write to thank you so much for fixing my elderly
mothers rail so promptly. We really thought she'd need a new track but
within minutes you had identified the problem and fixed it. Being so
honest is a credit to yourself as we would have paid for a new track
as Mum's track was very old. It is now working as good as new.
We will have no hesitation in recommending Eric the rails.
Thank you again
