Pokeno is 28 minutes from our workshop, at the southern edge of Auckland, the last town before the Bombay hills. Much of the housing is new, built as the town has grown, with large joinery and open-plan living.
We measure and quote in the home, room by room, and the blinds are made for your windows rather than trimmed down from a standard size. If you are deciding between a few options, we will bring the fabrics to you and put them against the actual glass.
What we fit in Pokeno
Roller blinds
The workhorse: blockout, sunscreen or light filtering, chosen for the room rather than the catalogue.

Questions we get in Pokeno
Do you charge for a measure in Pokeno?
No. The in-home measure and quote is free across Pokeno, with a minimum of five blinds, and no obligation. Pokeno is 28 minutes from our Manurewa workshop.
Which blinds suit Pokeno homes?
It follows the glass and the room rather than the suburb. Big sliders and a west aspect usually want a sunscreen fabric; bedrooms want blockout; older single-glazed rooms benefit from a thermal layer; anywhere you cannot reach comfortably is better motorised. We work that out window by window on the measure.
How much do blinds cost in Pokeno?
It depends on the window and the fabric, so we quote per opening rather than publishing a price list that will be wrong for half the houses we visit. The measure is free, and the quote is written with each window and option listed, so you can see exactly what each one costs and drop any you do not want.
Do you install as well as supply?
Yes. We measure, the blinds are made for your windows, and the same team installs and adjusts them. We do not hand you a box and a set of brackets.
Do you cover Pokeno and the streets around it?
Yes, and the neighbouring suburbs on the same run. 28 minutes from our Manurewa workshop, and we book South Auckland jobs together so we are in the area.
Can you quote the whole house in Pokeno?
Yes, and it is usually better value than doing it room by room. One visit, one quote, and the blinds are made together so the fabrics match.
