Blinds and shutters we measure and fit

Six ways to dress a window, each made to your measurements and fitted by the person who measured it.

How a measure and fit works

Two trips to your home: one to measure and choose, one to fit. The price is agreed in writing in between.

  1. A hand holding a tape measure up at a windowThe visit, about an hour

    Step 1: We come to measure

    A fitter visits at a time that suits you, measures every window and brings samples to see in your own light.

  2. Hands guiding pale fabric through a sewing machineBlinds in about two weeks

    Step 2: Made to your measurements

    Your blinds are made to the millimetre. We put the price in writing before anything is ordered.

  3. A fitter on a step ladder working at the top of a window in a bright roomFitting day

    Step 3: Fitted in one visit

    The same fitter comes back, fits and checks every blind, and takes the packaging away.

Working with a small local fitter

What changes when the people who sell you blinds also measure and fit them, and sew the Roman blinds themselves.

  • Samples in your own light

    Colours change from window to window, so we bring fabrics and slats to you rather than sending a link.

  • No handovers

    The person who measures your windows comes back to fit them, so nothing gets lost between visits.

  • Child-safe as standard

    Every corded blind has its child-safety devices fitted before we leave, and we suggest cordless styles for children’s rooms.

  • A written price

    You get the quote in writing at the visit, with fitting included, before anything is ordered.

  • Tidy fitting

    Dust sheets down, old fixings filled if a blind moves, and the packaging goes with us.

  • Repairs and refits

    Moving house, or a chain has snapped? We refit and repair blinds we did not make, where parts allow.

Guide prices, written down

From-prices for a typical window, about 120cm wide by 150cm drop, measured and fitted. Your written quote after the free measure is the price you pay.

Sample reviews

“They brought the samples round on a Thursday afternoon and we chose the fabric holding it up to our own window. Fitted ten days later, and the bedroom is finally dark at five in the morning.”

  • “Shutters for the bay at the front of the house. They measured every angle twice and the panels line up perfectly.”

  • “Three Roman blinds for the kitchen and the snug, in a linen we picked on the day. Tidy, quick, and the price never moved.”

Questions people ask first

Straight answers on visits, timing, children’s rooms and the area we cover.

Is the measure really free?

Yes. The visit, the samples and the written quote cost nothing, and there is no obligation to order.

How long from measure to fitting?

Roller, Roman, Venetian and vertical blinds are usually fitted about two weeks after the measure. Shutters take about eight weeks.

Do I need to be in for the fitting?

Yes, or someone over 18 who can let us in. Most homes take one to three hours.

Are your blinds safe with young children?

Every corded blind we fit has its child-safety devices fitted before we leave, following the 2014 blind safety standard and government guidance, and we can suggest cordless styles for nurseries and children’s rooms.

Can you fit blinds I bought elsewhere?

Usually, if they were made for your window. We check the size and the fixings first and tell you if anything will not work.

Do you cover my area?

We cover Altrincham, Sale, Hale and the towns on our areas page. Not on the list? Ask anyway: we can usually say on the phone whether we can come.

What would you like?

Choose any that interest you. We bring samples of each.

How many windows?

Where should we come?

Your postcode tells us whether you are in our area.

The first half is enough, such as WA14.

When suits a visit?

A preference, not a booking. We call to agree a time.

Where should we reply?

Just a name and one way to reach you.

We use it only to arrange your visit.

A bay window, a skylight, parking or a colour you want to match.
