Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

Do you handle roller blinds on bi-fold doors in Hawkinge new builds?

Yes — bi-folds are now common on the newer estates around Hawkinge. We use free-hanging or perfect-fit systems that don't fight the door handles.

Can you survey and quote roller blinds in one visit?

Yes — every Hawkinge home visit ends with a written, itemised quote. No follow-up sales call required unless you want to refine the spec.

What fabric should I choose for a bedroom?

A blackout fabric in a cassette headrail gives the darkest result, with side channels to seal the edges if total dark-out is essential.

Hawkinge Roller Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

For roller blinds in Hawkinge, the survey decides everything. We'd rather spend an extra 20 minutes on the measure than rework a panel after fit.

Roller Blinds for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.
