Roman Blinds for period properties: what we look for
Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.
- Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
- Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
- Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
- Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.
On a Hamstreet survey, this is what we look at
- Survey, manufacture, fitting and disposal of existing dressings.
- All brackets, fixings and tensioners — nothing added on at fit.
- Sample visit and any colour-match work on painted ranges.
- 5-year install warranty and the product warranty in writing.
How we keep the standard up
- Every survey is done in person — no online questionnaires.
- Manufacturing is sequenced by room, not by depot batch.
- Fitting is signed off window-by-window with you in the room.
- Aftercare calls at 6 weeks and 6 months on every install.

Glare on screens was killing productivity. We picked a dim-out fabric with a cassette headrail so the blind closes flush against the reveal — no light spill at the edges.

Velux-style roof windows on a steep pitch needed a guided side-rail blind so the fabric stays taut at any angle.
