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.
What you're paying for
- Hand-measured to the actual reveal — never catalogue-sized.
- Premium frames, hardware and child-safe tensioners included.
- Sample visit so you see the finish in your own light.
- Disposal of old blinds, tracks or fittings at no extra cost.
Local considerations that affect the quote
- How long the roman blinds will last — we guarantee the product for life and the install for 5 years.
- What the lead time is — typically 6–10 weeks from order to fit for roman blinds.
- Whether the price includes fitting and disposal of the old dressings (it does).
- How the colour or fabric will look in their actual room rather than a showroom.
