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.
Before you book a survey in Sandgate
- Whether the property is in a conservation area around Sandgate Castle.
- Parking access for the fitter — important on tighter streets in Sandgate.
- Whether existing blinds or fittings need to come down at fit.
- Floor protection in carpeted rooms — we bring our own dust sheets.
Some roman blinds jobs we've done locally

Salt and rapid guest turnover — we used ABS-waterproof shutters and washable rollers that the cleaners can sanitise between bookings.

Deep reveals and tall hallways called for a recess-fit, full-height configuration with a mid-rail to break the panel.
Whole-house roman blinds on a CT20 renovation
We surveyed every window in one visit, sequenced the manufacture by room and fitted across two days with one fitter — no disruption to the rest of the build.
