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.

How are venetian blinds cleaned and maintained?

Most need only a soft brush, microfibre cloth, or vacuum-brush attachment monthly. Fabric blinds can be spot-cleaned; shutters and wooden blinds wipe down with a barely-damp cloth.

Can you fit venetian blinds in Ashford listed buildings?

Yes — and we'll work to listed-building consent requirements. Face-fix systems that touch only the reveal (not the original frame) are usually the approved route.

Faux wood or real wood — which should I choose?

If the room sees steam or moisture (kitchen, bathroom, utility) always go faux. For dry rooms where the look matters most, real wood gives a richer finish.

Venetian 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.

Before you book a survey in Ashford

Catalogue sizing forced into a non-square reveal — gaps you can see daylight through.
Wrong fixing into render or lath-and-plaster — brackets pull within months.
Cord-and-chain installs without break-away tensioners — fails current child-safety regs.
Recess-fit on listed windows where face-fix was the right call — heritage issue waiting to happen.

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.
