Venetian 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 Sandgate survey, this is what we look at
- 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.
Our promise on every Sandgate job
- The same fitter from first measure to final adjustment.
- A written, itemised quote in your inbox the same day.
- Lead times confirmed in writing before we take a deposit.
- If anything's not right at handover, we re-make at our cost.
