You do not have to measure. We do.

If our measurements are wrong, we remake it at our cost. But if you want a rough price tonight, here is how.

A roman blind in oat fitted inside the window recess

Inside the recess

The neat choice for blinds. Width: wall to wall at the top, middle and bottom, use the smallest. Drop: from the top of the recess to the sill.

Wave curtains in oat hung outside the window, from the ceiling to the floor

Outside the recess

For curtains. Makes a window look bigger. Width: the window, plus 15 cm each side so they can stack back off the glass. Drop: from where the track goes to the floor.

Fullness, and why cloth costs what it does

Curtains take more than twice the track in cloth, or they hang flat. A 190 cm track needs about 4.4 metres across. Roll width is 137 cm, so that is 3.5 widths, joined by hand. It is the biggest number on any curtain quote.

Which drop?

  • To the sillJust above it. For blinds and small windows.
  • Below the sill15 cm under. Where there is a radiator.
  • To the floor1 cm clear. Our favourite when the room allows it.

How much is the deposit?
25% when you approve the quote. The balance is due after fitting, once you are happy. Nothing to pay before that, and the home visit is free.
How far do you travel?
Free across Ashcombe (AC1 to AC3), Millbrook (MB1, MB2) and Thornley Vale (TV1 to TV3). Up to 30 miles beyond that is £35 for the visit, taken off your order if you go ahead. Each fitter works one area a day, so some days are not offered for your postcode.
How long does it take?
4 to 6 weeks from approving the quote to fitting. We give you a date for each stage in the app. If a fabric is out of stock, we tell you before you pay.
Who comes to my house?
Nell, Bryony or Tomasz. All employed by us. You choose when you book, or take the first free, and the app shows you who is coming, with a photograph.
What if I change my mind?
Before we cut, you can change anything or cancel and get your deposit back. Once cloth is cut to your size we cannot resell it, so the deposit stays. It is the same in every made-to-measure workroom.
Will you take down what is there?
Yes, free. We fill the old fixing holes on request and take away the old blinds if you would like. Please clear the sill and move anything fragile the night before.

Let us do the measuring.
