Curtains
Curtains made to your measurements, in fabrics you choose from the sample books at your own window. We measure, the makers sew, and the person who measured comes back and hangs them.

Made-to-measure curtains
Curtains sewn to your exact drop and width, lined or interlined, in a heading style that suits the room: pencil pleat, pinch pleat, eyelet or wave. They work anywhere you want softness, warmth or blackout, from a small bedroom window to a full wall of glass. At the visit we bring the fabric books, measure every window ourselves and give you a written price before you order, including tie-backs, holdbacks and trimmings if you want them.

Poles and tracks
Wooden and metal poles, corded and uncorded tracks, and bent-to-shape tracks for bay windows. The fixing matters as much as the product: heavy interlined curtains need a pole or track screwed into something solid, not just plasterboard. We check what your wall will take at the visit and fit everything level and true.

Voile and sheer curtains
Voiles and sheers are lightweight unlined curtains that filter the daylight and keep a room private during the day. They hang on their own at a landing or bathroom window, or behind heavier curtains so you get privacy by day and blackout at night. Sheers look best gathered generously, so we work out the fullness at the visit and hang them on their own track or the back rail of a double pole.

Pelmets
A pelmet is a fabric-covered board fitted above the window that hides the track and tidies the top of the curtains. It suits bay windows, tall period rooms and anywhere a bare track would spoil the look, and it can be made in the curtain fabric or a contrast. We measure the return and projection at the visit so the curtains draw freely behind it.

Valances
A valance is a short length of gathered or shaped fabric hung across the top of the window. It is softer than a boxed pelmet, and made in the curtain fabric or a contrast. It hides the track, adds height to a window and suits bedrooms and traditional rooms. We work out the drop at the visit so it sits in proportion with the curtains and does not eat into the daylight.

Swags and tails
Swags and tails are a traditional dressing: fabric draped across the top of the window with shaped tails falling down each side. They suit tall windows in period homes, over full-length curtains or on their own. Every set is cut to the individual window, so at the visit we measure up and talk through fabrics and linings before anything is made.

A door curtain is a heavy, usually interlined curtain hung over a front or back door to cut the draught and the noise from outside. It hangs on a portière rod that swings with the door, so the door still opens freely and the curtain is never trapped. We check the swing and the floor clearance at the visit, because the hem has to clear the threshold without dragging.

Questions people ask us
No, and most people do not. That is what the visit is for. We bring the sample books to you, you see the fabrics and finishes against your own walls and your own light, and we talk through what works for each window.
If you would rather take the samples away and think about it, that is fine too.
It depends on the size of the window, the product and the fabric or finish you choose. That is why we measure before quoting rather than giving a figure over the phone.
You get one price that covers the product, the making and the fitting. The price we agree is the price you pay. We do not add anything afterwards.
Everything is made to your measurements, so there is a wait between ordering and fitting. It is usually two to three weeks for blinds and curtains, and three to five weeks for shutters.
We confirm the timing at your visit, once we know exactly what you are having.
