Arrange a home visit here.
Do I need to measure my windows myself?
No. Our home consultation service includes
professional measuring. Approximate dimensions
can be useful for an initial enquiry, but
our team will take the measurements needed
for your made-to-measure order.
Can I see samples before choosing?

finishes and operating systems at our
Cannock showroom, or view suitable
samples during a home consultation.
This helps you compare products against
your own décor and lighting.

Products, Fabrics & Window Types
Practical choices for every room and window.
What types of blinds do you supply?
Our range includes roller, Roman,
Venetian, vertical, Perfect Fit,
cellular and motorised blinds,
alongside specialist solutions
for unusual windows.
Availability varies by product
and window specification.
Can you fit blinds to bay windows or unusual shapes?
Many bay windows, angled windows,
roof lanterns and other unusual
openings can be fitted with suitable
made-to-measure systems.
We'll assess your window design and
explain which options are practical.
What is the difference between blinds and shutters?
Blinds typically use fabric or slats
that raise, lower, tilt or slide
to control light. Shutters are
more structured window coverings,
with framed panels and adjustable
louvres. Both can provide privacy,
light control and a decorative finish,
but the most suitable option depends
on your window and personal preferences.
Are motorised blinds available?
Yes. We offer a range of motorised
blinds, with options for remote,
rechargeable battery or compatible
smart-home control depending
on the system.
Explore our motorised blinds.
Can you help with privacy and blackout?
Absolutely. We can recommend fabrics
and systems designed to improve
privacy or significantly reduce
incoming light. Blackout fabric
does not always mean a completely
dark room, as some installations
may allow light around the edges.
We'll explain what to expect
from your chosen product.
Do blinds help with keeping rooms warm or cool?
Certain fabrics and blind constructions
can help reduce heat transfer or solar
glare. Cellular blinds, lined curtains
and selected shutters can offer
useful thermal benefits.
The results depend on the product,
window, installation and room conditions.
Do you offer child-safe blinds?
Yes. We can discuss cordless,
wand-operated and motorised
options, together with appropriate
safety devices for corded products.
Child safety is an important part
of selecting and installing blinds.
Learn more on our
child safety page.
03 | Your order
Ordering, Delivery & Installation
What happens after you've chosen your design?
Are your blinds made to measure?
Yes. Our blinds are specified to
suit your individual windows.
Many ranges are manufactured
in our Staffordshire workshop,
while specialist products may
be sourced from selected suppliers.
How long does it take to receive new blinds?
Typical blind lead times are around
4–6 weeks, depending on the product,
fabric and supplier. Specialist
designs may take longer.
We'll confirm the expected timescale
when your order is placed.
How long do plantation shutters take?
Made-to-measure shutters typically
have a lead time of around
12–14 weeks. This can vary
according to materials, specification
and production schedules,
so we'll give you an estimated
timeframe for your order.
Is fitting included?
Just Blinds advertises free fitting
with its blinds, shutters and awnings.
Your quotation will confirm the scope
of supply and installation, including
any product-specific or unusual
installation requirements.
Do you install the products yourselves?
Our experienced fitting team carries
out professional installations,
helping ensure your window furnishings
are fitted correctly and operate
as intended. Specialist electrical
or building work, where required,
will be discussed separately.
How much will my blinds cost?
Prices depend on the type of blind,
dimensions, fabrics, finishes
and operating mechanisms.
We provide tailored quotations,
so you can see the cost of
the specification you're choosing.
04 | Peace of mind
Guarantees, Care & Aftercare
Looking after your purchase for years to come.
Do your blinds come with a guarantee?
Our standard blinds are advertised
with a 3-year guarantee.
Different product ranges may
have different terms and exclusions,
which we'll confirm when you order.
What guarantee do your shutters have?
Guarantee periods vary by material.
For example, our ranges include
5-year cover on basswood shutters,
10-year cover on selected hardwood
and poly materials, and up to
25 years on Thermalite shutters,
subject to the relevant warranty
conditions. Please check the exact
cover on your chosen range.
How do I clean my blinds?
The best cleaning method depends
on the material. Many Venetian
and shutter surfaces can be
dusted gently, while fabric blinds
may require careful vacuuming
or specialist cleaning.
Always follow the care advice
provided for your particular product
and avoid saturating fabric or mechanisms.
What if I have a problem after installation?
Contact our customer service team
on 01543 274 207
or email
team@justblindsltd.com.
Include your order details,
a description of the issue
and photographs where helpful.
The team can advise on the next steps.
Can existing blinds be repaired?
Repair options depend on the blind,
the fault and whether replacement
components are available.
Contact our team with details
of your product so we can assess
what may be possible.
