Made-to-Measure Blinds in Peterborough

Well-chosen blinds do quiet work: softening low winter sun over the rooftops, screening a street-facing bay, keeping a south-facing kitchen comfortable in July. We are Stilton Shutters and Blinds, a family-run firm based in Yaxley on the edge of Peterborough, and we measure, make to order and fit blinds right across the city — from Victorian terraces in Millfield and Fletton to the newer homes of Hampton and Cardea. Every blind is manufactured in the UK and fitted by our own experts, never subcontractors.

Light control is where most Peterborough customers start, so that is where we start too. Roller blinds, from £45, are the flexible all-rounder: with 280 fabrics in the range you can choose anything from a sheer weave that takes the glare off a home office screen to a full blackout for a shift-worker's bedroom. Day and night blinds, from £70 in 41 colours, take the idea further — alternating sheer and solid bands slide past each other, so you can watch the street disappear while daylight keeps coming in, which makes them a favourite for front rooms that face the pavement.

Venetian blinds, from £36, remain the most precise tool of the three. Tilting the slats lets you steer light up onto the ceiling or down onto the floor without losing your view, and they shrug off the steam of kitchens and bathrooms better than most fabrics. All three are made to measure to the millimetre, so recesses, bays and out-of-square older openings are all comfortably handled. If you are not sure which way to go, our surveyor will bring samples and talk through each room on its own merits.

Why choose Stilton Shutters & Blinds

We were named Best Shutters and Blinds Company 2023 for Cambridgeshire at the Southern Enterprise Awards, and we hold 4.9 stars from 152 Google reviews — earned one careful installation at a time. Because we are based in Yaxley, a Peterborough visit is a short trip rather than a scheduled expedition, and we survey, quote and fit with our own people throughout.

The process starts with a free technical survey and a written quote — no obligation and no hard sell. We also offer a Price Match Guarantee, so choosing a local firm that measures properly does not mean paying more for the privilege. Every product is backed by our warranty — we confirm the exact cover for your product in your written quote.

Serving Peterborough and the surrounding villages

Peterborough gives a blinds fitter a bit of everything. The Victorian terraces of Millfield and Fletton have tall windows with deep reveals where a made-to-measure blind sits beautifully inside the recess, while the cathedral quarter's older properties often need careful measuring around less-than-square openings. Out at Hampton and Cardea, the story is modern uPVC — crisp, square and ideally suited to neat recess fits, or perfect fit frames that click in without a single drill hole.

Our workshop unit sits on Eagle Business Park in Yaxley, a few minutes down the A15, so we can usually offer survey appointments across Peterborough quickly and return for fitting without long waits. Plenty of our 152 Google reviewers are Peterborough households — often two or three rooms first, then the rest of the house once they have lived with the results.

Frequently asked questions

How much do made-to-measure blinds cost in Peterborough?

Our made-to-measure blinds start from £30 for vertical blinds, £36 for venetian, £45 for roller, £70 for day and night and £80 for roman blinds. The final price depends on size and fabric, which is why we give every Peterborough customer a written quote after a free technical survey.

Do you cover all areas of Peterborough?

Yes. We are based in Yaxley, on the southern edge of the city, so everywhere from Millfield, Fletton and the centre out to Hampton, Cardea, Werrington and Bretton is close at hand. We survey and fit across the wider Cambridgeshire area too.

How does the measuring survey work?

A member of our own team visits your home, measures every window precisely, checks recess depth, sills and handles, and brings samples so you can judge fabrics in your own light. You then receive a written quote with no obligation — we do not do hard selling.

Which blinds are best for bedrooms?

Roller blinds in a blackout fabric are the usual choice for full darkness, while day and night blinds suit bedrooms where you want soft light in the morning and privacy at night. Our surveyor will show you both options and recommend what suits each room.
