Made-to-Measure Curtains in Peterborough

Streetlight creeping past thin fabric, a bedroom that never quite darkens, a sitting room that feels bare once the sun goes down — the right curtains solve all of it. Stilton Shutters makes made-to-measure curtains for homes across Peterborough, hand crafted in the UK and fitted by our own experts. We start with a free home survey, bringing fabric samples so you can judge colour and weight in your own light rather than under showroom bulbs. From Victorian terraces in Millfield to new builds out at Hampton, we dress Peterborough's windows properly.

Made-to-measure curtains are as much about what sits behind the fabric as the fabric itself. A standard lining gives a clean drape and protects the face fabric from sunlight. A blackout lining stops light almost completely, which matters in bedrooms and children's rooms, while a thermal lining adds a layer of insulation that makes a noticeable difference on single-glazed and draughty windows. Interlining — a soft layer sewn between face fabric and lining — gives curtains the full, heavy drape you see in well-dressed period homes.

Because every pair is hand crafted in the UK to your exact window sizes, nothing is compromised to fit a standard drop. Full-length curtains can finish precisely at the floor or puddle slightly, sill-length curtains sit exactly where they should, and patterns are matched across widths. During your free home survey we bring samples so you can see how each fabric behaves in your own light, at your own window, before you commit. We then measure every window ourselves, so the finished curtains hang straight, stack back neatly and clear radiators and skirting as intended.

Serving Peterborough and the surrounding villages

Peterborough is a city of very different windows. The Victorian terraces of Millfield and Fletton have tall sashes and bay windows that deserve full-length curtains with proper headings, while the new estates at Hampton and Cardea tend to have wider, shallower openings where a cleaner, simpler drape often works better. We measure and make for both every week.

Our base is at Eagle Business Park in Yaxley, on the southern edge of Peterborough, so surveys and fitting appointments are easy to arrange at short notice anywhere in the city — and there is no charge for the free survey wherever you are, from the cathedral quarter out to the newest estates.

Frequently asked questions

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

It depends on the fabric you choose, the size of your windows and the lining. Because every pair is made to your exact measurements, we price each job individually: we visit, measure, show you samples and leave a written quote with no obligation and no hard sell.

How does the measuring process work?

One of our own experts visits your home, measures each window precisely and talks through drop, fullness, headings and linings. We bring fabric samples with us so you can judge colours in your own light. There is nothing for you to measure yourself and nothing to pay for the survey.

Do you cover all of Peterborough?

Yes. We are based in Yaxley on the southern edge of the city, so the whole of Peterborough is local to us — Millfield, Fletton, Hampton, Cardea and everywhere in between. Surveys and fitting are carried out by our own team, not subcontractors.

Can curtains help keep a room warmer?

Yes. A thermal lining or interlining adds a layer of insulation over the glass, which is particularly worthwhile on older single-glazed windows. Well-fitted full-length curtains also reduce draughts around the frame. We will recommend the right lining for each room during your free survey.
