Made-to-Measure Curtains in Yaxley

Stilton Shutters is a Yaxley business — our workshop and offices sit at Eagle Business Park on Harrier Way, so if you live in the village you are quite literally our neighbour. That makes curtains for Yaxley homes the easiest job on our books: a free home survey can usually be arranged around your diary, our experts measure every window themselves, and each pair is made to measure and hand crafted in the UK. We bring fabric samples to you, because a colour that looks right in a showroom can look very different in your own light.

Off-the-shelf curtains come in a handful of standard drops and widths, which is why they so often finish at an awkward height or look mean across a generous window. Made to measure works the other way round: we measure the window first, then the curtains are hand crafted in the UK to those exact dimensions. Fullness is calculated properly so the curtains gather richly rather than hanging flat, patterns are matched across every width, and hems are finished by hand.

The choices are yours: heading styles from crisp pinch pleats to relaxed wave, linings from standard to blackout and thermal, and fabric in whatever weight and colour suits the room. Our job is to guide those decisions with samples in front of you, in your own home. Once the curtains are ready, our own fitters hang them, dress the folds and check the drop on every width. It is a slower way to make curtains than a factory line, and it shows in how they hang.

Why choose Stilton Shutters & Blinds

Plenty of companies will sell curtains to Yaxley; only one is actually based here. Stilton Shutters is family-run, founded by Sam Roberts, and works from Eagle Business Park with over 30 years of experience within home development behind the business. Being local means no waiting weeks for a survey slot and no travelling-salesman routine.

We also offer a Price Match Guarantee, so choosing your village firm never means paying more, and every product is backed by our warranty, with the exact cover confirmed in your written quote.

Serving Yaxley and the surrounding villages

Yaxley has grown a great deal, and its housing shows it: older properties along the village core, generations of infill, and modern estates on the edges. Each brings different windows — smaller cottage openings that suit neat sill-length curtains, and wide new-build living rooms where a full-length drape adds a softness that blinds alone cannot.

Because our premises are at Eagle Business Park, a Yaxley survey rarely waits long, and follow-up visits are simple — if a fold needs re-dressing or you want a second room done, we are minutes away. We look after the neighbouring villages too, along with Whittlesey and the whole of Peterborough.

Frequently asked questions

Will you come out for just one window in Yaxley?

Yes. No job is too small, and since our base is at Eagle Business Park we are only minutes from any Yaxley address. A single bedroom window gets the same free survey, fabric samples and written quote as a whole house.

Can I see fabric samples before deciding?

Always. We bring samples to your free home survey so you can hold fabrics against your walls and judge colour and weight in your own light. Daylight, lamplight and a showroom all show fabric differently, so this is the only reliable way to choose.

How long will my curtains take?

Lead times vary with the fabric and the making involved, so we confirm yours with the written quote after your free survey. Because every pair is hand crafted in the UK to your measurements, we would rather give you an accurate date than a vague promise.

How should I care for made-to-measure curtains?

Regular gentle vacuuming with an upholstery attachment keeps dust from settling into the weave. Most face fabrics prefer professional cleaning rather than a domestic wash, which can shrink linings. We will give you care guidance for your chosen fabric when your curtains are fitted.
