Frequently asked questions

Curtains and blinds

Everything people ask before their first consultation

How much do made to measure curtains cost?

Handmade curtains are priced by fabric, size, heading and lining. A standard window typically starts from a few hundred pounds a pair including making and fitting, with large bays and premium fabrics costing more. Every quotation is written, itemised and free of obligation.

Do you offer home visits?

Yes, free of charge across Nottingham, Mansfield, Newark, Southwell and the wider county. Joanna brings fabric books, measures every window and gives honest advice on styles and budgets.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Curtains and blinds are usually fitted within four to six weeks of ordering, depending on fabric availability, and Joanna confirms a realistic timescale with your quotation.

Do you supply fabrics or can I provide my own?

Both. Joanna supplies fabrics from leading houses at competitive prices and is equally happy making up fabric you provide.

Can you match existing curtains or an existing scheme?

Very often, yes. Joanna can source coordinating fabrics, extend a scheme into new rooms, or alter and reline existing curtains so everything belongs together.

Are your blinds child safe?

Yes. Every blind is made to current child safety standards with tensioned chains fitted as standard, and cordless or motorised options are available for children's rooms.

Do you only work in Nottinghamshire?

Nottinghamshire is home, and most work is within the county and its borders with Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. Larger projects, including show homes and commercial interiors, are undertaken nationally.

What is the difference between made to measure and ready made?

Ready made curtains are factory sewn to standard sizes. Made to measure curtains are cut and sewn for your exact window, in your chosen fabric, heading and lining, then fitted and dressed in place. The difference is visible across the room.

Do you fit poles and tracks?

Yes, supply and fitting of poles, tracks, bay tracks and battens is part of the service, including electric tracks for motorised curtains.

Is there a charge for the consultation or quotation?

No. The home visit, the design advice and the written quotation are all free, and there is never any obligation.

Free, no obligation
