Blinds for a hilltop village
Blidworth is an old place with a long story: a farming settlement on the hill, a churchyard said by legend to hold the grave of Will Scarlet of Robin Hood's band, and then a twentieth-century mining village after the colliery arrived in the 1920s. The pit closed in 1989, but the streets of former colliery housing it left behind — along with the newer estates built since — are exactly the sort of homes we dress every week.
Being up on the hill has a practical side. South- and west-facing rooms catch strong, low light, and exposed windows lose heat on winter nights. Made-to-measure blinds help with both, sitting close to the glass to cut glare in summer and add an insulating layer when it turns cold.
Taming strong light without losing the view
When a room catches full sun, a blind that only goes fully up or fully down is a blunt tool. Venetian blinds earn their keep here: tilt the slats and you can knock back glare while still seeing out across the fields. Day and night blinds do a similar job with fabric, gliding between sheer and solid stripes so you can soften light in the day and close up completely at night.
Both styles are made to your exact window sizes and come in a wide choice of colours and finishes, chosen from real samples in your own home rather than a screen.
Hard-working blinds for kitchens and bathrooms
For steamier rooms, roller blinds in splash-proof, wipeable fabrics are the sensible choice — they shrug off condensation and cooking splashes where an ordinary fabric would stain or a wooden slat would warp. Blackout roller fabrics also make short work of bright bedrooms, whether you are settling children on light evenings or sleeping after a night shift.
No-drill Perfect Fit for uPVC windows and doors
Much of Blidworth's housing now has uPVC windows and doors, and many people understandably do not want holes drilled in them. Perfect Fit blinds solve that: the frame clips neatly into the window's own rubber seals, no screws required, and the blind moves with the window or door when it opens. They are especially good on French doors and tilt-and-turn windows. For wider patio openings, vertical blinds remain the go-to answer.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for home visits in Blidworth?
No. Blidworth is about ten minutes from us in Mansfield, so it falls well within the twenty-mile radius we cover without any travel charge. The visit, the measuring and the written quote are all free, and there is no obligation to place an order afterwards.
How long will my blinds take from order to fitting?
Most made-to-measure blinds are manufactured within two to three weeks of ordering. As soon as they are ready we arrange a fitting appointment around your diary, and our own installers hang, level and test every blind. The finished installation is covered by our 12-month guarantee.
Can you fit blinds to uPVC windows without drilling?
Yes. Perfect Fit blinds clip into the rubber gasket of a uPVC window or door frame with no screws or drilling at all, which keeps your frames intact and any window warranty unaffected. They suit most standard uPVC units, and we will confirm suitability window by window during your free measuring visit.
My windows are odd sizes — is that a problem?
Not at all, and it is common in older Blidworth properties where openings were built by hand rather than to a standard. Every blind we sell is made individually to the measurements we take, so unusual widths, shallow recesses and out-of-square openings are all accounted for before anything goes into production.
