From pit village to growing community
Clipstone's story is written on its skyline: the Grade II listed headstocks of the former colliery still stand over the village, while the old spoil tips have become the green slopes of Vicar Water Country Park. Around that heritage, the village has grown fast — the colliery-era housing has been joined by wave after wave of new development, bringing young families and plenty of freshly glazed windows with them.
We fit blinds across every part of that mix. Whether yours is an original village semi or a house on one of the newest phases, the deal is identical: free home visit, precise measuring, fitting included and a 12-month guarantee on the installation.
New-build? Start with Perfect Fit
A large share of our Clipstone work now comes from the new developments, and for modern uPVC windows we almost always begin the conversation with Perfect Fit blinds. The frame clips into the beading around the glass — no drilling, no damage, nothing to argue about with a builder's warranty — and the blind travels with tilt-and-turn windows and French doors instead of flapping against them. With no loose cords, they're also an excellent choice for households with small children.
For wide patio and garden doors, vertical blinds stay the practical favourite: full clearance when open, adjustable slats for privacy, and headrail finishes to match modern hardware.
Blackout where it counts
New estates fill up with young families, and young families need dark bedrooms. Blackout roller blinds are the quickest route to naps that stick and summer bedtimes that don't become negotiations — the fabric blocks virtually all light, and because we make to measure, edge gaps are as small as the window allows. The same product serves Clipstone's shift workers just as well for daytime sleep.
Kitchens and bathrooms get their own treatment: splash-proof, wipeable roller fabrics that cope with steam and condensation without marking or warping.
Lofts, landings and roof windows
Plenty of Clipstone homes — new and old — have converted lofts or landing windows that standard blinds struggle with. For Velux-style roof windows we fit dedicated skylight blinds, made for the exact frame so they hold their position at any angle and seal out far more light than an improvised solution ever could. A blackout skylight blind turns a loft bedroom from unusable-in-June into the best room in the house.
At your visit we'll check the frame type and size, and quote for skylights alongside the rest of the house so everything arrives and gets fitted together.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for home visits in Clipstone?
No — visits are free throughout Clipstone and King's Clipstone, as they are across our whole service area within roughly 20 miles of Mansfield. We bring samples, measure every window accurately and give you a written quote with fitting included. There's no obligation and no pressure to decide on the day.
How quickly can blinds be fitted in Clipstone?
Typically two to three weeks from order to installation — every blind is made to your exact measurements, so there's a short manufacturing lead time. The measuring appointment itself can usually happen within days, since Clipstone is only minutes from our base. Fitting is done by our own team under a 12-month guarantee.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into new uPVC frames?
Yes — that's exactly what Perfect Fit blinds are for. They clip into the beading of uPVC windows and doors with no screws or drilling, so new frames stay untouched and warranties stay intact. Where other blind types need fixings, we drill into the wall or lintel around the window, never the frame itself.
Do you do blinds for Velux-style roof windows?
We do — skylight blinds are made for the specific make and size of roof window, so they run in side channels, stay put at any angle and block light far more effectively than anything improvised. Blackout versions are the popular choice for loft bedrooms. We'll confirm your frame details during the free measuring visit.
