Roller Blinds in Harlow
Roller blinds are the product we fit most often, in blackout, waterproof, dim-out and patterned fabrics, cut to the exact size of your window and fitted by the same person who measures it.
What Is a Roller Blind?
Roller blinds suit almost every window type, from the timber frames of older Old Harlow and Bishop's Stortford Old Town properties to the tall uPVC glazing in Newhall and Church Langley. Below is the full range of fabrics and finishes we fit.

Roller Blinds for Every Property Type We Fit
Older timber framed properties around Old Harlow, Bishop's Stortford's Old Town and Thaxted near Great Dunmow rarely have two identical window openings, which is why we measure every roller blind on site rather than working from a stock size. A face fix bracket usually works best where the recess is too shallow for a neat recess fit.
Newer developments such as Newhall and Church Langley in Harlow, and the estates built around Stansted since the airport's expansion, tend to have flat uPVC frames suited to a cassette headrail finish. Sawbridgeworth's Georgian town centre sits between the two, with a mix of older sash windows and newer infill housing.
- Older propertiesFace fix bracket, individually measured openings.
- Newer estatesCassette headrail, flat uPVC frames.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roller Blinds
What is a roller blind?
A roller blind is a single sheet of fabric that winds up around a headrail tube fitted at the top of the window, operated by a chain, spring or motor. It is cut to the exact width and drop of the window opening rather than sold as a fixed size, and can be finished with an open roll or an enclosed cassette headrail for a neater look.
Can roller blinds block out light completely?
A blackout roller blind fitted with side channels can block almost all light entering around the edges of the fabric, which is why we recommend blackout fabric with side channels for bedrooms and media rooms. A standard blackout fabric without side channels still blocks the large majority of light but can allow a thin edge of light where the fabric meets the frame.
Are roller blinds suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, a waterproof roller blind fabric is treated to resist moisture, steam and mould, making it a common choice for bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. It wipes clean and does not need to be removed for cleaning, unlike a fabric curtain in the same room.
What is the difference between chain and motorised roller blinds?
A chain operated roller blind is raised and lowered with a side chain and is fitted with a child safe breakaway connector as standard. A motorised roller blind is raised and lowered by a small motor inside the headrail tube, controlled by a remote, wall switch or app, which suits high or hard to reach windows where a chain is not practical.
How long does a roller blind fitting take?
Fitting a single roller blind on the day of your appointment usually takes under an hour once it has been made. From your initial home visit, most roller blinds are measured, made and fitted within seven to fourteen days, with standard chain operated blinds typically the fastest to turn around.
