Home › Measuring & Fitting
Our Service
Every blind, curtain, shutter and BlindScreen® we supply is measured at your home and fitted by our own careful fitter. No guesswork, no ready-made compromises and no separate fitter you have never met. One service, from first measure to final check, across Peterborough, Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
The Service
If you are searching for blinds fitters near you, shutter fitters near you or curtain fitters near you, the honest first question to ask any company is who actually does the measuring and who does the fitting. With Ria’s Interiors the answer is simple: Ria measures and advises at your home, and our own fitter installs everything. Nothing is passed to a third party, and nothing is left to chance between the measure and the install.
The service covers made-to-measure blinds of every kind, including Roman blinds, roller blinds, Venetian blinds, vertical blinds, Perfect Fit blinds and conservatory blinds, along with made-to-measure curtains, plantation shutters and BlindScreen® systems for bifold and patio doors. Whatever the product, the process is the same: measured properly, advised honestly, supplied and fitted carefully.
What We Measure & Fit
Each product has its own measuring rules and its own fitting quirks. These are the ones we handle every week.
Roller, Roman, Venetian, vertical, day-night, pleated and Perfect Fit blinds, measured for inside or outside the recess and fitted to suit the window and the room. See the full range on our blinds page.
A complete curtain measuring and fitting service: windows, tracks and poles measured at home, fabrics chosen from the sample books, and your made to measure curtains fitted and dressed properly. More on our curtains page.
Plantation shutters measured to the millimetre, including bay windows and shaped openings, then fitted with bespoke frames. UK-made shutters can often be ready faster than imported options; our UK-made vs imported guide explains the trade-offs. Details on our shutters page and in our shutter cost guide.
BlindScreen® privacy, blackout, thermal and flyscreen systems for bifold doors, patio doors and large glazed areas, measured and fitted to each opening. See our BlindScreen® page.
Conservatory side and roof blinds, including shaped and angled glazing, where accurate measuring matters more than anywhere. More in our conservatory and roof blinds guide.
Room-by-room measuring for brand new homes, planned around your completion date, with full house packages available. See our new build homes service.
The Home Visit
Ria comes to your home with the sample books, blind samples, shutter finishes and BlindScreen® options, so you choose against your own walls and in your own light. Every window is measured properly: recess depths checked, squareness checked, obstructions like handles, tiles and radiators noted, and the right fitting method decided window by window.
You then receive a clear written quote covering the products, measuring, delivery and professional fitting. There is no pressure on the day and no pushy follow-up. The measuring and the survey are free, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
New Build Knowledge
New build homes are where fitting knowledge earns its keep. Modern homes mix plasterboard, dot-and-dab walls, steel and concrete lintels and uPVC frames, and each needs the right fixing in the right place. Drill in the wrong spot above a new build window and you find the lintel; use the wrong plug in plasterboard and the blind works loose within months.
We fit blinds, curtains, shutters and BlindScreen® in new build homes every week, so we know where the fixing points are, which fixings suit which walls, and when a no-drill option such as Perfect Fit is the smarter answer. If you would rather nothing was drilled into your new frames or walls at all, we will tell you honestly which products make that possible.
If you are dressing a whole new home, our new build homes page covers the room-by-room approach, and our developer and site sales service supports builders and sales offices directly.
Fitting Day
Our fitter keeps a separate pair of indoor house shoes just for working inside customers’ homes, and he takes real pride in leaving the working area clean and tidy. He sometimes leaves it cleaner than he found it. Dust sheets where needed, packaging taken away, and every blind, curtain and shutter checked and demonstrated before he leaves.
If anything ever needs attention after the job is done, we come back. That is what supplied and fitted should mean: one company responsible for the whole result, not a product in a box and good luck.
“Ria is kind and compassionate and very knowledgeable. Her customer service skills are fantastic. I would highly recommend Ria’s interiors not only for ordering and fitting but also for after care support. I will certainly be back for new blinds in the future.”

FAQ
No. Measuring is part of the free home consultation. Ria visits your home, measures every window properly, brings samples and gives honest advice, and you receive a clear written quote with no obligation to go ahead.
Yes. We supply and fit as one complete service. Everything we quote for is measured by us, made to measure for your windows and fitted by our own careful fitter, so there is no gap between the person who measures and the person who fits.
Yes. We work with new build homes regularly and understand the wall types, fixing points and drilling considerations involved, including plasterboard, lintels and uPVC window frames. We choose fixings and fitting methods to suit each window rather than guessing, and Perfect Fit options are available where no drilling is preferred.
It depends on the number of windows and the products involved. A single blind is usually quick, while a whole house of blinds, curtains or shutters takes longer and is planned in advance. We confirm timings when the order is placed and arrive when we say we will.
If you are in Peterborough, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire or the surrounding areas, yes. We measure your windows and tracks or poles at home, help you choose fabrics and headings from the sample books, then your made-to-measure curtains are supplied and fitted by our own fitter. If you have been searching for curtains made and fitted near you, this is exactly the service.
Ria brings the samples, measures properly and gives honest advice with no pressure. The survey is free and there is no obligation.
