The service
If you are searching for blinds fitters, shutter fitters 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. Whatever the product, the process is the same: measured accurately, advised honestly, supplied and fitted carefully.

A common question
Plenty of people are perfectly capable of measuring a window. The difficulty with made-to-measure products is that the measurements have to be right in a way ready-made shopping never demands. Recesses are rarely perfectly square, so a blind measured at the top of a window can be a different width from the same window measured at the sill. Each product needs its own allowances and deductions, and bay windows, angled returns and tracks add another layer again. Because every product is made to the sizes given, a small measuring error cannot be quietly returned to a shop.
That is why measuring is simply part of the service here rather than an extra. Ria measures every window accurately during your free home consultation and the sizes are checked before anything is ordered. So measure by all means for a rough idea of sizes and budget; when it comes to ordering, let us take the responsibility.
When we measure for your made-to-measure order, the responsibility for getting those measurements right sits with us, not you.

The home visit and fitting day
We bring the showroom to you. Ria comes with the sample books, blind samples, shutter finishes and Blind Screen® options, so you choose against your own walls and in your own light, and you deal directly with Ria from the first visit to the finished fitting.
New build homes are where fitting knowledge earns its keep: plasterboard, dot-and-dab walls, steel and concrete lintels and uPVC frames each need the right fixing in the right place. We fit in new builds every week, so we know where the fixing points are and when a no-drill option such as Perfect Fit is the smarter answer. Dressing a whole new home? See our new build homes page, and our developer and site sales service supports builders and sales offices directly.

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.

Ria brings the samples, measures properly and gives honest advice with no pressure. The survey is free and there is no obligation.

A single blind is quick, while a whole home with curtains, blinds and shutters takes longer. We confirm what to expect when your fitting is booked, and our fitter works carefully and tidily for as long as the job properly needs.
