Blinds for Homes in Upminster
Upminster has many interwar semi-detached and detached houses, often with bay windows, large rear extensions and conservatories. Cranham adds a mix of post-war and newer family homes.
Extensions and conservatories bring roof glazing and bi-fold doors, which need different blinds from the original windows at the front of the house.
Bay windows
Roller, day and night or vertical blinds fitted to each pane.
Extensions
Lantern, skylight and electric blinds for roof glazing.
Bi-fold doors
Vertical or electric roller blinds across wide openings.

Made-to-Measure Window Blinds and Curtains For Every Home in Upminster: Fitted By Our Local Team.
Upminster is one of Havering’s more settled, semi-rural suburbs, and the window stock reflects that history. The village centre around St Laurence Church and Corbets Tey Road still holds older-proportioned window openings on its period buildings, but the bulk of Upminster was built out in the 1920s and 1930s once the railway reached the area, which is why bay windows on semi-detached and detached homes are the dominant shape on most streets off Hall Lane, St Mary’s Lane, and Gaynes Park Road. Newer developments such as Kings Green off Hall Lane bring standard uPVC and aluminium-framed openings, and the rural edge toward North Ockendon and the farmland beyond Tomkyns Lane has larger detached and barn-style properties with bigger glazing and open views to manage.
HomeDecisions supplies and fits window blinds and curtains across all of these property types, from bay-fronted semis and village-centre homes through to new-build openings and rural-edge windows, without asking you to work around a standard size.
Window Blinds We Offer in Upminster
Every property type across Upminster calls for a different fit. Here’s how each blind type applies to the windows we see most often in the area.
Roller Blinds in Upminster
Roller blinds are the most straightforward option for the bay-fronted semis that make up most of Upminster’s housing stock. Each bay section is measured and made up separately, so the blind sits flush in its own recess rather than as one continuous piece stretched across three angled panes. We fit a wide range of fabrics, from light-filtering to full blackout, and roller blinds also work well in the flat, standard-sized windows found in newer developments like Kings Green.
Learn moreIllusion Blinds in Upminster
Illusion blinds use fabric louvres that tilt between a sheer, open view and a fully closed position. They suit homes that back onto Upminster Golf Club, Gaynes Park, or the open fields toward North Ockendon, where the outlook is worth keeping during the day but the room still needs screening once it’s dark outside or the lights go on indoors.
Learn moreBlackout Blinds in Upminster
Full blackout roller blinds with side-guide channels shut out light at the edges, which matters most in bedrooms. Upminster has a fair number of commuters using Upminster station and Upminster Bridge for the District line and c2c services into the City, and shift patterns or early starts make a properly dark bedroom worth the side-channel option rather than a standard blind that lets light bleed in around the frame.

Day and Night Blinds in Upminster
Alternating sheer and opaque bands let you dial in exactly how much privacy or light you want without swapping blinds through the day. They work well in living rooms facing Station Road or Corbets Tey Road, where you want the room screened from passing footfall during the day but still bright, rather than losing the view altogether.
Learn more
Vertical Blinds in Upminster
Vertical blinds remain the standard solution for patio doors and wide rear openings. Many of Upminster’s semi-detached and detached homes have side-return extensions or rear patio doors added over the years, and vertical blinds are durable and easy to operate across that width, with a full range of fabrics and slat widths to match.

Electric and Motorised Blinds in Upminster
Remote or app-controlled blinds are increasingly fitted in the larger detached homes around Hall Lane and Gaynes Park, and in newer rear glazing on extensions and orangeries. They’re also useful in properties with high or awkward-to-reach windows, and are compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and most smart home setups.

Perfect Fit Blinds in Upminster
No drilling, no damage to frames. Perfect fit blinds clip directly into the uPVC or aluminium bead of the window, which suits the large number of Upminster’s 1930s semis that have had their original frames replaced with uPVC over the past few decades. They’re also a common request from landlords letting property through the agents on Station Road and Corbets Tey Road, since there’s no frame damage to make good on between tenancies.

Curtains in Upminster
Made-to-measure curtains in any fabric, heading, and lining. The older village properties in the centre of Upminster tend to have deeper window reveals that suit a fuller traditional curtain treatment, while the bay windows found across most of the borough benefit from curtains that dress the full bay rather than sit flat across it. Thermal linings help on the larger single-glazed sash and casement windows still found on some older properties near the church.
Learn moreZip Screens in Upminster
External or semi-external roller blinds with a tracked side guide, built with larger glazing and garden rooms in mind. Upminster’s semi-detached and detached plots tend to have bigger rear gardens than the terraced streets further into London, and zip screens are a common request for orangeries, garden rooms, and covered patios used for entertaining, particularly around Hall Lane and the streets backing onto the golf club.
Learn moreFly Screens in Upminster
Custom-made for any door or casement window. Fly screens are effective at holding back the insect issue that comes with proximity to open farmland, and properties toward North Ockendon, Tomkyns Lane, and the fields beyond Cranham see more of this in summer than homes deeper into the village centre. Made to measure and fitted without damage to the window frame. Looking for the right blinds or curtains for your Upminster home?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free home appointments in Upminster?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation home appointments across Upminster and RM14. We bring fabric samples, measure every window and send you a written quote afterwards. Call 01708 505379 or use the form to book a time that suits you.
Can you fit blinds to roof lanterns in Upminster extensions?
Yes. We measure every pane of a roof lantern and fit made-to-measure pleated blinds, usually motorised so they open and close together from the room below.
Do you cover Cranham?
Yes. We fit blinds and curtains in Cranham as well as Upminster, Corbets Tey and the surrounding RM14 area.
Are Illusion blinds suitable for Upminster homes?
Illusion blinds use fabric louvres that tilt between a sheer, open view and a fully closed position. They allow you to keep a view over a garden or open outlook while gaining privacy from neighbouring properties or the street after dark. They suit Upminster homes that back onto Upminster Golf Club, Gaynes Park, or open farmland toward North Ockendon particularly well.
How long does installation take?
Most homes take half a day to a full day, depending on the number of windows and the blind type. Perfect fit and roller blinds fit quickly. Motorised blinds and zip screens take longer because of the wiring and calibration involved.
Do you fit blinds on bay windows without drilling?
Yes. Perfect fit blinds clip into the uPVC or aluminium bead of each bay section, which suits the bay-fronted semis found along most Upminster streets without marking or drilling the frame.
Are fly screens worth fitting near the green belt edge?
Homes toward North Ockendon, Tomkyns Lane, and the farmland beyond Cranham see more insects through open windows in summer than village-centre properties do. A framed or roller fly screen keeps windows open for ventilation without that trade-off.
Can you fit blinds in a new-build without drilling?
Yes, and it’s a question we get a lot from homes on the eastern side of Harold Hill near the park and woodland edges. We make fly screens to fit your specific window openings, roller, framed, and pleated styles, with no permanent fixings needed on most uPVC frames.
Do you cover Corbets Tey and surrounding RM14 postcodes?
We fit throughout Upminster village and the wider RM14 area, including Corbets Tey Road itself. For the separate Corbets Tey area south of the village, see our Corbets Tey blinds and curtains page.
