Blinds in Beam Park
— Fitted Across RM13
We supply and fit window blinds and curtains across Beam Park and the surrounding RM13 area, covering the apartment blocks around Fairmont Road and Cortina Drive, the townhouses on the development’s tree-lined streets, and the growing number of rental and shared ownership homes throughout this new neighbourhood.
Window Blinds & Curtains in Beam Park, RM13
Made-to-Measure Blinds and Curtains for a Brand-New RM13 Neighbourhood .
Beam Park is one of the newest neighbourhoods in East London, built on land that was once part of the Ford Dagenham plant. Since the first residents moved in during December 2020, the development has grown into a mix of apartment blocks up to fourteen storeys, three and four bedroom townhouses with private gardens, and shared ownership and build-to-rent homes split across the Havering and Barking and Dagenham sides of the site. Nearly every window here is aluminium or uPVC, many are floor-to-ceiling, and a large share of residents are tenants or leaseholders working within lease restrictions rather than owner-occupiers doing whatever they like to the frame.
Home Decisions supplies and fits window blinds and curtains for every one of these property types. Our workshop is a few minutes’ drive away on Marsh Way in Rainham, and we carry out every measuring visit and installation ourselves with no subcontractors. We cover RM13 in full, including Beam Park, and bring our complete product range and fabric samples directly to your home or flat.
The process starts with a free visit. We measure your windows, talk through light, privacy, and any lease or landlord restrictions that apply, and leave you with a clear written quote and no obligation to proceed. Once you confirm the order, everything is manufactured to your exact window dimensions and we return to fit it.
Which Window Blinds Suit Beam Park Homes
Beam Park’s housing mix is unusual for RM13. Most of the postcode is period or postwar housing, but Beam Park itself is almost entirely new-build, so the product that suits a fourth-floor flat with a Juliette balcony is rarely the one that suits a three-bedroom townhouse with a rear garden. We select and fit the right blind for the specific window in front of us.
This is usually the first thing people ask about, in flats and houses alike. The fabric range runs from sheer solar to full blackout, and because the aluminium window profile used across most of the development is fairly consistent, we can often give an accurate estimate on the spot. Every blind is still cut to the individual recess, so a small bedroom window in a one-bed flat gets the same tight fit as a wide living room window in one of the townhouses.
Beam Park has more green space on its doorstep than most developments this size, between Central Park inside the scheme itself, the River Beam corridor, and Beam Valley Country Park just beyond it. Illusion blinds suit any window that looks out over open ground like this, since the fabric louvres can sit half open for daytime privacy without losing the view, then rotate fully closed once it’s dark.
Blackout Blinds for New-Build Bedrooms
A recurring request from residents here is early sun in the bedroom, particularly in blocks where windows face east across the development. Side-channel tracking closes off the light that usually leaks around a standard blind’s edges, which tends to be the difference shift workers and early commuters notice most. Because the blind is made to the recess rather than an off-the-shelf size, the fit stays tight from the first morning.
Almost every apartment in Beam Park is built around one open kitchen, dining, and living space rather than separate rooms, and that layout suits a Day & Night blind well. Slide the fabric bands to let light through for most of the day, then close for full privacy once it’s dark, all from a single blind rather than layering a voile under something heavier.
The townhouses on the development back onto private gardens through wide sliding or bifold doors, and vertical blinds remain the most practical way to cover an opening that size. They’re straightforward for a family to use every day and tend to hold up better over years of daily use than the fabric alternatives.
Some blocks here run to fourteen floors, and a tall window well above ground level isn’t always somewhere you want to be leaning on a cord. Motorised blinds solve that with a remote or an app, work with Alexa and Google Home for anyone already running a smart flat, and being fully cordless, they’re also the safer choice in a home with young children.
This is the product we fit most often across Beam Park, for one simple reason: a large share of residents are leaseholders, shared owners, or tenants, and most leases and tenancy agreements restrict what can be screwed or drilled into a frame. Perfect Fit blinds clip straight into the glazing bead, leave nothing behind if removed, and a landlord with more than one flat in a block can fit the same product across every unit for a consistent finish.
Curtains are less common in the flats, where floor-to-ceiling glass and limited wall space either side of the window make a blind the more practical choice, but they suit the townhouses well. We measure the full width, hang from a proper track or pole rather than a fixed-width rail, and can add a thermal lining, which helps given how much glazing the development’s houses tend to have.
Where a townhouse has a wide bifold door onto the garden, or a ground-floor flat has its own terrace, a Zip Screen gives more control over glare and heat than an indoor blind can manage at that scale. Tracked side guides keep the fabric running in a straight line rather than billowing loose in a breeze, which is the usual complaint about cheaper external screens.
Beam Valley Country Park and the River Beam sit right along the development’s western edge, with RSPB Rainham Marshes not far beyond, so residents on the lower floors and in the gardened houses tend to notice insects more than you’d expect this close to central London. A fitted fly screen means windows can stay open on a warm evening without that being a trade-off.

Blinds for Beam Park Homes & Businesses
Beam Park’s population is a genuine mix, and our enquiries reflect that. Homeowners in the townhouses and privately-owned flats generally want the properly made-to-measure finish a standard high street size can’t give on the development’s non-standard aluminium windows. Landlords and shared ownership buyers make up a large share of what we fit here too, since a good number of flats sit within build-to-rent blocks or are let out privately, and Perfect Fit or roller blinds in a durable, neutral fabric are usually the right call for a tenanted unit. Anyone with more than one property in the development can also set up a trade account for consistent pricing and fitting across a whole portfolio. The ground-floor units around the central square, including the Sainsbury’s Local, the health centre, and the smaller retail and office spaces along the colonnade, need window coverings as well, and we fit blackout and solar roller blinds for treatment rooms, staff areas, and shopfronts on the same terms as any home visit.

Why Beam Park Customers Choose Us
Ordering blinds for a window you’ve never had properly measured is a common way to end up with something a centimetre out on one side. Beam Park’s sizes are more consistent than most of RM13, but lease rules, building access, and floor height still vary enough that we’d rather see the actual window than quote from a floorplan.

Blinds in Beam Park - FAQ
Day & Night or roller blinds handle most floor-to-ceiling windows well, in a blackout or light-filtering fabric depending on the room. For anything overlooking Central Park or the river, Illusion blinds are worth considering too, since they keep the view while still giving you control over privacy. On glazing above the second floor, an electric option is often more practical than a cord.
Fitting itself usually takes one to two hours once the blinds are made, similar to any home. Building access can add a little time in the taller blocks, so we check whether your building needs a concierge sign-in or a lift booking before the visit, rather than finding out on the day.
Yes, this is one of our more common enquiries here. Perfect Fit and roller blinds are the usual specification for a let property, since they’re durable and leave the frame undamaged. Landlords with several flats in the same block can set up a trade account to keep pricing and the finish consistent across every unit.
Worth it for most ground-floor flats and any of the townhouses with gardens backing toward Beam Valley Country Park or the river. Insect activity picks up there from spring onward more than you’d expect this close to London, and a fitted screen means windows can stay open on a warm evening without that being a trade-off.
Yes. Perfect Fit blinds clip into the frame’s glazing bead rather than being screwed on, so nothing is drilled and there’s nothing to remove before you move out. That matters specifically at Beam Park, where a lot of flats are leasehold or rented and altering the frame can breach the agreement.
Usually a few days from first contact, sometimes less. Being based just up the road in Rainham keeps our diary flexible for Beam Park specifically, and we’ll ask about building access when we book, so the visit isn’t held up on arrival at reception.
Yes, the whole of RM13 is covered, Beam Park included, along with the stretch toward Dagenham Dock on the borough boundary. We also work across RM10, RM14, and the rest of Havering and Barking and Dagenham, at the same price regardless of which side of the line a property sits on.
