Most new-build homes in Bridgnorth are handed over without any window dressings, so on the first night you may have no privacy in the lounge and no darkness in the bedrooms. This guide explains what works best in a new-build, room by room, and how to plan it so your home feels finished as soon as possible. ## Book your survey early Made-to-measure products take time to make. Shutters take approximately 8–10 weeks and blinds approximately 2–4 weeks from order. The sooner we measure, the sooner they are fitted. Our home surveys are free with no obligation, and quotes are sent within 24 hours of the survey, so you can plan your budget well before moving day. ## Front of the house: shutters for kerb appeal and privacy Front-facing windows on new estates often look straight onto the street or a neighbour's drive. Full-height or café-style shutters give privacy while still letting in daylight, and they add instant kerb appeal from outside. Hardwood shutters cost from approximately £350–£450 per sqm fitted. ## Bedrooms: blackout for better sleep New homes often have large windows and little shade from mature trees. Blackout roller or Roman blinds keep bedrooms and nurseries dark on light summer mornings. Roller blinds start from approximately £95 per window, and Roman blinds from approximately £220. ## uPVC windows: Perfect Fit, no drilling Almost every new-build has uPVC windows. Perfect Fit blinds clip into the window frame without any drilling, which is ideal if you want to keep new frames and plaster pristine. They also sit close to the glass, so they stay put when windows tilt open. Perfect Fit blinds start from approximately £120 per window. ## Patio and bi-fold doors Wide glazed doors into the garden are a feature of most modern homes. Vertical blinds, tracked shutters or Perfect Fit blinds on each door panel all work well, depending on how often you open the doors and how much light you want. ## Kitchens and bathrooms Wooden or faux-wood Venetian blinds are easy to wipe clean and control light precisely, making them a practical choice for kitchens. For bathrooms, moisture-resistant shutters or Venetian blinds handle steam without warping. Wooden Venetian blinds start from approximately £180 per window. ## Gardens and patios New gardens are often open and without shade for the first few years. A retractable awning makes a south-facing patio usable on hot days. Budget awnings start from approximately £1,350 installed, with motorised top-specification models from approximately £2,800. ## A simple plan for your new home - Book a free home survey soon after you receive your keys. - Prioritise bedrooms and street-facing rooms first. - Choose Perfect Fit blinds where you want to avoid drilling new frames. - Consider an awning once you know how you use the garden.We survey, supply and fit everything ourselves from our base in Ludlow, under an hour from Bridgnorth, and every installation comes with a 10-year written installation guarantee.
