Howick houses are mostly established family homes, which means bay windows, generous living rooms and a fair amount of afternoon sun coming in off the east. They are also usually lived-in, so anything we fit has to work around existing furniture, curtains and the way the family actually uses the rooms.
For a bay window a roller blind is often the least fussy answer: three narrow blinds on one continuous line, or a shaped headrail if the bay is angled. Where the room already has good curtains, a sunscreen roller behind them gives you daytime control without touching what is already there.
Why roller blinds suit Howick homes
Howick is twenty-four minutes from our Manurewa workshop, so we group East Auckland jobs into the same day. We also cover Pakuranga, Botany Downs, Bucklands Beach and Mellons Bay on the same run.
What we fit in Howick
Roller blinds
The simplest answer for bay windows and standard joinery, with fabrics from light-filtering through to full blockout.
See roller blinds →Plantation shutters
Popular in Howick for street-facing rooms: privacy and light control without a fabric to clean.
See plantation shutters →Curtains and drapes
For the main living room, curtains plus a roller behind them gives both softness and control.

Measure and quote
We come to you in Howick, measure every window and talk through fabrics in the room where they will hang.
Made to measure
Your blinds are cut and assembled for your windows, not trimmed down from a standard size.
Installed
We fit the brackets and hang the blinds, then check every one runs properly before we leave.
Questions we get in Howick
Do you travel to Howick for a measure?
Yes. It is twenty-four minutes from the workshop and we group East Auckland visits. The in-home measure and quote is free with a minimum of five blinds.
Can you fit blinds in a bay window?
Yes, and it needs measuring on site. Bays are rarely a standard shape, so the blind arrangement is decided once we can see the angles and the depth of the reveal.
We already have curtains. Can we keep them?
Often yes. A slim roller fitted inside the reveal works alongside existing curtains, which is a common setup for us in East Auckland.
Do you repair blinds in Howick as well as supply new ones?
Yes, repairs are a normal part of the work: cords, tilt mechanisms, rollers and slats.
