How a Maidstone job typically runs
Most Maidstone surveys are scheduled within the week. We’re ten miles north in Rochester, so the trip is short. Barry (our founder) does the surveys personally – measures every window, brings the fabric library, and emails a written quote within working hours of leaving the property. There’s no charge for the visit.
Once the order’s confirmed, the blinds are made by our British workshop partners. Lead times vary by format: roller blinds in 2-4 weeks, romans in 4-6 weeks, vision and motorised in 3-5 weeks. We confirm an exact delivery date when we schedule the install.
Install is single-visit. Most rooms take 20-30 minutes per blind. Whole-house jobs are typically completed in a half day. We tidy up before leaving.
Shutters in Kent
Three towns in one - and three different blind specifications
There isn’t really one Maidstone. There are three. The Victorian centre, the Edwardian inner suburbs, and the modern new build fringes. Each takes blinds differently, and the spec you’d choose for one is wrong for another.
Maidstone One: the Victorian centre
The first Maidstone is the Victorian terraces in central streets. Sash windows, modest bay fronts, narrow frontages, ground-floor rooms close to the road. The blinds that work here are the ones that handle daytime privacy without dominating the room’s footprint.
Front-room terraces facing the busy roads (Tonbridge Road, parts of Loose Road) typically get sheer roller blinds or vision (day-and-night) blinds. The sheer fabric gives privacy from passers-by while letting daylight through. Back rooms get whatever the homeowner prefers – rollers, romans, sometimes vertical blinds for patio doors at the back.
Maidstone Two: Edwardian Loose, Tovil and the inner suburbs
The second Maidstone is the Edwardian semis spreading out from the centre toward Loose and Tovil. Larger plots, generous bay fronts, longer streets with consistent housing. The blinds that work here are different – bay windows are the dominant feature, and the install needs to handle multi-section bays without looking patchwork.
Full-length roman blinds in linen weaves or mid-weight performance fabrics suit Edwardian bay windows well. Each section of the bay gets its own panel, sized individually, with the fabric coordinating across the bay. Rollers work too, particularly where the homeowner wants a cleaner architectural finish.
Maidstone Three: modern Park Wood, Bearsted and the southern fringes
Spread across the entire county. Ground-floor terraces, semi-detached suburban homes, larger villas in the commuter belt. Sash windows, modest bay fronts, simple frame work. Tier-on-tier-style blinds (top down/bottom up rollers) work well; cafe-style equivalent setups suit ground-floor street-facing rooms.

why choose us
Why Choose The VIP Shutter Co
Choosing a made to measure window treatment is a long term investment, and the company you trust to deliver it matters just as much as the product itself. Here is why Kent homeowners, from period townhouses in Rochester to coastal properties in Folkestone, continue to choose The VIP Shutter Co year after year.
Carpenter Led Installation
Our founder, Barry, is a qualified carpenter with more than 25 years on the tools. Every shutter is scribed, shimmed, and finished to a cabinetmaker’s standard, which is an attention to detail that mass market shutter companies rarely match.
20+ years of experience
We have fitted shutters in every style of Kent home, from Medway terraces to Tunbridge Wells Victorians. We know what works and we will tell you if something does not.
Demonstrable Energy Efficiency
Independent testing has shown that a well fitted plantation shutter can cut heat loss through a window by up to 52 per cent. For a family with large bay windows or a period home with single glazing, the savings on heating bills can be considerable year on year.
Genuinely Local, Not a National Franchise
We are a small family team in Rochester who have measured, fitted, and serviced thousands of windows across Kent. We understand period sashes in Faversham, conservation area rules in Tunbridge Wells, and the particular demands of coastal properties from Whitstable to Folkestone.

Protect Your Privacy and Style with Quality Blinds
We all want to feel safe and secure in our own homes. But did you know that your window coverings can play a big role in ensuring your privacy? At VIP Shutters, we understand the importance of having quality blinds that not only provide privacy but also add style to your home.
Now, you might be thinking, “But I can just use curtains or drapes instead of blinds.”While curtains and drapes certainly have their benefits, they may not be as effective at blocking out unwanted light or prying eyes. That’s where our high-quality blinds come in!
Here are 4 reasons why investing in our blinds is a smart choice:
1. Our custom-made blinds fit perfectly to your windows.
2. You’ll have complete control over how much light enters your room.
3. Our blinds offer superior insulation for energy efficiency.
4. They’re easy to clean and maintain.
Don’t compromise on privacy or style when it comes to choosing window coverings for your home. Let VIP Shutters provide you with the perfect solution that meets both needs!
