Integral Blinds in Basildon
sealed inside the glass.

Integral blinds are aluminium venetian slats sealed inside the double glazed unit itself. In Basildon we fit them into the existing frames of the town's 1960s to 1990s uPVC housing stock, which means you get built-in blinds without a new window and without replacing a single frame.

Local knowledge

What integral blinds suit Basildon homes.

Basildon's new-town housing runs from original 1960s Fryerns and Lee Chapel properties through to the 1980s Laindon estates and the newer Noak Bridge and Pitsea developments. Most of these homes have standard rectangular casements with 4mm glass in a 28mm unit, which is exactly the format integral blind units are built to. Because the frames are usually sound, we replace the glass only, which is why adding integral blinds here costs a fraction of a full window replacement.

Our workshop is in Laindon (SS15), so Basildon is the one place we can normally survey the same week you call and often the same day.

We regularly work across Laindon, Pitsea, Vange, Lee Chapel, Fryerns, Kingswood, Noak Bridge and Crays Hill. If your frames are sound we swap the sealed unit only, which is the same approach we use for misty double glazing repairs and our wider window repair work in Basildon.

Where they work best

The rooms we fit most in Basildon.

Bathrooms and en-suites

The most common Basildon job. Fabric and plastic venetian blinds warp and grow mould in a small steamy bathroom. A sealed-in blind never touches room air, so nothing warps and nothing needs wiping.

Kitchens above the hob

Grease settles on any blind hung near a hob. Sealed inside the glass, the slats stay clean permanently, and the pane itself wipes down in seconds.

Street-facing front rooms

Lots of Basildon front windows sit close to the pavement. Tilting the slats gives you daytime privacy without net curtains and without losing the light.

Rear patio and French doors

Nothing to swing or slam when the door moves, which is the main reason Basildon customers choose them for the back of the house.

How it works

Survey to fitted, step by step.

1Free 15-minute survey at your Basildon address, including exact pane sizes and a check that the frames are sound.
2Fixed written price, with manual and motorised options priced separately so you can compare.
3Made to measure at the factory, typically two to three weeks from order.
4Fitted in one visit, usually 30 minutes per window, and we take the old glass away.

Pricing for integral blinds is available on request. There are several blind types and the cost varies widely with slat style, pane size and control method, so we quote a fixed figure after the survey rather than a misleading guide price.
