Custom Made Skylight Blinds in East Kent

Skylight and roof window blinds are essential for controlling intense sunlight, heat buildup, and glare in loft conversions, extensions, and sunrooms. Because these windows sit at an angle, they require specialized, tensioned blinds that fit perfectly within the frame without sagging.

Based in Ramsgate, the team at Blindsfitted.com provides a complete home survey, measuring, and fitting service across the entire East Kent area. We supply and install custom-made roof blinds for all major window brands, ensuring a flawless fit and smooth operation.

Perfect Fit for Major Roof Window Brands

You don’t need to worry about measuring complex roof windows or finding the right model code. We supply premium, compatible blinds for all leading manufacturers, including:

  • VELUX®
  • Fakro®
  • Keylite®
  • RoofLITE®
  • Dakstra®

How we find your size: Every genuine skylight window has a small metal data plate hidden on the top frame (visible when you open the window). Our installers will locate this plate to read the exact model code (e.g., VELUX GGL MK04). This guarantees that your custom blind fits your specific window perfectly down to the millimetre.

Types of Skylight Blinds We Offer

  • Blackout Roof Blinds: Ideal for loft bedrooms and nurseries. These blinds feature a light-blocking fabric and run inside sleek side channels to prevent light leakage around the edges, ensuring a dark, restful night's sleep.
  • Thermal & Pleated Blinds: Features a cellular "honeycomb" structure that traps air. This keeps your loft room cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat and warmer in the winter by preventing heat from escaping through the glass. 
  • Translucent / Dim-Out Blinds: Perfect for home offices, kitchens, and living extensions. They reduce harsh solar glare on TV and computer screens while still allowing soft, natural daylight to filter into the room.

Operation Options for Hard-to-Reach Windows

Roof windows are often high up and difficult to open by hand. We offer three convenient ways to operate your skylight blinds:

  1. Manual Handle: Ideal for lower, within-reach skylights.
  2. Telescopic Operating Pole: A lightweight, adjustable pole that allows you to easily hook and slide manual blinds on high ceilings.
  3. Motorised & Solar-Powered: The ultimate luxury for high or inaccessible windows. These blinds feature a built-in motor operated by a remote control or smartphone app. Solar-powered options recharge themselves naturally using daylight, requiring zero wiring or charging cables.

Can I get blackout blinds for my skylight?

Yes. Our skylight blackout blinds are enclosed in brushed aluminium side rails. This framework stops light from peeking through the sides, making them highly effective for bedrooms and cinema rooms

Do I need to measure my own skylight window?

No. Our local team handles all the technical measurements during your free home visit. We locate the manufacturer's code on your window frame to ensure your new blind is built to the exact specifications of your specific window model.

Can you fit blinds to high roof windows?

Yes. We install blinds on high ceiling windows and offer both telescopic poles and fully motorised, remote-controlled options so you can operate them effortlessly from ground level. 

How long does it take from measurement to installation?

Our custom skylight blinds are typically manufactured and ready for professional installation within 2 to 3 weeks from the date you place your order.
