The drive
Fifteen Minutes Down the Bandon Road
Bandon is about fifteen minutes from our door in Enniskeane, fourteen kilometres east.
That is close enough that a measure is a short errand rather than a day out. Anyone who can get to North Main Street can get to us, and plenty of people call in on the way through to look at cloth before booking anything.

The houses
What We Fit in Bandon Houses
The town has a mix that keeps the vans busy. You will find tall old houses with the sash windows up around Kilbrogan Hill, and newer estates out the edges with square openings and a lot of glass.
Older rooms usually want curtains with weight in them. Newer ones often want a blind over the sink and something softer in the sitting room. Your window decides it, not the fashion.
Choosing
Curtains or Blinds
It comes down to the window and the room. A bright kitchen window over a sink wants a roller or a Venetian.
A cold sitting room with a big opening wants interlined curtains made to measure in Cork. A window on a footpath where you want light without an audience is the case for a pleated blind, and we fit every kind of blinds in Cork. We will say which we would do in your room.
Booking
How a Bandon Measure Is Arranged
Phone the shop, say roughly what you are looking at, and a fitter goes in the diary for Bandon.
It helps to have picked a rough direction first, so call into the showroom and go through the books if you can. Then the measure is quick, and the price comes back on the whole job in one figure.
The area
Around Bandon and Out the Valleys
We work the whole area around the town, not just the streets in it. Innishannon, Ballinadee, Kilbrittain, Newcestown, Crossbarry and Ballinhassig are all normal runs.
The Allin Institute end of town and the estates on the Cork road are five minutes apart for a van, so it makes no odds to us which side you are on.
Why here
Why Bandon Houses Come Back
You deal with the same two people from the first measure to the last hook. Your cloth is picked in the showroom with the daylight on it, your windows are measured by the fitter who will hang them, and your price comes back as one figure for the finished job rather than a list of parts.
Nothing is ordered until you have held the sample against your own wall. If a fabric is wrong for a south-facing room, you will hear that before you buy it rather than after.

What we make
F.A.Q.
Do you charge to come out to Bandon?
Ask when you ring. At fifteen minutes it is one of the closest towns on our list.
How soon can a fitter get to Bandon?
Usually quickly, because we are in the town most weeks. Ring and we will give you a day.
Can I bring a chair from Bandon to be re-covered?
Bring it into the shop in Enniskeane and the frame gets looked at with you standing there. Re-covering a single chair is ordinary work and does not need a van to come out.
Do you fit blinds in Bandon as well as curtains?
Both, often on the same visit. The kitchen usually takes a roller or a Venetian while the sitting room takes curtains, and we fit blinds in Cork right across the town.
What happens at a measure in Bandon?
A fitter calls to the house with the books, measures every window you want done, and writes the drop and the width down on the spot. You get one price for the finished job.
Can you match curtains to a room I have already decorated?
Bring a cushion, a paint chip or a photograph of the room into the showroom. Cloth reads differently under your own light, so take the sample home before you commit to it.
Do you make curtains for sash windows?
Sash windows are most of what the older end of the town has. They take a pole or a track set above the reveal rather than inside it, which changes the drop. We make curtains in Cork for that shape every week.
