What actually matters in a hallway
Every Ashton-on-Mersey hallway project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:
- Front-door glass and side-panel privacy
- High stairwell windows (safe reach)
- Landing-window heat loss above a radiator
- Matching an entrance-hall paint scheme

Our default hallway specification
Across Ashton-on-Mersey hallways we mostly fit:
- Perfect-fit cellular (sidelights)
- Motorised roller (high stairwell)
- Roman blind (formal entrance hall)
Perfect-fit clips onto the sidelight beading without drilling — clean fit on new front doors.
Motorised stairwell blinds are operated from a landing wall switch — no reach, no rope, no ladder.
