Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about ordering, delivery, samples, returns, made-to-measure services and visiting TM Interiors. Where a subject needs more detail, we link to the relevant policy or service page.

Ordering & Payment

Before & after you order

Do you hold all products in stock?

No. We do not generally hold stock of the full range shown online. Many products are ordered from the manufacturer or supplier after your order is placed. If availability or a particular deadline is important, please contact us before ordering and we will be happy to check.

Why do you take payment before an item is despatched?

Many of the products we sell are ordered specifically from the relevant manufacturer or supplier once your order is placed with us. Taking payment allows us to place and secure that supplier order rather than waiting until the goods physically reach us.

How can I pay online?

Online card and payment transactions are processed securely through PayPal/Braintree. The payment options available for your order are shown during checkout.

Can I order by telephone or email?

Yes. You can contact us on 01733 230499 or email info@tm-interiors.co.uk. We can help check product information, availability and delivery before progressing your order.

How can I request a quotation?

Where a product page offers a Request a Quote option, use that to send us the product details and your requirements. You can also email us or telephone the showroom. For made-to-measure work, include approximate measurements and photographs where possible.

Why has a product price changed since my last visit?

Manufacturer prices, promotions, exchange rates and supplier price lists can change. The current selling price is shown on the product page or confirmed in your quotation. If you have found the same product for less elsewhere, see our Price Match Policy.

Are website prices inclusive of VAT?

Consumer-facing prices are shown inclusive of VAT where VAT applies. Where an ex-VAT price is also displayed, it is provided as additional information.

Can I change or add something to an order?

Sometimes. Contact us as soon as possible. If the supplier order has not progressed too far we may be able to amend it. If goods have already been ordered, cut, manufactured or despatched, changes may not be possible and a separate order may be required.

Delivery

Charges, timings & couriers

How much is standard UK delivery?

Standard UK mainland delivery is £11 including VAT for orders under £100. Orders over £100 are delivered free within the UK mainland.

Additional charges apply to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly. Any applicable surcharge is shown at checkout.

How long does delivery take?

Our general delivery aim is approximately 3–5 working days unless the product page states otherwise. Because many products are ordered from suppliers rather than held by us, lead times can vary by brand and stock location.

Do you offer express or next-day delivery?

Express delivery may be available by arrangement, depending on the product, brand and supplier stock position. Please contact us before ordering and we will check the earliest available delivery and any additional charge.

Which couriers do you use?

We commonly use UPS, although other couriers, manufacturers or suppliers may deliver directly where appropriate.

Can I track my order?

We send despatch confirmation and tracking information where it is available. For UPS deliveries, services such as UPS My Choice may also allow you to manage certain delivery preferences directly with the courier.

Can I have my order sent to a different address?

Yes, where the checkout or order process allows it. If you need goods from the same order sent to more than one address, contact us before ordering because additional delivery charges may apply.

Can I request delivery on a particular date?

Tell us your preferred date and we will do our best to help, but a requested date is not guaranteed unless we expressly confirm it. Supplier availability and courier services can affect what is possible.

What should I do if my parcel arrives damaged?

Contact us promptly with your order number and photographs of the packaging and affected product where possible. We will investigate with the courier or supplier and arrange the appropriate next step. Please keep the packaging until we have advised you what to do.

Do you deliver internationally?

International delivery is available for many products, but not every brand, product or destination can be supplied internationally. Use the checkout option where available, or contact us with the product, quantity and destination and we will confirm what is possible.

For full current delivery information, see our Delivery Information page.

Samples

Seeing colour, texture & scale before ordering

Can I order fabric and wallpaper samples?

Yes, where a sample is available. Use the Order Sample option on the relevant product page and complete the order through checkout.

Do you hold sample stock?

We do not generally hold sample stock ourselves. Samples are supplied through the relevant manufacturers and suppliers, so availability and despatch times can vary.

What size are the samples?

Fabric samples are generally around 10cm × 10cm. Wallpaper samples vary by manufacturer and are commonly around A6 to A4. Exact sizes are determined by the supplier.

How much do samples cost?

Sample prices vary by brand and supplier. The current sample price is shown when ordering or at checkout.

Why is postage charged on sample-only orders?

Sample-only orders are handled separately from standard product orders. Postage is calculated according to the number of samples and destination and is shown at checkout.

What if I order samples together with standard products?

There is no separate sample delivery charge when samples are ordered together with standard products. The normal delivery charge for the product order applies.

Why might my samples arrive separately?

Samples can come from different manufacturers and suppliers. For larger sample orders across several suppliers, please allow approximately 10–14 days and expect that packages may arrive separately.

Do you offer large returnable samples?

We no longer operate a returnable-sample service by post. Returnable samples may sometimes be available through the showroom, subject to availability and a separate charge. Contact us if you need to view a larger piece.

For the full current process, see our Sample Service.

Returns, Cancellations & Changes

What happens if you change your mind or there is a problem

Can I return a standard product bought online?

For eligible standard products bought online, by telephone or by email, you normally have 14 days after receiving the goods to tell us that you wish to cancel, followed by a further 14 days to return them.

Please contact us before sending anything back so we can confirm the correct return procedure and address.

Can made-to-measure or bespoke products be returned?

Products made specifically to your measurements or specification can fall outside the statutory change-of-mind cancellation right. This may include made-to-measure curtains, Roman blinds, headboards, cushions and other bespoke furnishings.

Faulty, damaged or misdescribed bespoke goods remain subject to your statutory rights.

Can fabric or trimming cut to my required length be returned?

Cut-to-order material may fall within the exception for goods made to a customer's specifications. Where a statutory change-of-mind return is not available, we may still be able to ask the supplier whether it will accept the material back on a discretionary basis.

Any discretionary return is subject to supplier approval and may involve handling, restocking and return carriage charges. We will confirm the position before authorising a return.

I have unopened wallpaper rolls left over. Can I return them?

We do not normally accept individual surplus rolls from a larger wallpaper order. Wallpaper is ordered specifically from our suppliers for each customer and is supplied in dye batches. Because we do not hold general wallpaper stock, isolated rolls returned from a completed order cannot normally be put back into stock for resale.

If a supplier is willing to accept a discretionary return, we may be able to arrange this, but it will normally require the full unused order rather than individual surplus rolls and may be subject to the supplier's approval, batch requirements, return carriage and handling charges. We will confirm any applicable conditions before a return is authorised.

This does not affect any statutory cancellation or consumer rights that apply to your purchase.

What if I ordered the wrong colour?

Contact us as soon as possible. Whether an order can be changed or returned depends on the product and how far the supplier order or manufacturing process has progressed. This is particularly important for cut material, mixed paint and bespoke products.

What if an item is faulty, damaged or incorrect?

Contact us promptly with your order number and photographs where possible. If a potential problem becomes apparent while cutting, hanging, fitting or using fabric, wallpaper or another material, stop work where reasonably possible and contact us before using more of it.

We will deal with faulty, damaged, misdescribed or incorrectly supplied goods in accordance with your statutory rights.

See our Returns & Refunds Policy and Terms & Conditions for full details.

Made to Measure & Installation

From fabric selection to fitting

Do you make made-to-measure curtains?

Yes. We offer made-to-measure curtains using fabrics from our extensive designer collection, with a choice of headings, linings and finishing options. We can also help with tracks, poles, measuring and fitting where required.

Do you make Roman blinds?

Yes. We make Roman blinds to order in suitable fabrics, with different lining and system options depending on the project. Measuring and professional installation can also be arranged where required.

Do you make headboards and cushions?

Yes. We offer bespoke headboards and made-to-measure cushions, along with selected soft furnishings including throws, quilts, bed valances, tablecloths and tie-backs.

Can you measure my windows?

Yes, where a professional site measure is appropriate to the project. We particularly recommend measuring for bay windows, custom-bent tracks or poles, motorised systems, difficult access and other non-standard installations.

Do you install curtains and blinds?

Yes. We work with experienced professional fitters and can arrange fitting throughout the UK mainland, subject to location, fitter availability, access and project requirements.

See our Curtain & Blind Installation page.

Can you help me choose fabrics, wallpapers and furnishings?

Yes. TM Interiors provides practical furnishing and decoration help based on decades of product and brand experience. We can help with fabrics, wallpapers, colour, pattern, scale, curtains, blinds, headboards, furnishings and decorative finishes.

See our Interior Furnishing & Decoration service.

Showroom & General

Visiting & getting help

Can I visit the TM Interiors showroom?

Yes. Our showroom is at Millisle House, 41 Culley Court, Bakewell Road, Peterborough, PE2 6XD. Our normal opening hours are Monday–Friday, 10:00am–4:30pm. Saturday and Sunday are closed.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are preferred rather than compulsory. Booking ahead means we can prepare relevant pattern books, samples or collections and make sure the right person is available to help.

Do you hold every fabric and wallpaper collection in the showroom?

No. We work with more than 100 designer brands and cannot permanently hold every collection in the showroom. If you want to see a particular brand or collection, contact us before travelling so we can advise what is available.

Do you offer a price match service?

If you find the same product elsewhere at a lower price, contact us before ordering with the product name, code and competing website or quotation. Certain offers and services are excluded. See our Price Match Policy.

How can I contact TM Interiors?

Call 01733 230499, email info@tm-interiors.co.uk, or use our Contact Us page.
