West Elm Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod Fitting in London
The West Elm Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod curves back to the wall at each end, so blackout curtains close against the wall and stop light leaking at the sides. It comes in three length ranges rated 9, 18 and 27 kg. A vetted JACK pro fits it in London for a fixed price before you book.
In short
Yes. A vetted JACK pro in London fits the West Elm Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod, level and set wide enough that the curtains overlap the window frame. It is rated to 9 kg (71–122 cm), 18 kg (122–224 cm) or 27 kg (152–274 cm). Fixed price before you book.

How the Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod arrives
A wrap-around rod only blocks light if it is wider than the window and mounted high enough above it. The pro sets the width and height so the curtains overlap the frame at the sides and top. That suits bedrooms and nurseries.
What the pro does on the Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod
- Width and height set beyond the frame
- Brackets fixed level
- Blackout curtains hung and checked for gaps

How West Elm assembly is priced
A vetted pro prices your piece from the product link and a photo of the room, and the JACK app shows you that fixed price before you book.
The design moves the price far more than the size. A side table with screw-in legs is a short job. A solid-wood bed with a slatted base, a six-drawer dresser with runners to align, or a sectional sofa whose pieces clip together is a much longer one. Send the product link or a screenshot of the order so the price is for the piece you bought.
Several pieces from one delivery, such as a bed, two nightstands and a dresser, go on one booking for one price. Pieces from other shops can go on the same visit. Where parking has to be paid for, it is added at cost and agreed before you book.
Prefer to pay for the pro's time? Hourly hire works too: as a guide, furniture assembly is typically £35–£75 per hour. For a big delivery, a full-day handyman booking often suits: a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
How it works
Step 1
Share the piece and the room
Paste the West Elm product link or a screenshot of your order (not delivered yet? the link is enough to price from) and add a photo of the room. Mention stairs, a lift or a tight turn on the landing.
Step 2
See the price, pick a slot
A vetted pro prices the build from what you sent. Book once you are happy with the price, choosing a slot after your delivery date; evenings and weekends are available when pros have them.
Step 3
Built, checked, handed over
Parts are counted first, the piece is built and levelled, drawers and doors adjusted, tall pieces anchored and the packaging flattened for recycling. You follow it all in the JACK app.
Frequently asked questions
How wide should a blackout curtain rod be?
Wider than the window, so the curtains overlap the frame. The pro measures and sets it so no light shows at the sides.
How much does it cost to have a West Elm Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod fitted in London?
It is a fixed price for your Swoop Blockout Curtain Rod, worked out by a vetted pro from the product link and a photo of the room, and shown in the JACK app before you book. If you would rather pay for time, hourly hire is typically £35–£75 per hour as a guide, and a full day is a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
