Blind & Curtain Fitting in London

The blinds are in their boxes and the windows are still bare — the classic new-home limbo. A vetted pro fits every blind and curtain pole in one visit: level, drilled into the right fixings, child-safe, and working. Fixed price in the app in about two minutes.

Blinds live in their boxes for months because the first hole hits a concrete lintel. A vetted pro with the right drill fits every window in one visit — level, secure, child-safe — at one fixed price agreed before you book.

Every window, one visit

How pricing works

You get a fixed price for the whole visit in the Jack All Trades app before you book — priced per window, not per hour of drilling suspense.

Tell JACK how many windows, what is going up at each one — roller, venetian, roman, vertical, curtain pole, or track — and add photos of a couple of the windows. The price reflects the count and the walls: London window reveals hide concrete lintels and steel that eat cheap drill bits for breakfast, and a pro prices for reality. You will have a fixed price in about two minutes.

The per-window maths rewards doing the whole place at once: the second to tenth windows each cost far less than the first, because the tools, ladder, and dust sheets are already out. One visit, every window dressed.

How it works

Step 1

Count the windows, show JACK

How many windows, what goes on each, and photos of one or two — especially any bay windows or high ones. Two minutes.

Step 2

Get a fixed price and pick a slot

One fixed price for the full visit, confirmed before you book — evenings and weekends included, often next-day.

Step 3

Every window dressed in one visit

Level, drilled into the right fixings, cords made child-safe, mechanisms tested, and the packaging tidied away.

What's included in a fitting visit

The fixed price covers every window on the list — fitted properly, not just attached.

  • Every blind and pole fitted level, into fixings that match the wall or lintel
  • Child-safety cleats and tensioners fitted as standard on all corded blinds
  • Mechanisms tested, cords trimmed to length, brackets tightened
  • Old window dressings removed and holes made good when you ask
  • Packaging flattened and taken to the recycling pile, sills dusted off

What gets fitted every week

If it covers a window, a vetted pro has fitted it — usually a dozen this week:

  • Roller, venetian, roman, vertical, and day-and-night blinds
  • Blackout blinds in bedrooms and nurseries — fitted tight to actually black out
  • Curtain poles and tracks, including heavy double-width curtains
  • Bay window poles with the corner bends and extra brackets done right
  • Perfect-fit and no-drill blinds clipped into uPVC frames
  • Venetian and roller blinds inside or outside the recess — measured judgement, made honestly
  • Motorised and smart blinds paired with their apps and remotes
  • Old blinds taken down and holes made good before the new ones go up

The London window facts worth knowing

Blind fitting looks like four screws until the drill meets the lintel. What a pro brings:

  • Concrete lintels and steel above London windows need SDS drills and the right bits — the number-one reason DIY blind fitting stalls at hole one
  • Child safety is law, not preference: looped cords must be secured with cleats or tensioners (EN 13120), fitted as standard on every job
  • Inside-recess needs the blind sized to the tightest point of the recess — pros measure at three heights before drilling anything
  • uPVC frames take clip-in perfect-fit blinds with no drilling — good for rentals where the landlord says no holes
  • Plasterboard reveals need proper anchors, not the plugs from the packet, or the blind comes down with the first hard tug

Frequently asked questions

What if the blind I bought is slightly wrong for the recess?

Often still fittable — outside-recess mounting, packers, or trimming (on some blind types) rescue most near-misses. Send the blind size and a photo of the recess in the app and get an honest answer before the visit.

Do you hang the curtains too, or just the pole?

Both — poles fitted and curtains hung, hooked, and dressed. Heavy or double-width curtains are exactly when a second pair of hands earns its keep.

Where do you cover?

All London boroughs, seven days a week, with evening and weekend slots often available.

How much does blind fitting cost in London?

It depends on how many windows and what is going up at each one — JACK confirms one fixed price for the whole visit in the app before you book, in about two minutes. Fitting the whole flat in one visit prices far better per window than booking blinds one at a time.

Do you supply the blinds or do I buy them?

You buy the blinds and curtains you want — that keeps you in control of style and budget — and the pro fits them. Ordered but unsure on sizes? Ask JACK in the app before you order and get a measuring answer first.

How long does it take to fit blinds?

Roughly 20-30 minutes per straightforward window once set up, longer for bay windows, tracks, and high reveals. A whole one-bed flat is typically a half-day visit.

My walls seem too hard to drill — is that normal?

Very. Most London window openings have a concrete or steel lintel above them, which stops ordinary drills dead. Pros carry SDS drills and masonry bits as standard, which is why the job takes minutes instead of a ruined Saturday.

Can you fit blinds in a bay window?

Yes — bays are the fiddliest window dressing there is, whether it is a multi-part pole with corner bends or individual blinds per section. Send a photo of the bay in the app so the pro arrives with the right brackets.

Are the blinds fitted child-safe?

Always. UK regulations require looped cords and chains to be secured with cleats or tensioners, and pros fit them as standard on every blind — nurseries and children's rooms get flagged for cordless or tensioned options too.

Can you take down the old blinds and fill the holes?

Yes — removal, hole filling, and touch-up before the new fitting is a normal part of the visit. Moving out and taking your blinds with you? That is the same job in reverse, and pairs well with an end-of-tenancy repairs visit.

Renting — can blinds go up without drilling?

Often, yes: perfect-fit and clip-in blinds mount to uPVC window frames with no holes, and tension-fit options work in some recesses. Say it is a rental in the app and the pro will tell you honestly what works for your windows.
