Blinds & curtains across all ten boroughs
Blinds & curtains in Greater Manchester is carried out by insured, DBS-checked tradespeople who arrive with the tools, fixings and ladder already on the van. Poles, tracks, roller, Venetian, vertical and Roman blinds fitted level and square — including bay windows, deep reveals and blackout linings for children's rooms.
Where blind and curtain fitting is concerned, the borough matters less than the wall: cast-iron-backed mill brick in Ancoats, dot-and-dab board around MediaCity, block-and-plaster in Bury and Stockport. Every area page below sets out the local wall build-up, the access and the realistic timings, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Booking is by the visit and priced on the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals, agreed in writing before anyone travels. A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
What blinds and curtain fitting is like across Greater Manchester
Pricing is set by the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals, not by an hourly meter, so the number you agree is the number you pay. A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
Before anyone is dispatched for blind and curtain fitting we settle the substrate, the floor level and the parking. Those three decide the fixing, the tool and the time on site far more than the postcode does. a pole fixed only into plaster above a window pulls out the first time heavy blackout curtains are drawn hard
How blinds & curtains works
- Step 1
Measure and decide the fix
Recess or face fix changes the light gap, the projection and the fixing. We measure the reveal and the lintel position before anything is marked.
- Step 2
Fixed into something solid
Above a window there is often a concrete lintel, a steel or nothing much at all. We find out which, and use the anchor that suits it.
- Step 3
Hung, tested, tidied
Blinds are run through their full travel, poles loaded with the curtains, safety devices fitted, old fittings taken away and holes filled.
Before we arrive
- Have the blinds, poles and curtains on site and unpacked
- Decide recess or face fix if you have a preference
- Clear the window area and move furniture back a metre
- Say whether old poles and blinds are to be removed
Worth knowing
- Curtains should clear the radiator or they push heat behind them
- Bay poles are usually cheaper bent to fit than jointed in sections
- Recess-fit blinds need a reveal deep enough for the barrel
- Corded blinds legally need a child-safety restraint in the UK
What is included in every Greater Manchester visit
- Lintel and cavity checked so fixings land in something solid
- Height and projection set so curtains clear the radiator and the sill
- Bays measured and set out before anything is cut or drilled

- Curtain poles, finials, tracks and corded systems fitted level and centred
- Bay window poles and bendable tracks set to the angles of the bay
- Roller, Venetian, vertical, Roman and pleated blinds, face or recess fixed
- Blackout linings and child-safety chain restraints fitted as standard
- Motorised and battery blinds fitted, charged and paired to the remote
- Old poles, tracks and blinds removed and holes made good
Why Greater Manchester books us for blinds and curtain fitting
The same vetted trade team, the same written price and the same guarantee in every borough — from Wigan and Bolton through to Stockport and Tameside. a pole fixed only into plaster above a window pulls out the first time heavy blackout curtains are drawn hard
Level across the window
A blind that is two millimetres out shows against the frame all day. We set from the frame, not from the ceiling.
Fixed into the lintel
We find the structure above the window rather than trusting plaster and a brown plug.
Bays done properly
Angles measured and set out on site, so the pole follows the bay instead of cutting the corner.

About Greater Manchester
Across the county's 2.9 million residents the build eras stack up: mill-era brick in the inner ring, block-and-plaster interwar semis in the suburbs, and metal-stud or dot-and-dab board in everything raised near the Quays since 2005.
We plan blind and curtain fitting around that reality rather than a national script, because the wrong fixing in the wrong wall is what causes call-backs. Every area page below sets out the wall types, access and parking rules for that specific place.

Blinds & curtains in Greater Manchester — your questions
Can you fit blinds in a bay window?
Yes — either separate blinds per pane or a bendable track shaped to the bay's angles. We measure each facet individually because bays are rarely symmetrical.
Do you fit blinds bought online?
Regularly. Bring the product and the brackets and we will fit them. If a made-to-measure blind arrives the wrong size we will tell you before drilling anything.
Will the fixings hold heavy blackout curtains?
They will once they are in the lintel or a proper cavity fixing. Heavy linings are exactly why so many poles pull out — we size the fixing for a loaded pole, not an empty one.
How much is blind and curtain fitting in Greater Manchester?
Single blind or pole starts at from £69 and whole-house / office day is from £229. Prices are the same in all ten boroughs — the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals is what changes the figure, not the postcode.
Which parts of Greater Manchester do you cover?
All ten boroughs and 115 named areas, from Manchester city centre and Salford Quays out to Bolton, Wigan, Rochdale, Stockport and the Tameside edge. Each area has its own page with local wall types, access notes and timings.
How quickly can you come out?
Most bookings are offered a same or next-day slot, with a written fixed price back within a few hours of your enquiry. Weekend and evening visits carry no surcharge.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes. It is agreed in writing before anyone travels. If the job on site turns out to be different from the one described, we tell you before starting and agree any change — we never present a surprise at the end.
