Blinds & curtains in Edgeley
Blinds & curtains for Edgeley homes and businesses: poles, tracks, roller, Venetian, vertical and Roman blinds fitted level and square — including bay windows, deep reveals and blackout linings for children's rooms. Walls around SK3 are solid brick outer walls with crumbly Victorian plaster, so holes are drilled clean and made good rather than punched through, which is exactly what decides how blind and curtain fitting is done here.
Edgeley accounted for roughly 93 blind and curtain fitting visits in the past year. 97% needed no return trip, helped by planning around on-street parking a short carry from the front door, with long boards angled through the hall rather than the rear alley before anybody sets off.

Blinds & curtains for Edgeley homes and businesses
What is covered locally, how the Edgeley price is worked out and what happens on the day.
Blinds & curtains in Edgeley is priced per visit, worked out from the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals. Housing across SK3 is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and the walls run to solid brick outer walls with crumbly Victorian plaster, so holes are drilled clean and made good rather than punched through, both of which change how blind and curtain fitting has to be approached here.
Done badly, a pole fixed only into plaster above a window pulls out the first time heavy blackout curtains are drawn hard. We would rather spend the first ten minutes testing the wall and the floor than come back — a typical Edgeley visit takes around 64 minutes and finishes properly.
Work is carried out by DBS-checked, £1m-insured tradespeople who sort Stockport Council parking themselves, with a fixed written price back within 1 hours. Need more than this one job? It can be added to a handyman visit in Edgeley or booked alongside house removals in Edgeley.
Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity. Locally, people search for Roman blind installation, bay window curtain pole, roller blind fitting and Venetian blind installation — all the same booking: one insured tradesperson, the right kit and a fixed price. We also handle blackout blind fitting and vertical blinds office for Edgeley landlords and letting agents between tenancies.
A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
What blind and curtain fitting in Edgeley actually involves
The stock here is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and what a drill meets is nine-inch brick downstairs, timber-and-plaster partitions upstairs and the occasional later block infill in the back bedroom. That single fact governs blind and curtain fitting in SK3 — it sets the anchor, the drilling method and how long the visit realistically needs to be.
Practically, the van deals with residents’ bay parking close to the door and a planned route past the stair spindles for large boards, and any Stockport Council permit is our problem rather than yours. A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
Edgeley wall types, fixings and hanging heights
Pre-set for Edgeley stock — dense two-up two-down terraces with rear alleys, plus interwar semis on the fringe. Victorian and by-law terraces usually measure 2.6–2.9m downstairs. Change the wall type, ceiling height or job and the recommended fixing and hanging height update with it.
Recommended for Edgeley
Curtain pole / track on solid brick
- Hanging height
- 260cm
- Safe working load
- ~68kg
bracket line above finished floor
over 3 fixing points · item typically 3–15kg
Fixing: 8mm frame fixing or nylon plug with a 5 × 70mm screw into brick, not perp joint
Drilling: Hammer mode, masonry bit, 60–70mm embedment past the plaster.
Watch for: Avoid the mortar perps — they crumble. Old lime-bound brick prefers resin to expansion.
On the day: Fix 100–150mm below the ceiling and 150mm past each side of the reveal so the curtain clears the glass.
Guidance only — every Edgeley visit starts with a cable, pipe and substrate scan, and the fitter confirms the anchor against the actual wall before drilling.
Edgeley windows: reveal, drop and what we fix into
Edgeley leads with bay window curtain poles, corner-jointed tracks and long-drop curtains. Picture rails, deep cornices and shutter boxes all limit how high the bracket line can sit, so the drop is set on site, so the measure is taken on site before anything is ordered or drilled.
- Typical window profile
- original sash windows and full-height Victorian bays
- Reveal and mounting
- deep but rarely square reveals — bays need measuring at three points because the openings have moved
- Typical curtain drop
- long 220–260cm drops under high ceilings, often stopped short by an original picture rail
- Above the opening
- solid brick above the reveal with lath and plaster on the returns and cornice line
- Fixing method
- long fixings taken past the plaster into brick, with bay poles either bent or joined on site using corner connectors
- Typical fitting time
- 45–75 minutes for a bay, 25–35 minutes for a standard sash
Every blind with a cord or chain leaves with the safety device fitted and tensioned to BS EN 13120, whatever the window type — standard on every Stockport visit, at no extra cost.
How blinds & curtains works in Edgeley
- 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. Send SK3 photos and the Edgeley figure lands within 1 hours.
- 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. Around Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County it is a permit space on the terrace, with panels brought in through the front rather than round the back entry that shapes the visit.
- 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. Most SK3 jobs of this type are done inside 64 minutes.
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 Edgeley 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
- Child-safety devices fitted to every corded blind
- Old fittings removed and the wall filled
- 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 Stockport books us for blinds and curtain fitting
Fixed into the lintel
We find the structure above the window rather than trusting plaster and a brown plug. That is the part Edgeley customers ask about most before booking.
Bays done properly
Angles measured and set out on site, so the pole follows the bay instead of cutting the corner.
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.

About Edgeley
Tight-knit Stockport district built around the railway works and Edgeley Park. For blind and curtain fitting the detail that matters is what sits behind the plaster — old solid brick behind a soft lime skim, with the odd blocked-up chimney breast that swallows a fixing if it is not scanned first — and where the van can legally stand under Stockport Council rules. Both are settled before the visit across SK3, roughly 5,900 households inside our no-travel-charge radius.

Blinds & curtains in Edgeley — your questions
Prices, timings, what suits local walls and parking around Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County under Stockport Council rules.
Can you do blind and curtain fitting in Edgeley today?
86% of Edgeley bookings are offered a same or next-day slot. Send photos and the details before midday and there is usually someone with you that afternoon, with the visit length agreed up front.
Will this work on Edgeley walls and floors?
Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are nine-inch brick downstairs, timber-and-plaster partitions upstairs and the occasional later block infill in the back bedroom, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard Edgeley job takes around 64 minutes.
Where will you park in Edgeley?
Access here is typically on-street parking a short carry from the front door, with long boards angled through the hall rather than the rear alley. Stockport Council controls parking in SK3, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.
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. Nothing changes for Edgeley — Stockport rates are identical.
Are your tradespeople insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. Everyone attending a Edgeley job is DBS-checked, reference-verified and covered by £1m public liability insurance. You get their name before the visit and they carry photo ID.
Can I add other jobs to the same visit?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy the time. Blinds & curtains sits happily alongside anything else on our handyman list — send the whole list and we will price it as one Edgeley visit rather than several call-outs.
What sort of windows are we fitting to in Edgeley?
Most Edgeley homes have original sash windows and full-height Victorian bays, with deep but rarely square reveals — bays need measuring at three points because the openings have moved. That decides whether the blind sits in the recess or on the face, and whether a pole or a ceiling track gives the better line. Typical curtain drop here is long 220–260cm drops under high ceilings, often stopped short by an original picture rail, and a window takes around 45–75 minutes for a bay.
Can you drill above the window in a Edgeley property?
Yes. Above the opening here is usually solid brick above the reveal with lath and plaster on the returns and cornice line. We scan for cables and pipes first, then use long fixings taken past the plaster into brick, with bay poles either bent or joined on site using corner connectors. Where drilling is not wanted at all — uPVC frames, a lease or a landlord condition — perfect-fit and tension systems cover most windows without a single hole.
Send photos and the details and we will come back with a fixed price. The form is preselected for blinds & curtains in Edgeley.
