Blinds & curtains in Ince-in-Makerfield
Booked by the visit and priced on the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals — 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 WN2 are double-brick ground floors and lath-and-plaster above, which means one anchor downstairs and a joist-hunt upstairs, which is exactly what decides how blind and curtain fitting is done here.

Access here usually means residents’ bay parking close to the door and a planned route past the stair spindles for large boards, so the van is loaded for it before we leave the depot.

Blinds & curtains for Ince-in-Makerfield homes and businesses
What is covered locally, how the Ince-in-Makerfield price is worked out and what happens on the day.
Ince-in-Makerfield blinds & curtains is quoted by the visit rather than by the hour. Properties across WN2 and WN3 are by-law terraced streets, and because the walls here are double-brick ground floors and lath-and-plaster above, which means one anchor downstairs and a joist-hunt upstairs, the fixings and tools are chosen before the van is loaded.
The thing that goes wrong when this job is rushed is simple: a pole fixed only into plaster above a window pulls out the first time heavy blackout curtains are drawn hard. That is why the substrate is tested before anything is committed, and why a typical Ince-in-Makerfield job runs to about 131 minutes rather than the twenty a quick quote implies.
The person attending is DBS-checked, reference-verified and covered by £5m public liability insurance; Wigan Council permits are handled by us and your quote lands inside 4 hours. Need more than this one job? It can be added to a handyman visit in Ince-in-Makerfield or booked alongside house removals in Ince-in-Makerfield.
Ince Public Hall events, Leeds–Liverpool canal-side paths, neighbourhood junior football and families with long roots in the old colliery rows. Locally, people search for bay window curtain pole, roller blind fitting, Venetian blind installation and blackout blind fitting — all the same booking: one insured tradesperson, the right kit and a fixed price. We also handle vertical blinds office and motorised blind installation for Ince-in-Makerfield landlords and letting agents between tenancies.
A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
Blinds and curtain fitting and the Ince-in-Makerfield housing stock
Ince-in-Makerfield is largely by-law terraced streets, and behind the decoration you find 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. For blind and curtain fitting that is the whole ball game: the fixing, the tool and the time on site are all decided by it, which is why we scan and test before committing to a position.
Then there is getting there: on-street parking a short carry from the front door, with long boards angled through the hall rather than the rear alley is the norm in Ince-in-Makerfield, under Wigan Council parking rules. We sort that in advance so no slot time disappears circling the block. A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
How blinds & curtains works in Ince-in-Makerfield
- 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 WN2 photos and the Ince-in-Makerfield figure lands within 4 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. In Ince-in-Makerfield that usually means working around kerbside standing near the door and a careful turn at the bottom of the stairs for anything longer than a metre.
- 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 WN2 jobs of this type are done inside 131 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

Why Wigan books us for blinds and curtain fitting
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. That is the part Ince-in-Makerfield customers ask about most before booking.
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 Ince-in-Makerfield
Wigan township immediately south-east of the town centre, shaped by coal and the canal. Locally, blind and curtain fitting comes down to two things: solid brick outer walls with crumbly Victorian plaster, so holes are drilled clean and made good rather than punched through, and getting a van to the door under Wigan Council parking rules. Both are arranged in advance for every one of the roughly 6,400 households in WN2, WN3.
