Blinds & curtains in Longdendale

90% of Longdendale 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.

Almost always, with the right method. Local walls are solid brick outer walls with crumbly Victorian plaster, so holes are drilled clean and made good rather than punched through, so the substrate is scanned and tested first and the fixing chosen to suit. A standard Longdendale job takes around 152 minutes.

Access here is typically kerbside standing near the door and a careful turn at the bottom of the stairs for anything longer than a metre. Tameside Council controls parking in SK14, so any permit or visitor bay is arranged before the visit and included in the quoted price — never added afterwards.

We do everything that can be done, photograph the problem with the part reference and tell you exactly what is needed. Returning to finish carries no second call-out charge in Longdendale.

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. The same answer applies to every Longdendale booking.

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. That holds across SK14 at one fixed price.

Most Longdendale homes have stone-mullioned windows and deep gritstone reveals, with deep, irregular reveals where no two openings measure the same. 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 short 140–170cm cottage drops, often with a wide stack-back either side, and a window takes around 40–60 minutes per window.

Yes. Above the opening here is usually natural stone, hard sandstone lintels and occasional timber bressummers. We scan for cables and pipes first, then use SDS drilling with longer expansion fixings, taking care not to spall the stone face — brackets are usually set on the timber or plaster line rather than the mullion itself. 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.
