Blinds & curtains in Moston
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 M9 are nine-inch brick downstairs, timber-and-plaster partitions upstairs and the occasional later block infill in the back bedroom, which is exactly what decides how blind and curtain fitting is done here.
We completed 107 blind and curtain fitting bookings around Broadhurst Park, home of FC United of Manchester in the last twelve months, and 98% finished inside the slot that was booked. Access here usually means a space found within a few doors of the house, with anything long carried in flat and turned in the front room, so the van is loaded for it before we leave the depot.

Blinds & curtains for Moston homes and businesses
What is covered locally, how the Moston price is worked out and what happens on the day.
Blinds & curtains in Moston is priced per visit, worked out from the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals. Housing across M9 and M40 is mostly by-law terraced streets and the walls run to nine-inch brick downstairs, timber-and-plaster partitions upstairs and the occasional later block infill in the back bedroom, 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 Moston visit takes around 141 minutes and finishes properly.
Work is carried out by DBS-checked, £5m-insured tradespeople who sort Manchester City Council parking themselves, with a fixed written price back within 2 hours. Need more than this one job? It can be added to a handyman visit in Moston or booked alongside house removals in Moston.
FC United match days, St Joseph's cemetery and a settled owner-occupier base. Locally, people search for Venetian blind installation, blackout blind fitting, vertical blinds office and motorised blind installation — all the same booking: one insured tradesperson, the right kit and a fixed price. We also handle curtain fitting cost and blind fitting near me for Moston 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 Moston actually involves
The stock here is by-law terraced streets and what a drill meets is solid brick outer walls with crumbly Victorian plaster, so holes are drilled clean and made good rather than punched through. That single fact governs blind and curtain fitting in M9 — 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 Manchester City Council permit is our problem rather than yours. A single blind takes 20–30 minutes; a full house of windows is a day.
How blinds & curtains works in Moston
- 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 M9 photos and the Moston figure lands within 2 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 Moston 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. A standard Moston visit runs to roughly 141 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

- Height and projection set so curtains clear the radiator and the sill

- Motorised and battery blinds fitted, charged and paired to the remote
- Old poles, tracks and blinds removed and holes made good
Why Manchester 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 Moston 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 Moston
Quiet north-east suburb of interwar semis, allotments and the Moston Brook green corridor. For blind and curtain fitting the detail that matters is what sits behind the plaster — solid nine-inch brick with original lath and plaster on the upper floors, so fixings change room by room — and where the van can legally stand under Manchester City Council rules. Both are settled before the visit across M9, M40, roughly 6,400 households inside our no-travel-charge radius.
