Blinds & curtains in Tyldesley
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 M29 are solid nine-inch brick with original lath and plaster on the upper floors, so fixings change room by room, which is exactly what decides how blind and curtain fitting is done here.
We completed 111 blind and curtain fitting bookings around Tyldesley's Elliott Street and the Astley Green Colliery Museum nearby in the last twelve months, and 95% 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 Tyldesley homes and businesses
What is covered locally, how the Tyldesley price is worked out and what happens on the day.
Blinds & curtains in Tyldesley is priced per visit, worked out from the number of windows and whether any are bays or awkward reveals. Housing across M29 is mostly by-law terraced streets and the walls run to solid nine-inch brick with original lath and plaster on the upper floors, so fixings change room by room, 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 Tyldesley visit takes around 170 minutes and finishes properly.
Work is carried out by DBS-checked, £5m-insured tradespeople who sort Wigan Council parking themselves, with a fixed written price back within 3 hours. Need more than this one job? It can be added to a handyman visit in Tyldesley or booked alongside house removals in Tyldesley.
Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs. Locally, people search for motorised blind installation, curtain fitting cost, blind fitting near me and child safety blind chain — all the same booking: one insured tradesperson, the right kit and a fixed price. We also handle recess vs face fix blinds and landlord blind fitting for Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley 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 M29 — it sets the anchor, the drilling method and how long the visit realistically needs to be.
Practically, the van deals with a permit space on the terrace, with panels brought in through the front rather than round the back entry, and any Wigan 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 Tyldesley
- 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. Quotes for Tyldesley come back within 3 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. Tyldesley access is kerbside standing near the door and a careful turn at the bottom of the stairs for anything longer than a metre, agreed with you beforehand.
- 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 M29 jobs of this type are done inside 170 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 Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley
Hillside Wigan-borough town looking south over the Chat Moss plain, known as Bongs. 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 Wigan Council rules. Both are settled before the visit across M29, roughly 6,800 households inside our no-travel-charge radius.
