How it works

How blinds and curtain fitting works in Friern Barnet and New Southgate

Five steps, the same on every N11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Friern Barnet and New Southgate gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, the reality on the streets around Princess Park Manor is what we plan for here.
  1. Step 1

    Reveal and drop check

    Depth, square and drop measured at both ends, and we confirm recess or exact-fit sizing.

  2. Step 2

    Substrate test

    Detector sweep for cables and pipes, then a reveal test — sash box, lintel, dot-and-dab or uPVC — so the fixing suits the window.

  3. Step 3

    Brackets set

    Brackets levelled for the headrail weight and packed where the reveal runs out of true.

  4. Step 4

    Hang, square and test

    Blind or pole hung, drops squared, mechanism cycled and the child-safety device fixed 1.5m from the floor.

  5. Step 5

    Make good and clear up

    Old fixings removed, holes filled and sanded ready for paint, packaging taken away.

Why choose us

Why Friern Barnet and New Southgate customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Friern Barnet and New Southgate wall.

Friern Barnet and New Southgate walls, not generic walls

We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Friern Barnet and New Southgate, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere.

Insured and documented

Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every corded blind gets the BS EN 13120 child-safety device, photographed for the job record — the evidence landlords are asked for.

Crew sized to the job

One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere.

Booked around your day

Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. New Southgate (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Friern Barnet and New Southgate

Fixed prices for N11 and the rest of Barnet. Window count and reveal type set the price. Bays, concrete lintels and shallow sash reveals cost more because the bracket has to be packed or the fixing changed.
Blinds and curtain fitting price guide for Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single roller or venetian blind£4520–30 minIncludes the reveal check — face-fix or top-fix changes the bracket.
Additional blind on the same visit£2515–25 minOne call-out and one permit shared across every window in the room.
Curtain pole or straight track£5530–45 minLined curtains are heavy, so the fixing must reach timber, lintel or masonry.
Bay window pole or bent track£1201.5–2.5 hrsLondon bays are rarely symmetrical, so the track is bent to the real angles.
Wooden or made-to-measure venetian£6540–60 minHeavier headrail, more brackets, slats squared against an out-of-true reveal.
Motorised or electric blind£951–1.5 hrsBracket, battery or transformer siting and remote pairing, cabling kept in the reveal.

Fitting prices include brackets, fixings, child-safety devices and making good the holes left by anything we remove. Blinds, poles and tracks can be supplied at cost or you can provide your own. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, are itemised in the quote.

I had a deep cleaning service done at my home on Sunday, and I am extremely impressed with the results.

Friern Barnet and New Southgate substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Friern Barnet and New Southgate, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere is the mistake that costs a N11 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in Friern Barnet and New Southgate: quiet residential grid around the former Colney Hatch asylum, now Princess Park Manor. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Friern Barnet and New Southgate is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

On access, gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use New Southgate (Great Northern).

  • Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11?

    Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across N11 — and Princess Park Manor a few streets away, with 47% of homes here being flats, which matters in Friern Barnet and New Southgate where 30% of homes are privately rented.

  • Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Friern Barnet and New Southgate?

    Yes — it is the job we do most around Princess Park Manor around New Southgate (Great Northern). Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on N11 jobs, with Princess Park Manor a few streets away. 5 hours from £120.

The mistake we undo most here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Friern Barnet and New Southgate — and 53% of Friern Barnet and New Southgate homes being houses, with Barnet parking rules in play, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere.

  • Are your fitters insured for work in N11?
