Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Crayford DA1, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Crayford
Five steps, the same on every DA1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In DA1, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Reveal and drop check
Depth, square and drop measured at both ends, and we confirm recess or exact-fit sizing.
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.
Step 3
Brackets set
Brackets levelled for the headrail weight and packed where the reveal runs out of true.
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.
Step 5
Make good and clear up
Old fixings removed, holes filled and sanded ready for paint, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Crayford customers book us
What follows is specific to Crayford: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bexley agents ask for.
Crayford walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Crayford
Fixed prices for DA1 and the rest of Bexley. 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.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single roller or venetian blind | £45 | 20–30 min | Includes the reveal check — face-fix or top-fix changes the bracket. |
| Additional blind on the same visit | £25 | 15–25 min | One call-out and one permit shared across every window in the room. |
| Curtain pole or straight track | £55 | 30–45 min | Lined curtains are heavy, so the fixing must reach timber, lintel or masonry. |
| Bay window pole or bent track | £120 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | London bays are rarely symmetrical, so the track is bent to the real angles. |
| Wooden or made-to-measure venetian | £65 | 40–60 min | Heavier headrail, more brackets, slats squared against an out-of-true reveal. |
| Motorised or electric blind | £95 | 1–1.5 hrs | Bracket, battery or transformer siting and remote pairing, cabling kept in the reveal. |

Scope
What's included in Crayford
The same scope across DA1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Crayford: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, timed against the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern)
- On DA1 jobs: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, agreed on the doorstep in Crayford before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Bexley bookings: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, allowing for the 16% of DA1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, noted on the Crayford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA1
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, outside the fixed price on Crayford bookings
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, and we will say so before the DA1 visit rather than on the day

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

Working in Crayford
Crayford DA1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Crayford — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
9,135 households sit inside the DA1 neighbourhood covering Crayford. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 28% of those homes are flats.
Because 16% of Crayford is privately rented and 26% socially rented, a lot of DA1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in DA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes, and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border — which is why a DA1 quote is not a Bexley average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Crayford DA1 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Crayford DA1?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Crayford in this 28% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. 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 across DA1, with 28% of homes here being flats.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Crayford DA1?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across DA1, with 26% social-rented stock nearby, which matters in Crayford where 16% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket around Crayford (Southeastern), with 57% owner-occupation locally, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Crayford?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Crayford Greyhound Stadium across DA1. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on this side of Bexley, with this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern). 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Crayford?
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick on the Crayford rounds — and 26% one-person households here, with 28% of homes here being flats, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA1, and that decides the fixing: timber sash box, concrete lintel or a plasterboard reveal bridged into the blockwork behind. The mistake we undo most here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Crayford stock goes on Bexley bookings, with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
How quickly can you reach Crayford from your Bexley round?
Crayford Greyhound Stadium is the marker we route to across DA1, with 26% one-person households here, and wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. A DA1 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Crayford rounds, with Bexley parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening blinds and curtain fitting available in Bexley?
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available across DA1. Crayford sits close to Crayford (Southeastern), with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a DA1 job to an existing Bexley round at short notice on the streets near Crayford Greyhound Stadium.
Do you handle difficult access in Crayford?
Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way in this 28% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bexley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards around Crayford (Southeastern) — and 26% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory.
