Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Cricklewood NW2, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Cricklewood, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 74% of Cricklewood's 4,362 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW2 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Cricklewood
Five steps, the same on every NW2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Cricklewood stock goes, the reality on the streets around Cricklewood Broadway 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 Cricklewood customers book us
Four things decide whether a NW2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Cricklewood (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a NW2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cricklewood walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in NW2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 34% one-person households in Cricklewood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Cricklewood
Fixed prices for NW2 and the rest of Brent. 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. |

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