Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Bickley BR1, explained

How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Bickley
Five steps, the same on every BR1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — the pattern behind 6,738 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood 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 Bickley customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Bickley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bickley walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in BR1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bickley gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Bickley
Fixed prices for BR1 and the rest of Bromley. 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 Bickley
The same scope across BR1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, allowing for the 18% of BR1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, noted on the Bickley job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Bickley: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, timed against the walk in from Bickley (Southeastern)
- On BR1 jobs: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, agreed on the doorstep in Bickley before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, which we refer on to the right trade in Bickley
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR1
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, and we will say so before the BR1 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. The team (two ladies and a man) did an excellent job cleaning the entire house, including the kitchen, kitchen hob, window blinds, bedroom wardrobes, and mirrors.

Working in Bickley
Bickley BR1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bickley — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
6,738 households sit inside the BR1 neighbourhood covering Bickley. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 25% of those homes are flats.
Because 18% of Bickley is privately rented and 8% socially rented, a lot of BR1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Bickley is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Bickley gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Large Victorian and Edwardian houses on wide avenues east of Bromley. That character decides the practical detail of blinds and curtain fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Bickley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Bickley (Southeastern).

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Bickley BR1 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Bickley BR1?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Bickley on the Bickley rounds, with 75% of Bickley homes being houses, 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 on the streets near Bickley Park, with 25% of homes here being flats.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Bickley BR1?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on the streets near Bickley Park, with 28% one-person households here, which matters in Bickley where 18% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on BR1 jobs, with 6,738 households on this patch, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Bickley?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Bickley Park in this 25% flats neighbourhood. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops around Bickley (Southeastern), with 8% social-rented stock nearby. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Bickley?
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside in this 25% flats neighbourhood — and 74% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Bickley (Southeastern), and with 18% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in BR1, 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 Bickley gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on this side of Bromley, with 18% of BR1 homes being privately rented — and 25% of homes here being flats, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
What is not included in blinds and curtain fitting in Bickley?
Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder; Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes; Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician in this 25% flats neighbourhood, with Bromley parking rules in play. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Bickley BR1 price you agree is the price you pay on Bromley bookings, with 25% of homes here being flats.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in Bickley BR1 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 18% of Bickley privately rented and 74% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on BR1 jobs — and 75% of Bickley homes being houses, with 8% social-rented stock nearby.
How quickly can you reach Bickley from your Bromley round?
Bickley Park is the marker we route to on the Bickley rounds, with 18% of BR1 homes being privately rented, and long gravel drives, mature trees limiting height and wide easy roads. A BR1 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on BR1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Bickley (Southeastern).
