How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, as the Petts Wood stock goes, and with 8% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Petts Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Petts Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Petts Wood, cavity brickwork outside — where 90% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
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 Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 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 Petts Wood

- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings

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

Walls are timber stud partitions inside in Petts Wood, cavity brickwork outside — where 90% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Petts Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Petts Wood BR5 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Petts Wood BR5?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Petts Wood, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood — and 2% social-rented stock nearby, 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 The Willett Memorial Wood, with 22% one-person households here.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Petts Wood BR5?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact, with 2,972 households on this patch, which matters in Petts Wood where 8% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses, with 22% one-person households here, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Petts Wood?
Yes — it is the job we do most around The Willett Memorial Wood on this side of Bromley. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops across BR5, with 2% social-rented stock nearby. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Petts Wood?
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Petts Wood, cavity brickwork outside — where 90% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in BR5 on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood — and 8% of homes here being flats, with Bromley parking rules in play, 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 a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on these streets — and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays across BR5 — and 90% owner-occupation locally, with 8% of homes here being flats.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in Petts Wood BR5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 8% of Petts Wood privately rented and 90% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Bromley bookings — and The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Petts Wood from your Bromley round?
The Willett Memorial Wood is the marker we route to on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. A BR5 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next across BR5, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening blinds and curtain fitting available in Bromley?
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available on this side of Bromley. Petts Wood sits close to Petts Wood (Southeastern) across BR5, with 92% of Petts Wood homes being houses, so we can usually add a BR5 job to an existing Bromley round at short notice.
