Overview

How it works
Step 1
Depth, square and drop measured at both ends, and we confirm recess or exact-fit sizing.
Step 2
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 levelled for the headrail weight and packed where the reveal runs out of true.
Step 4
Blind or pole hung, drops squared, mechanism cycled and the child-safety device fixed 1.5m from the floor.
Step 5
Old fixings removed, holes filled and sanded ready for paint, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Tufnell Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,395 households inside the NW5 neighbourhood.
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
| 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
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
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. They made sure there was no dirt or marks… Read in full →

Working in Dartmouth Park
Walk Dartmouth Park from Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 72% of the 3,395 households in NW5 live in flats, 28% in houses.
18% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Tufnell Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Dartmouth Park is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,395 households inside the NW5 neighbourhood.
Anyone who knows Dartmouth Park knows the pattern near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields: steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. We plan the NW5 visit around it. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Tufnell Park (Northern).

Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Dartmouth Park on Camden bookings, with 3,395 households on this patch — and 72% of homes here being flats, 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 for Dartmouth Park (NW5) addresses, with Camden parking rules in play.
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across NW5, with 45% owner-occupation locally, which matters in Dartmouth Park where 18% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on this side of Camden, with 36% social-rented stock nearby, and we say so before you buy.
Yes — it is the job we do most around Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields on this side of Camden, with 45% owner-occupation locally. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops across NW5, with this being a short walk from Tufnell Park (Northern). 5 hours from £120.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — measured on the walk in from Tufnell Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW5 around Tufnell Park (Northern), with Camden 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 drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,395 households inside the NW5 neighbourhood in Dartmouth Park — and a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, with 72% of homes here being flats.
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 across NW5 — and 3,395 households on this patch, with 18% of NW5 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Camden letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields, with Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields a few streets away.
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 on the streets near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields — and 3,395 households on this patch, with Camden parking rules in play. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Dartmouth Park NW5 price you agree is the price you pay across NW5, with 72% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 18% of Dartmouth Park privately rented and 45% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across NW5, with 45% owner-occupation locally — and 36% social-rented stock nearby.
