London blinds and curtains · Central London
Local blinds and curtain fitting for City of London and its 10 covered areas. The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers.
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. |

Working in City of London
City of London is built from barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.
City of London Corporation sets the constraint: congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Most flats in City of London are leasehold, and managing agents here routinely ask for a public liability certificate and a method note before a contractor drills anything. We send both with the booking confirmation.
Why it looks like this: roman londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the blitz, now layered with towers around bishopsgate.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Brackets fixed into the right substrate, cables chased or trunked, screen levelled.
Wardrobes, beds, desks and storage built, levelled and anchored to the wall.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.
Anything that needs to go on a wall — fixed into the right substrate and levelled.
Bath and shower screens fitted, sealed and tested so the seal holds, not just looks right.
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £95 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
