Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in St Paul's EC4, explained
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for St Paul's EC4 specifically: post-war stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in St Paul's
Five steps, the same on every EC4 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the St Paul's stock goes, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 St Paul's customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a St Paul's wall.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. St Paul's (Central) is the nearest station, so a EC4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St Paul's walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in EC4, 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 — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 St Paul's
Fixed prices for EC4 and the rest of City of London. 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 St Paul's
The same scope across EC4, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On EC4 jobs: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, agreed on the doorstep in St Paul's before anything is unpacked
- In St Paul's: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, timed against the walk in from St Paul's (Central)
- BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, noted on the St Paul's job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on City of London bookings: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, allowing for the 48% of EC4 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the EC4 visit rather than on the day
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on St Paul's bookings

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

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in St Paul's EC4 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in St Paul's EC4?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in St Paul's in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with 51% one-person households here, 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 in St Paul's, with 98% of homes here being flats.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in St Paul's EC4?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on EC4 jobs, with 98% of homes here being flats, which matters in St Paul's where 48% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral, with this being City of London Corporation territory, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in St Paul's?
Yes — it is the job we do most around St Paul's Cathedral on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops for St Paul's (EC4) addresses, with St Paul's Cathedral a few streets away. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in St Paul's?
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 48% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in EC4 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and City of London parking rules in play, with this being City of London Corporation territory, 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first around St Paul's (Central) — and this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC4?

That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of City of London, with 37% owner-occupation locally.

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 around St Paul's (Central) — and 98% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the St Paul's EC4 price you agree is the price you pay in St Paul's, with 4,914 households on this patch.
