Ealing · UB6 · Blinds and curtain fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenford fitters · Fixed written pricesGreenford UB6 is a regular stop on our Ealing round. Canal-side industry, the Central line's wooden escalator and 1930s semis, so blinds and curtain fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, brackets matched to the reveal, child-safety devices fitted and the old holes made good.
Overview
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Greenford UB6 specifically: inter-war stock, 30% privately rented and 12,474 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
We expect solid London stock brick in Greenford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford in UB6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Greenford (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, so a UB6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Greenford
Census 2021 puts Greenford at 12,474 households with a median age of 37.3. The inter-war stock is mixed-tenure, which is why 58% houses and 41% flats need different handling in UB6.
Owner-occupation runs at 53% in Greenford, so alongside the 30% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Greenford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford, so the fixing that matters in Greenford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Greenford (Central) rather than assumed from a map.
Two streets can behave very differently in Greenford: canal-side industry, the Central line's wooden escalator and 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Greenford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. Greenford (Central) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Greenford, with 53% owner-occupation locally, 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 this 41% flats neighbourhood, with 30% of UB6 homes being privately rented.
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across UB6, with Ealing parking rules in play, which matters in Greenford where 30% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on this side of Ealing, with 41% of homes here being flats, and we say so before you buy.
Yes — it is the job we do most around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford on the streets near The Grand Union Canal at Greenford, with 12,474 households on this patch. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on UB6 jobs, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. 5 hours from £120.
We expect solid London stock brick in Greenford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Grand Union Canal at Greenford in UB6 for Greenford (UB6) addresses — and 53% owner-occupation locally, with 58% of Greenford homes being houses, 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 in UB6, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Greenford (Central) rather than assumed from a map on the streets near The Grand Union Canal at Greenford — and Ealing parking rules in play, with The Grand Union Canal at Greenford a few streets away.
All three. With 30% of Greenford privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB6 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Ealing bookings — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 12,474 households on this patch.
The Grand Union Canal at Greenford is the marker we route to across UB6, with 58% of Greenford homes being houses, and wide roads with driveways; the industrial estates carry heavy traffic at peak. A UB6 slot added to an existing Ealing round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Ealing, with The Grand Union Canal at Greenford a few streets away.
