Overview
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Abbey Wood SE2 specifically: inter-war stock, 24% privately rented and 6,046 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE2, often with surface conduit — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE2 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 Abbey Wood
Walk Abbey Wood from Lesnes Abbey Woods outwards and the inter-war pattern is obvious: 38% of the 6,046 households in SE2 live in flats, 61% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 40% in Abbey Wood, so alongside the 24% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE2, often with surface conduit — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so the fixing that matters in Abbey Wood is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Abbey Wood: lesnes Abbey ruins, the woods and streets transformed by the Elizabeth line. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Abbey Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
