Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Thamesmead SE28, explained
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Thamesmead SE28 specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 7,133 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
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Thamesmead
Five steps, the same on every SE28 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Thamesmead stock goes, the reality on the streets around Southmere Lake 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 Thamesmead customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE28 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a SE28 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Thamesmead walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE28, 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 — and with 29% one-person households in Thamesmead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Thamesmead
Fixed prices for SE28 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Thamesmead
The same scope across SE28, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE28 jobs: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, agreed on the doorstep in Thamesmead before anything is unpacked
- In Thamesmead: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, timed against the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line)
- BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, noted on the Thamesmead job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, allowing for the 28% of SE28 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Thamesmead
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, and we will say so before the SE28 visit rather than on the day

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

Thamesmead SE28 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Thamesmead — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
Census 2021 puts Thamesmead at 7,133 households with a median age of 33.3. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 53% houses and 47% flats need different handling in SE28.
28% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE28. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 29% one-person households in Thamesmead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Thamesmead knows the pattern near Southmere Lake: brutalist canals and lakes, now under one of London's biggest regeneration programmes. We plan the SE28 visit around it. Thamesmead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Thamesmead SE28 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Thamesmead SE28?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Thamesmead for Thamesmead (SE28) addresses, with 7,133 households on this patch, 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 on Greenwich bookings, with 53% of Thamesmead homes being houses.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Thamesmead SE28?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on the streets near Southmere Lake, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), which matters in Thamesmead where 28% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on Greenwich bookings, with 32% owner-occupation locally, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Thamesmead?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Southmere Lake around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line). Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on SE28 jobs, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line). 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Thamesmead?
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE28 on the Thamesmead rounds, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), 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 — and with 29% one-person households in Thamesmead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site on SE28 jobs — and 29% one-person households here, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in Thamesmead SE28 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Thamesmead privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE28 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE28 jobs — and 47% of homes here being flats, with 28% of SE28 homes being privately rented.
How quickly can you reach Thamesmead from your Greenwich round?
Southmere Lake is the marker we route to on SE28 jobs, with 47% of homes here being flats, and deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads. A SE28 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Southmere Lake, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Is same-day or evening blinds and curtain fitting available in Greenwich?
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line). Thamesmead sits close to Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) on SE28 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a SE28 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice.
