Fixed prices

Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Hackney

These are the Hackney floor prices for a blind fitting. 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 borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Blinds and curtain fitting price guide for Hackney
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single roller or venetian blind£4520–30 minIncludes the reveal check — face-fix or top-fix changes the bracket.
Additional blind on the same visit£2515–25 minOne call-out and one permit shared across every window in the room.
Curtain pole or straight track£5530–45 minLined curtains are heavy, so the fixing must reach timber, lintel or masonry.
Bay window pole or bent track£1201.5–2.5 hrsLondon bays are rarely symmetrical, so the track is bent to the real angles.
Wooden or made-to-measure venetian£6540–60 minHeavier headrail, more brackets, slats squared against an out-of-true reveal.
Motorised or electric blind£951–1.5 hrsBracket, battery or transformer siting and remote pairing, cabling kept in the reveal.

Fitting prices include brackets, fixings, child-safety devices and making good the holes left by anything we remove. Blinds, poles and tracks can be supplied at cost or you can provide your own. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, where they apply, are itemised in the quote.

Working in Hackney

Why Hackney is not a generic London job

Hackney Empire and the Lee Valley marshes is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Hackney.

The housing stock

Hackney is built from warehouse lofts, london fields victorian terraces, big la estates and olympic-era new-build, and the mix changes street by street — Clapton (E5), Dalston (E8) and De Beauvoir Town (N1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs and narrow one-way terraces. Locally that means narrow terraced streets, permit bays and marsh-side roads that flood after heavy rain and kingsland road red route, market-day congestion and narrow permit-only side streets. Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Hackney rules

Leases across Hackney restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: a market-garden parish absorbed by victorian terraces, bombed heavily, rebuilt with estates, then reshaped by the creative industries.

Scope

What's included in Hackney

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Clapton or Victoria Park.

Included in the price

  • Reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type
  • Brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC
  • BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind
  • Old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away

Not included

  • 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

Method

How a Hackney booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Hackney job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Reveal and drop check

    Depth, square and drop measured at both ends, and we confirm recess or exact-fit sizing.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Brackets set

    Brackets levelled for the headrail weight and packed where the reveal runs out of true.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Make good and clear up

    Old fixings removed, holes filled and sanded ready for paint, packaging taken away.

Local questions

Blinds and curtain fitting in Hackney — your questions

  • How much does a blind fitting cost in Hackney?

    Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Hackney, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Hackney postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: E1, E2, E3, E5, E8, E9, EC2, N1, N16 and N4. On the ground that includes Clapton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick and Haggerston.

  • How quickly can you get to Hackney?

    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.

  • What about parking and permits in Hackney?

    Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs and narrow one-way terraces. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hackney and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Hackney flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Warehouse lofts, London Fields Victorian terraces, big LA estates and Olympic-era new-build 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.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Hackney?

    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 London Borough of Hackney tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hackney postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 Hackney, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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