Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Haggerston E2 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hackney, most of them mainly Victorian. 10,083 households sit inside this E2 patch, 89% of them flats, so we quote on access near Regent's Canal at Haggerston Park rather than a London average.
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 often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Regent's Canal at Haggerston Park in E2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 51% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Canal bridges limit access, permit bays throughout and estate lifts needing booking.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Haggerston (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E2 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 Haggerston
The E2 stock around Regent's Canal at Haggerston Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 89% flats, 11% houses and 10,083 households in Haggerston.
27% of households rent privately and 22% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Haggerston substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Regent's Canal at Haggerston Park. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E2, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 51% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a E2 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Haggerston: regent's Canal terraces, estate blocks and a fast-changing strip of Kingsland Road. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Haggerston is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Canal bridges limit access, permit bays throughout and estate lifts needing booking. Nearest station is Haggerston (Overground), 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 Haggerston in this 89% flats neighbourhood, with 33% 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 across E2, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
