Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained
Blinds and curtain fitting in West Kensington and Olympia W14 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Hammersmith and Fulham, most of them post-war. 4,112 households sit inside this W14 patch, 95% of them flats, so we quote on access near Olympia London rather than a London average.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
Four things decide whether a W14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is West Kensington and Olympia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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. |
