Overview
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Harrow HA1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 14,108 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow 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 some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in HA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in HA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and one-way town centre with timed loading; the hill lanes are narrow and steep.
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. One-way town centre with timed loading; the hill lanes are narrow and steep.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan, Chiltern) is the nearest station, so a HA1 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 Harrow
Census 2021 puts Harrow at 14,108 households with a median age of 37.8. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 62% houses and 38% flats need different handling in HA1.
Owner-occupation runs at 59% in Harrow, so alongside the 31% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in HA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in HA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and one-way town centre with timed loading; the hill lanes are narrow and steep is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Harrow: town centre shopping, St Ann's mall and the school on the hill above. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Harrow is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
One-way town centre with timed loading; the hill lanes are narrow and steep. Nearest station is Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan, Chiltern), 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 Harrow on HA1 jobs, with Harrow School and St Mary's Church a few streets away, 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 HA1, with 10% social-rented stock nearby.
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on HA1 jobs, with 25% one-person households here, which matters in Harrow where 31% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket around Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan, Chiltern), with Harrow parking rules in play, and we say so before you buy.
Yes — it is the job we do most around Harrow School and St Mary's Church on the Harrow rounds, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on Harrow bookings, with this being London Borough of Harrow territory. 5 hours from £120.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in HA1 for Harrow (HA1) addresses, with 10% social-rented stock nearby — and Harrow School and St Mary's Church a few streets away, 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 in HA1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and one-way town centre with timed loading; the hill lanes are narrow and steep on the streets near Harrow School and St Mary's Church — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 62% of Harrow homes being houses.
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 on HA1 jobs — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Harrow territory. That paperwork is what most Harrow letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Harrow, with 38% of homes here being flats.
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 on HA1 jobs — and this being a short walk from Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan, Chiltern), with 14,108 households on this patch. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Harrow HA1 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Harrow School and St Mary's Church, with 25% one-person households here.
All three. With 31% of Harrow privately rented and 59% owner-occupied, roughly half the HA1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Harrow bookings — and 10% social-rented stock nearby, with 38% of homes here being flats.
