Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Collier Row RM5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 12% of Collier Row's 3,167 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Collier Row
Five steps, the same on every RM5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the Collier Row stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Collier Row customers book us
What follows is specific to Collier Row: its walls, its access and the paperwork Havering agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Collier Row walls, not generic walls
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Collier Row
Fixed prices for RM5 and the rest of Havering. 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. |
