Overview
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Rainham RM13 specifically: post-war stock, 18% privately rented and 5,122 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering 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 cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in RM13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM13, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Rainham (c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM13 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 Rainham
Census 2021 puts Rainham at 5,122 households with a median age of 38.4. The post-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 85% houses and 15% flats need different handling in RM13.
Owner-occupation runs at 73% in Rainham, so alongside the 18% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Rainham substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in RM13, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a RM13 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Rainham: thames-side village with the marshes, the Tudor hall and new riverside housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Rainham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: new estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way. Rainham (c2c) is the nearest station, 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 Rainham on Havering bookings, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, 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 on this side of Havering, with 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented.
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on this side of Havering, with 18% of RM13 homes being privately rented, which matters in Rainham where 18% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket in this 15% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c), and we say so before you buy.
Yes — it is the job we do most around Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve on this side of Havering, with 15% of homes here being flats. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops across RM13, with Havering parking rules in play. 5 hours from £120.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 73% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in RM13 in this 15% flats neighbourhood, with 73% owner-occupation locally — and 15% of homes here being flats, 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 RM13, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on Havering bookings — and 73% owner-occupation locally, with 9% social-rented stock nearby.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available on this side of Havering. Rainham sits close to Rainham (c2c), with this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c), so we can usually add a RM13 job to an existing Havering round at short notice in Rainham.
New estate roads are wide with drives; the village lanes are narrow and one-way on the streets near Rainham Hall and Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Havering it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Havering bookings — and this being a short walk from Rainham (c2c), with 15% of homes here being flats.
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 for Rainham (RM13) addresses — and 25% one-person households here, with 5,122 households on this patch. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Rainham, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
