Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Hayes UB3, explained
Blinds and curtain fitting in Hayes UB3 is a fixed-price visit for mixed-tenure homes in Hillingdon, most of them inter-war. 14,482 households sit inside this UB3 patch, 34% of them flats, so we quote on access near The former EMI factory at Blyth Road rather than a London average.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Hayes
Five steps, the same on every UB3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In UB3, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — the pattern behind 14,482 households inside the UB3 neighbourhood 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 Hayes customers book us
What follows is specific to Hayes: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hillingdon agents ask for.
Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in UB3, 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, as the Hayes stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Hayes
Fixed prices for UB3 and the rest of Hillingdon. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Hayes

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.

Hayes UB3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hayes — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
14,482 households sit inside the UB3 neighbourhood covering Hayes. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 34% of those homes are flats.
The mixed-tenure mix here (45% owned, 33% privately rented) means a UB3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Hayes substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hayes stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a UB3 customer twice.
Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the old EMI works, the canal and a town centre transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a UB3 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
On access, new blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line).
