Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Ickenham UB10, explained
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Ickenham UB10 specifically: inter-war stock, 14% privately rented and 2,922 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hillingdon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Ickenham
Five steps, the same on every UB10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — measured on the walk in from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map 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 Ickenham customers book us
What follows is specific to Ickenham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hillingdon agents ask for.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Ickenham walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside, and with 23% one-person households in Ickenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Ickenham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Ickenham actually produces.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Ickenham
Fixed prices for UB10 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 Ickenham
The same scope across UB10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hillingdon bookings: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, allowing for the 14% of UB10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, noted on the Ickenham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Ickenham: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, timed against the walk in from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly)
- On UB10 jobs: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, agreed on the doorstep in Ickenham before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, handled by London Borough of Hillingdon or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, which we refer on to the right trade in Ickenham
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Ickenham bookings

I had a deep cleaning service done at my home on Sunday, and I am extremely impressed with the results.

Ickenham UB10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Ickenham — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
In Ickenham (UB10) the split is 12% flats to 88% houses over 2,922 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 14% private renting against 82% owner-occupied, most UB10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside, and with 23% one-person households in Ickenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in UB10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Ickenham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Ickenham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. That character decides the practical detail of blinds and curtain fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet. Nearest station is Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Blinds and curtain fitting in Ickenham UB10 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Ickenham UB10?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Ickenham across UB10, with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented, 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 in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Ickenham UB10?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact, with 23% one-person households here, which matters in Ickenham where 14% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 2,922 households on this patch, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Ickenham?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Ickenham village pump on UB10 jobs. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Ickenham?
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), and with 23% one-person households in Ickenham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in UB10, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory, 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 Ickenham gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air on UB10 jobs — and 88% of Ickenham homes being houses, with 12% of homes here being flats, which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Ickenham actually produces.
What is not included in blinds and curtain fitting in Ickenham?
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 in this 12% flats neighbourhood — and 4% social-rented stock nearby, with Ickenham village pump a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Ickenham UB10 price you agree is the price you pay on Hillingdon bookings, with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in Ickenham UB10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 14% of Ickenham privately rented and 82% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) — and 2,922 households on this patch, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Ickenham from your Hillingdon round?
Ickenham village pump is the marker we route to around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 4% social-rented stock nearby, and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet. A UB10 slot added to an existing Hillingdon round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Ickenham, with 23% one-person households here.
