Fixed prices

Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Islington

What a blind fitting costs in Islington. 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. The borough-specific additions here come from the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages.
Blinds and curtain fitting price guide for Islington
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Single roller or venetian blind£4520–30 minIncludes the reveal check — face-fix or top-fix changes the bracket.
Additional blind on the same visit£2515–25 minOne call-out and one permit shared across every window in the room.
Curtain pole or straight track£5530–45 minLined curtains are heavy, so the fixing must reach timber, lintel or masonry.
Bay window pole or bent track£1201.5–2.5 hrsLondon bays are rarely symmetrical, so the track is bent to the real angles.
Wooden or made-to-measure venetian£6540–60 minHeavier headrail, more brackets, slats squared against an out-of-true reveal.
Motorised or electric blind£951–1.5 hrsBracket, battery or transformer siting and remote pairing, cabling kept in the reveal.

Working in Islington

Why Islington is not a generic London job

Emirates Stadium and Upper Street is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Islington.

The housing stock

Islington is built from four-storey georgian terraces with basements, victorian conversions and large council estates around finsbury park, and the mix changes street by street — Angel (N1), Archway (N19) and Barnsbury (N1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: wall-to-wall cpzs, red routes on holloway road and city road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Locally that means seven-day cpz, no off-street parking on the georgian streets and steep basement access and gyratory red routes, steep hill streets and estate blocks with booked lifts. Part of Islington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

London Borough of Islington rules

Leases across Islington restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: a spa and pleasure-garden suburb that filled with georgian and early victorian terraces, then gentrified hard from the 1970s.

Scope

What's included in Islington

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Angel or Tufnell Park.

Included in the price

  • Reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type
  • Brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC
  • BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind
  • Old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away

Not included

  • 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

Local questions

Blinds and curtain fitting in Islington — your questions

  • How much does a blind fitting cost in Islington?

    Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Islington, and the ladder runs up to £95 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Islington postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: EC1, EC1V, N1, N19, N4, N5 and N7. On the ground that includes Angel, Archway, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Finsbury Park and Highbury.

  • How quickly can you get to Islington?

    Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Islington?

    Wall-to-wall CPZs, red routes on Holloway Road and City Road, and terraces with no off-street parking at all. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Islington and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Islington flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Four-storey Georgian terraces with basements, Victorian conversions and large council estates around Finsbury Park is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Islington?

    Fitters carry £1m 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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Islington tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Islington postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 and Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician. If something on that list turns up in Islington, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

I had a huge, heavy Ikea, mirrored wardrobe to re-assemble. Adam was very polite, carefully got on with the job (without instruction guide); gave me helpful tips and also repaired some of the parts that had got broken over time. I thought this company was very professional and would certainly recommend.

I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
