Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in New Malden KT3, explained
Blinds and curtain fitting in New Malden KT3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Kingston upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 6,674 households sit inside this KT3 patch, 30% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Korean high street on Burlington Road rather than a London average.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in New Malden
Five steps, the same on every KT3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In KT3, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and with 24% one-person households in New Malden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 New Malden customers book us
Four things decide whether a KT3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
New Malden walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in KT3, 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 New Malden stock goes, which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces.
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. Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in New Malden
Fixed prices for KT3 and the rest of Kingston upon Thames. 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 New Malden
The same scope across KT3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In New Malden: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, timed against the walk in from New Malden (South Western)
- On KT3 jobs: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, agreed on the doorstep in New Malden before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, allowing for the 27% of KT3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, noted on the New Malden job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, and we will say so before the KT3 visit rather than on the day
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, handled by Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in New Malden

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.

New Malden KT3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Malden — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
New Malden KT3 is mainly Edwardian and owner-occupier-led: 30% of homes here are flats and 70% are houses, across 6,674 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 27% of New Malden is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of KT3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in KT3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the New Malden stock goes, which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
New Malden 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 — home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match — which is why a KT3 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in New Malden KT3 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in New Malden KT3?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in New Malden on KT3 jobs, with this being a short walk from New Malden (South Western) — and 24% one-person households here, 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 across KT3, with The Korean high street on Burlington Road a few streets away.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in New Malden KT3?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on KT3 jobs, with 70% of New Malden homes being houses, which matters in New Malden where 27% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on the New Malden rounds, with 6% social-rented stock nearby, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in New Malden?
Yes — it is the job we do most around The Korean high street on Burlington Road on this side of Kingston upon Thames, with 24% one-person households here. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops in this 30% flats neighbourhood, with Kingston upon Thames parking rules in play. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in New Malden?
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from New Malden (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in KT3 around New Malden (South Western) — and 67% owner-occupation locally, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 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 fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the New Malden stock goes on KT3 jobs, with 30% of homes here being flats — and The Korean high street on Burlington Road a few streets away, which is what a 30% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering New Malden actually produces.
What is not included in blinds and curtain fitting in New Malden?
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 30% flats neighbourhood — and 70% of New Malden homes being houses, with this being a short walk from New Malden (South Western). Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the New Malden KT3 price you agree is the price you pay on Kingston upon Thames bookings, with 67% owner-occupation locally.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in New Malden KT3 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 27% of New Malden privately rented and 67% owner-occupied, roughly half the KT3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the New Malden rounds — and this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, with 24% one-person households here.
How quickly can you reach New Malden from your Kingston upon Thames round?
The Korean high street on Burlington Road is the marker we route to on KT3 jobs, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, and driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. A KT3 slot added to an existing Kingston upon Thames round usually lands the same week rather than the next around New Malden (South Western), with 6,674 households on this patch.
