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 solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Tolworth Tower in KT5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in KT5, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,374 households inside the KT5 neighbourhood.
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. A3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Tolworth (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT5 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 Tolworth
The KT5 stock around Tolworth Tower is inter-war. ONS records 25% flats, 74% houses and 3,374 households in Tolworth.

Tolworth substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around Tolworth Tower. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in KT5, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 3,374 households inside the KT5 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a KT5 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Tolworth: the Tolworth Tower landmark on the A3 and quiet 1930s residential grids. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Tolworth 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: a3 access is fast but unloadable; residential streets have driveways. Tolworth (South Western) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
