Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Catford SE6, explained
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Catford SE6 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,981 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Catford stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Catford customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE6 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Catford Cat in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
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.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE6 jobs: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
- In Catford: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
- BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, noted on the Catford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, allowing for the 33% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day

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

Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Catford SE6?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across SE6, with Lewisham parking rules in play, which matters in Catford where 33% of homes are privately rented.

Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Catford?
Yes — it is the job we do most around The Catford Cat around Catford (Southeastern). Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on SE6 jobs, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Catford?

The mistake we undo most here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map on this side of Lewisham — and this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern), with 38% of Catford homes being houses.
