Lewisham · SE12 · Blinds and curtain fitting
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Lee fitters · Fixed written pricesLee SE12 is a regular stop on our Lewisham round. Manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses, so blinds and curtain fitting here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, brackets matched to the reveal, child-safety devices fitted and the old holes made good.
Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Lee SE12 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 6,151 households sit inside this SE12 patch, 39% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Manor House and its gardens rather than a London average.
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 in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 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 Lee
Walk Lee from The Manor House and its gardens outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 39% of the 6,151 households in SE12 live in flats, 60% in houses.
22% of households rent privately and 60% own, which is why blinds and curtain fitting demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens behind the plaster in SE12. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Lee: manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays — one reason one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Fitters travelling in use Lee (Southeastern).

Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Lee on this side of Lewisham, with 27% 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 on the streets near The Manor House and its gardens, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact across SE12, with 39% of homes here being flats, which matters in Lee where 22% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on this side of Lewisham, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, and we say so before you buy.
Yes — it is the job we do most around The Manor House and its gardens in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops for Lee (SE12) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. 5 hours from £120.
We expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens in SE12 across SE12, with 27% one-person households here — and Lewisham parking rules in play, 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 in SE12, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first on this side of Lewisham — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
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 in Lee — and 6,151 households on this patch, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Lee (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern).
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 across SE12 — and 27% one-person households here, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Lee SE12 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Lewisham, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 22% of Lee privately rented and 60% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE12 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE12 jobs — and 22% of SE12 homes being privately rented, with 27% one-person households here.
