Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Custom House E16, explained
Blinds and curtain fitting in Custom House E16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them post-war. 3,330 households sit inside this E16 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near Custom House station and Victoria Dock rather than a London average.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Custom House customers book us
Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Newham bookings: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
- Brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC — including blinds and curtain fitting
- In Custom House: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, the way it is done on Custom House jobs
- On E16 jobs: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
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 Custom House
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, and we will say so before the E16 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. 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.

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
In Custom House (E16) the split is 50% flats to 50% houses over 3,330 households, and the stock is post-war.
Because 24% of Custom House is privately rented and 49% socially rented, a lot of E16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Custom House substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of blinds and curtain fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Custom House E16?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Custom House in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, 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 in Custom House, with 26% owner-occupation locally.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Custom House E16?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on this side of Newham, with 50% of homes here being flats, which matters in Custom House where 24% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket in Custom House, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Custom House?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Custom House station and Victoria Dock in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on Newham bookings, with 3,330 households on this patch. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Custom House?
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit on this side of Newham, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses — and 50% of homes here being flats, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E16, 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 Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it across E16 — and 3,330 households on this patch, with 49% social-rented stock nearby, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
What is not included in blinds and curtain fitting in Custom House?
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 50% flats neighbourhood — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with 50% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Custom House E16 price you agree is the price you pay around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
Who books blinds and curtain fitting in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Newham, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to on E16 jobs, with 26% one-person households here, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with Newham parking rules in play.
