Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
Blinds and curtain fitting in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post rather than a London average.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW14, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen actually produces in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood.
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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, timed against the walk in from Mortlake (South Western)
- On SW14 jobs: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, agreed on the doorstep in Mortlake and East Sheen before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: bS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, allowing for the 28% of SW14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, noted on the Mortlake and East Sheen 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, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead

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

Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
In Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) the split is 50% flats to 50% houses over 4,944 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 28% private renting against 56% owner-occupied, most SW14 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Mortlake and East Sheen substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW14 customer twice.
Mortlake and East Sheen 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 — the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade — which is why a SW14 quote is not a Richmond upon Thames average.
Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. Nearest station is Mortlake (South Western), and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
