Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Richmond Hill and Ham fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for blinds and curtain fitting in Richmond Hill and Ham TW10? We work in Richmond Hill and Ham most weeks — the protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below — and price blinds and curtain fitting against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, brackets matched to the reveal, child-safety devices fitted and the old holes made good.


Overview
This page prices blinds and curtain fitting for Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 15% privately rented and 2,156 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Richmond Hill and Ham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Richmond Hill and Ham

With 15% private renting against 58% owner-occupied, most TW10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Richmond Hill and Ham substrates run to solid London stock brick in Richmond Hill and Ham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Richmond Hill and Ham gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a TW10 customer twice.
The protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below. That character decides the practical detail of blinds and curtain fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Richmond Hill and Ham 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: extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.
