Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Fitzrovia W1, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Goodge Street, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 98% of Fitzrovia's 4,257 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Fitzrovia
Five steps, the same on every W1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — with 28% 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 Fitzrovia customers book us
Four things decide whether a W1 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. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Goodge Street (Northern) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fitzrovia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 53% one-person households in Fitzrovia, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Fitzrovia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Fitzrovia actually produces.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Fitzrovia
Fixed prices for W1 and the rest of Westminster. 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. |

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.

Fitzrovia W1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Fitzrovia — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
4,257 households sit inside the W1 neighbourhood covering Fitzrovia. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 98% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (20% owned, 52% privately rented) means a W1 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 53% one-person households in Fitzrovia, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Fitzrovia is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Fitzrovia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Fitzrovia actually produces.
Media offices, university buildings and Georgian terraces around Charlotte Street. That character decides the practical detail of blinds and curtain fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Fitzrovia sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. Goodge Street (Northern) is the nearest station, and one fitter for standard windows; two for bent bay tracks or full-height stairwell blinds.

Common questions
Blinds and curtain fitting in Fitzrovia W1 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Fitzrovia W1?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Fitzrovia for Fitzrovia (W1) addresses, with this being Westminster City Council 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 on Westminster bookings, with 4,257 households on this patch.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Fitzrovia W1?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on W1 jobs, with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses, which matters in Fitzrovia where 52% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on the Fitzrovia rounds, with 28% social-rented stock nearby, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Fitzrovia?
Yes — it is the job we do most around The BT Tower in this 98% flats neighbourhood. Bays here are rarely symmetrical, so each angle is measured and the track bent or the blinds cut to individual drops on Westminster bookings, with 2% of Fitzrovia homes being houses. 5 hours from £120.
What are the window reveals like in Fitzrovia?
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and this being Westminster City Council territory, with Westminster parking rules in play, and with 53% one-person households in Fitzrovia, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in W1, 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 Fitzrovia gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs around Goodge Street (Northern), with 53% one-person households here, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Fitzrovia actually produces.
How quickly can you reach Fitzrovia from your Westminster round?
The BT Tower is the marker we route to on this side of Westminster, with 52% of W1 homes being privately rented, and weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. A W1 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with this being Westminster City Council territory.
Is same-day or evening blinds and curtain fitting available in Westminster?
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available on the streets near The BT Tower. Fitzrovia sits close to Goodge Street (Northern), with The BT Tower a few streets away, so we can usually add a W1 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice for Fitzrovia (W1) addresses.
Do you handle difficult access in Fitzrovia?
Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor on this side of Westminster. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Westminster City Council it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with The BT Tower a few streets away. On Fitzrovia jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
