Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Maida Vale W9, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Maida Vale, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 95% of Maida Vale's 3,623 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How blinds and curtain fitting works in Maida Vale
Five steps, the same on every W9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Maida Vale stock goes, which is what a 95% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Maida Vale actually produces 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 Maida Vale customers book us
Four things decide whether a W9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Maida Vale (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a W9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Maida Vale walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the pattern behind 3,623 households inside the W9 neighbourhood in W9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Fixed prices
Blinds and curtain fitting prices in Maida Vale
Fixed prices for W9 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. |

Scope
What's included in Maida Vale
The same scope across W9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W9 jobs: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, blinds and curtain fitting london included
- In Maida Vale: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, sized for the mansion blocks with small lifts and porters, resident bays all week and narrow canal-side roads

- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Maida Vale bookings

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

Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Maida Vale W9?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Maida Vale (Bakerloo), which matters in Maida Vale where 48% of homes are privately rented.
