Overview
Blinds and curtain fitting in Soho W1, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Tottenham Court Road, blinds and curtain fitting here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 98% of Soho'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 Soho
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, as the Soho stock goes, and with 52% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Soho customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Soho wall.
Booked around your day
Most borough slots are within 48 hours, with evening and Saturday appointments available. Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Soho walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Soho actually produces in W1, 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 — and with 53% one-person households in Soho, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Soho
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. |

Scope
What's included in Soho
The same scope across W1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W1 jobs: reveal survey before drilling — depth, square and lintel type, agreed on the doorstep in Soho before anything is unpacked
- In Soho: brackets matched to sash boxes, lintels, dot-and-dab or uPVC, timed against the walk in from Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line)
- BS EN 13120 child-safety device on every corded blind, noted on the Soho job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Westminster bookings: old poles removed, holes filled flush, packaging taken away, allowing for the 52% of W1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Made-to-measure blinds ordered to the wrong size — we re-measure and reorder, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W1
- Structural alterations, new lintels or plastering beyond making good the holes, which we refer on to the right trade in Soho
- Hard-wired mains blind circuits — notifiable work for a registered electrician, handled by Westminster City Council 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. 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.

Working in Soho
Soho W1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Soho — the numbers that actually change a blinds and curtain fitting quote.
The W1 stock around Carnaby Street and Golden Square is Georgian and early Victorian. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 4,257 households in Soho.
Owner-occupation runs at 20% in Soho, so alongside the 52% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Soho substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Soho actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 53% one-person households in Soho, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Soho knows the pattern near Carnaby Street and Golden Square: post-production studios, restaurants and above-shop flats packed into a Georgian grid. We plan the W1 visit around it. Soho 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: pedestrian zones, night-time economy congestion and no lifts in most walk-ups — carry-up is the default. Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line) 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 Soho W1 — your questions.
How much does blinds and curtain fitting cost in Soho W1?
Single roller or venetian blind starts at £45 in Soho on W1 jobs, 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 in Soho, with 4,257 households on this patch.
Can you fit blinds without drilling into a uPVC frame in Soho W1?
Usually yes — no-drill tension brackets keep the window warranty intact on this side of Westminster, with 98% of homes here being flats, which matters in Soho where 52% of homes are privately rented. Heavy wooden venetians and blackout Romans still need a fixed bracket on W1 jobs, with this being Westminster City Council territory, and we say so before you buy.
Do you fit bay window poles and tracks in Soho?
Yes — it is the job we do most around Carnaby Street and Golden Square 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 this side of Westminster, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. 5 hours from £120. Near Carnaby Street and Golden Square that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
What are the window reveals like in Soho?
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Soho actually produces in W1 on W1 jobs, with 53% one-person households here — and 52% of W1 homes being privately rented, 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 53% one-person households in Soho, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site around Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line) — and 4,257 households on this patch, with Westminster parking rules in play.
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 Soho rounds. Soho sits close to Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line) on Westminster bookings, with this being a short walk from Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line) — and this being Westminster City Council territory, so we can usually add a W1 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Soho?
Pedestrian zones, night-time economy congestion and no lifts in most walk-ups — carry-up is the default on W1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, Elizabeth line). 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 on the streets near Carnaby Street and Golden Square, with 20% owner-occupation locally.
Are your fitters insured for work in W1?
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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and Westminster parking rules in play, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Westminster, with this being Westminster City Council territory. Westminster City Council rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
