Q1.How much does blinds & curtain fitting cost in Aldridge?
Blinds & Curtain Fitting in Aldridge (WS9) starts from £50. We quote on the actual job — size, condition and access — and confirm the figure before we start, so there is no hourly creep and no surprise surcharges.
Q2.How long does blinds & curtain fitting take in Aldridge?
Around 90 minutes for a typical Aldridge job. Heavier build-up, larger properties or restricted access add time — we confirm the window when we book you in.
Q3.Do you cover WS9 and the surrounding West Midlands areas?
Yes — our Aldridge handyman teams cover WS9 plus walsall, pelsall, brownhills. Same- and next-day slots are usually available.
Q4.Do I need to supply any tools, screws or fixings?
No. Your Aldridge handyman arrives with cordless drills, an SDS hammer, stud and pipe detectors, spirit levels and the standard screws, plugs and anchors — including the 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster fixings this postcode calls for. Only specialist brackets or bespoke fittings are charged on, and we agree those with you before buying anything.
Q5.How is a Aldridge handyman visit charged?
A one-hour minimum, then 30-minute increments, with no call-out fee and no charge for travel inside WS9. If your list finishes early you pay for the time actually worked, and if you add jobs on the day we price them before starting rather than after.
Q6.Are you insured, and what happens if something is damaged?
Every handyman carries £2m public liability cover and works to a written method on anything structural. Damage is rare, but if it happens in your Aldridge property it is covered and put right — we photograph the work area before and after on request so there is never a dispute about what was already there.
Q7.What are the walls like in Aldridge, and will my fixing hold?
Aldridge properties are predominantly 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster: interwar semis and Corporation housing built as brick cavity walls, skimmed in gypsum, with joists running front-to-back at 400mm centres. That means nylon plugs into the outer leaf for light loads, and long cavity-spanning frame fixings for anything that cantilevers off the wall. Get it wrong and a fixing that only grips the plaster skim and the first 15mm of brick will sag within weeks once a load is hung on it. On load, good for heavy fixings provided the fixing reaches the brick — we always drill through the skim, never into it. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Q8.Do you bring everything needed for blinds & curtain fitting in Aldridge?
Yes. Our Aldridge handyman arrives with cordless drills, an SDS hammer, stud and pipe detectors, levels and the standard screws, plugs and anchors — including the 1930s cavity brick with gypsum plaster fixings this postcode needs. Only specialist brackets or bespoke fittings are charged separately, and we agree those with you before buying. Aldridge's larger detached stock and garages give us space to build gym equipment and outdoor furniture under cover if the weather turns.
