Blinds & Curtains Fitting across the West Midlands
Blind fitting fails in predictable ways: the blind fouls the window handle, the bracket is screwed into a plastic reveal that will not hold it, or a bay window's angles are treated as if they were 90 degrees. All three are avoidable by measuring properly and choosing the fixing point deliberately.
We fit inside or outside the reveal depending on your handles, trickle vents and the blind's stack height, fix into the lintel or the frame timber rather than into hollow uPVC, and check the drop and clearance before a single hole is made.
Curtain poles and tracks bring their own load question — a lined pair of curtains on a wide bay is a serious weight, so brackets go into the lintel or into properly fixed timber, never into the plaster of a reveal edge.
Window fitting in this region is decided by the window, and the West Midlands has an unusual spread of them: Victorian bays with deep splayed reveals, 1930s metal Crittall frames, 1960s concrete-lintel openings and modern uPVC with barely 60mm of plaster to fix into.
We measure to the fitting method rather than the nominal opening — recess or face fit, top or side fix, lintel or reveal — and drill knowing what is behind. Above a window is exactly where a steel lintel, a cavity closer or a trickle-vent housing sits, and hitting one of those with a curtain-track screw is a bad afternoon.
How it works in the West Midlands
- Step 1
Send us the details
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in the West Midlands are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
- Step 2
We price it in writing
You get a written figure for blinds & curtains fitting, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to the West Midlands.
- Step 3
Pick your slot
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around the West Midlands traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
- Step 4
Job done and checked
The team works to the agreed spec, walks the finished work with you and only closes the job once you're happy. Anything missed, we come back.
What's included
Measured and set out first
Handles, trickle vents, stack height and drop all checked before drilling, so the blind clears everything it needs to.
Fixed into something solid
Lintel, frame timber or masonry — never into hollow uPVC trim or the crumbling edge of a reveal.
Bays and angles handled
Bay poles bent or angle-jointed to the real angle of your window, not the assumed one.
Child-safety compliant
Chain restraints and breakaway devices fitted to current safety standards on every corded blind.
Heavy curtain support
Poles and tracks bracketed for lined and interlined curtains, with intermediate supports on wide runs.
Multiple rooms in one visit
A whole house of blinds is a half or full day and far cheaper than room-by-room bookings.
Bay poles jointed to the real angles
Angles taken on site and the pole bent or jointed to them, rather than forced from a standard kit.
Child-safety compliance
Cord cleats, chain breakers and tensioners fitted to BS EN 13120 as standard on every corded blind.

Local knowledge that changes the job
Bay windows, the region's default front room
Bay-fronted Edwardian and interwar housing is the dominant style across Kings Heath, Erdington, Bearwood, Wednesfield, Stirchley and much of Coventry, and almost none of those bays are the textbook 45 or 90 degrees. Older houses have settled, and a pole cut to a nominal angle will not sit against the wall.
We measure the actual angles on site and use bendable or jointed bay poles set to them. On a three-sided bay with heavy lined curtains we also add an intermediate bracket per section, because the pole will bow within a season otherwise.
uPVC replacements in period reveals
Most of the region's period housing now has replacement uPVC windows fitted into the original masonry reveal, which leaves a hollow trim and packers where you would expect solid timber. A bracket screwed into that trim pulls out under a loaded blind.
We locate the frame reinforcement or fix back to the lintel above, and on stone or blue-brick reveals in the Black Country we drill the mortar line rather than the hard engineering brick face, which is far kinder to both the bit and the wall.
Victorian and Edwardian bays
Square bays, canted bays and the shallow splay bay are all common across Moseley, Kings Heath, Harborne, Leamington and the older Coventry suburbs, and almost none of them are the tidy angles a bay-pole kit assumes. A canted bay that reads as 45 degrees is frequently 38 on one side and 52 on the other after a century of settlement.
We take the angles on site with a bevel, then bend or joint the pole to those figures. A forced kit is the reason bay curtains snag at the corner and refuse to draw fully, and it is not fixable with more rings.
Crittall windows and 1930s steel frames
Interwar semis across Erdington, Bearwood, Wednesfield and Coventry frequently still carry their original Crittall steel frames, with almost no timber and a very shallow reveal. Drilling the frame is possible but usually the wrong call — it breaches the galvanising and lets rust in.
Those windows are face-fixed into the surrounding masonry above the opening instead, on brackets projected far enough to clear the frame's opening light. Perfect-fit blinds, which clip to uPVC beading, are not an option there and we will say so before you order them.
What is above the window in a new-build
On the Dickens Heath, Monkspath, Longbridge and Warwickshire new-build estates the plasterboard above a window is often only a thin skin over a cavity closer, with a steel or concrete lintel behind and a trickle-vent housing in the frame head. There is very little safe fixing depth.
We detect before drilling and fix into the lintel with the correct masonry anchor, or extend the bracket down to a solid line. A track pulled out of new-build board takes a fist-sized piece of the ceiling angle with it, so this is not the place to guess.

When the job is a move, not a fixing

Poles, tracks and blinds removed, labelled by room and refitted at the new property.

Blinds & Curtains Fitting in the West Midlands — FAQs
Q1.How much does blind fitting cost?
A single blind starts at £45 with additional blinds in the same visit from £20 each. A curtain pole or track is from £55, and a bay window pole from £120 because the angles have to be set to your actual bay.
Q2.Can you fit blinds to uPVC windows without drilling the frame?
In many cases yes — perfect-fit and no-drill brackets clip to the glazing bead on suitable frames. Where the blind is heavy or the bead will not take it, we fix to the lintel above the reveal instead.
Q3.Do you fit curtain poles in bay windows?
Yes. We measure the real angles of your bay, which in the region's settled period housing are rarely the nominal ones, and use bendable or jointed poles with intermediate brackets on each section.
Q4.Are your fittings child-safe?
Yes. Every corded blind is fitted with the chain restraint or breakaway device required by current child-safety standards, secured to the wall as part of the job.
Q5.Can you fit a whole house of blinds in one visit?
Usually yes — a typical three-bed house is a half to full day, and it costs far less than booking room by room because there is a single call-out and a single minimum charge.
Q6.Can you fit curtains in a bay window?
Yes, from £120. We take the real angles on site with a bevel and bend or joint the pole to them — canted bays in the region's Victorian housing are rarely the neat 45 degrees a standard kit assumes, and a forced kit is why bay curtains snag at the corner.
Q7.Can you fit blinds to Crittall steel windows?
We face-fix into the masonry above rather than drilling the steel, which would breach the galvanising and start rust. Perfect-fit blinds that clip into uPVC beading will not work on Crittall, and we will tell you that before you order.
Q8.Do you fit motorised blinds?
Yes, from £110 including pairing and setting up the remote or app. Where a hard-wired supply is needed we specify it and coordinate with an electrician rather than improvising a spur.
Q9.Are your blinds child-safe?
Every corded blind we fit gets a cleat, chain breaker or tensioner to BS EN 13120 as standard, fitted at the required height — it is not an optional extra and we do not leave a loose cord behind.
