Handyman & Assembly Services · West Midlands · DY1
Roller, venetian, vertical, roman and perfect-fit blinds, plus curtain poles, tracks and bay-window systems. Bay windows are the West Midlands speciality problem — Edwardian and Victorian bays across Kings Heath, Moseley and Sutton Coldfield need a bent or jointed pole set out to the actual angles, not an off-the-shelf straight run. One-hour minimum then 30-minute increments, no call-out fee, and £2m public liability cover on every West Midlands visit.

Local knowledge
Historic Black Country capital with a Norman castle, Victorian market place and terraced hill streets. That housing mix shapes every blinds & curtain fitting job we run in DY1 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around Dudley Castle and Dudley Zoo, plan loading where residents' parking is tight, and work to the collection windows your street or building allows.
Day to day that means working around Dudley town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow DY1 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Wren's Nest limestone dust re-deposits on nearby patios during dry spells.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Dudley
A blinds & curtain fitting in Dudley is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With staffordshire blue engineering brick dominant across West Midlands, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Dudley landlords and letting agents book us between tenancies for bed frames, wardrobe repairs, re-hung blinds and re-fixed shelving — the small defects that hold up an inventory sign-off.
Dudley properties are predominantly staffordshire blue engineering brick: Black Country terraces and workshops built from Staffordshire blue engineering brick — near-vitrified, low-porosity and famously unforgiving. That means SDS-plus rotary hammers with tungsten-tipped bits, resin anchors for anything structural, and slow speeds so the bit does not glaze over. Get it wrong and a standard combi drill and masonry bit will skate across blue brick, burn out the bit and leave a shiny crater instead of a hole. On load, once anchored, blue brick is the strongest substrate in the region — it will out-carry the bracket every time. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Wren's Nest limestone dust re-deposits on nearby patios during dry spells. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Dudley, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Dudley's terraced streets on the limestone ridge have stepped front approaches, so heavy gym equipment and wardrobes are quoted with a two-person crew.
Every Dudley visit is billed from a one-hour minimum then in 30-minute increments, with no call-out fee. If the list finishes early you pay for the time actually worked.

Dudley (DY1, West Midlands) is historic Black Country capital with a Norman castle, Victorian market place and terraced hill streets. Dudley Castle and Dudley Zoo anchors the area, and the streets around it are built largely in Local Silurian limestone kerbs, blue engineering brick and modern block paving.
That matters for blinds & curtain fitting: wren's Nest limestone dust re-deposits on nearby patios during dry spells. Roughly 37% of the housing stock here pre-dates the war and 50% is flats or terraces, so our crews plan for stair turns, shared entries and tight kerbside loading rather than assuming driveway access.
We work Dudley alongside Tipton, Sedgley, Cradley Heath, Halesowen, which keeps travel time short and lets us hold morning and afternoon slots in the same DY1 run.
Our Dudley crews are the West Midlands crews. They know that named by town and island, not by borough or postcode district, that clean Air Zone compliant vans, permits arranged in advance, slots given as times not windows, and that a blinds & curtain fitting booking in DY1 is judged on turning up when we said we would. Everything below is written the way the job is actually described on the doorstep here.
