Handyman & Assembly Services · Shropshire · SY8
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
Georgian and medieval market town on a bluff over the Teme, famed for its food scene and half-timbered inns. That housing mix shapes every blinds & curtain fitting job we run in SY8 — access, parking and the volume that actually comes out of a property.
Crews know the routes around Ludlow Castle and St Laurence's Church, 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 Ludlow town centre traffic and station parking, using the main A-road links rather than narrow SY8 back streets, and booking council recycling-centre slots in advance where waste has to be tipped. Teme valley damp holds moss in narrow lanes; conservation area lime mortar limits chemical use.
Not listed? We cover the whole of the West Midlands — ask and we'll confirm the next available slot.
On the ground in Ludlow
A blinds & curtain fitting in Ludlow is priced on time and access, but it succeeds or fails on the fixing. With heritage timber frame, lath and lime dominant across Shropshire, that is not a detail we leave to chance on site.
Ludlow 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.
Ludlow properties are predominantly heritage timber frame, lath and lime: conservation-area and listed stock — timber frame with wattle infill or lath, lime plaster finishes and irregular, out-of-true wall lines. That means hand-driven fixings into the frame wherever possible, breathable lime-compatible repairs, and no percussive drilling on historic fabric. Get it wrong and hammer action on lime plaster shells the face off in sheets, and on listed fabric an unauthorised fixing is a consent issue as well as a repair bill. On load, modest loads only unless we can reach the frame — we survey and tell you honestly before committing to a fixing. Our handyman carries the full fixing range in the van, so the substrate never turns into a second visit.
Teme valley damp holds moss in narrow lanes; conservation area lime mortar limits chemical use. For outdoor furniture, garden structures and anything fixed to an external wall in Ludlow, that dictates the sealant, the ground anchor and the corrosion grade of the fixings we use.
Ludlow's listed townhouses have steep narrow stairs and restricted parking inside the walls, so large items are assembled in situ wherever possible.
Every Ludlow 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.
