Professional Blind & Curtain Installation Services

Curtains and blinds are one of the cheapest ways to make a room feel finished — and one of the easiest to get wrong. The headline mistakes are almost always at the measuring and bracket stage, before any drilling.

Curtain rules of thumb

• Hang the pole 15–20 cm above the window so the eye reads the wall as taller.
• Extend brackets 15–25 cm either side of the frame so curtains stack clear of the glass when open.
• Hem to puddle, kiss the floor, or 1 cm above — never the dreaded 5 cm gap.
• Fix into studs or use proper plasterboard fixings rated for at least 4× the curtain weight.

Blind rules of thumb

• Recess fit looks neater on a square reveal — measure the narrowest point, not the widest.
• Face fit is more forgiving for older houses where the reveal isn't square.
• Always level the brackets to each other, not to the window — old window frames lie.

We can supply or fit

If you've already bought your blinds or curtains, we'll fit them. If you'd rather we measure and source the lot, we can do that too — usually with a couple of trusted local makers we work with regularly.
