Question 2

Do curtains blinds installers charge call-out fees?

Accepted Answer

Call‑out fees are common and often cover travel and the initial assessment. Many installers separate the call‑out from labour and materials charges, and after‑hours or emergency attendances are typically charged at a higher rate. It’s worth confirming any minimum charges or call‑out terms when you request a quote.

Question 3

What qualifications should I look for in a curtains blinds installer?

Accepted Answer

While government licences are not required for this trade, look for industry memberships such as the Window Shading Association of Australia or the Australian Window Association, an active ABN, and evidence of public liability insurance. Check for compliance with relevant safety standards for corded coverings, use of child‑safe cordless or wand options where children are present, and an installer label affixed after installation.
