Pricing guide

Costs are primarily driven by the callout plus hourly labour for a single tradesperson visit, with materials added when a product is supplied. Supplying off‑the‑shelf curtains or specialist components and installing motorised systems typically increases the materials and labour involved, and motorised work may also require an electrician. After‑hours attendance usually attracts an uplift.

  • Callout fee and labour time

    Standard pricing assumes a single tradesperson visit for diagnosis and typical repair work, so longer jobs or extra labour increase cost.

  • Supply versus repair-only

    Providing off‑the‑shelf curtains or blinds adds material cost and installation time compared with a repair‑only visit.

  • Motorised and specialist hardware

    Motorised tracks or specialist mounts require higher‑grade components and additional labour and may involve electrical work.

  • Access, height and mounting complexity

    High windows, difficult access or heavy/complex mountings typically make the job take longer and need specialised fixings.

  • Number of windows and bespoke work

    Multiple windows, custom sizes or bespoke fabrics often require more time, materials or additional visits and can widen the scope.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the job usually take?
Most standard repairs or single‑window installs are typically covered in a single tradesperson visit for diagnosis and repair or install. If the job is more complex, involves multiple windows or bespoke items, additional visits may be needed.
Will installers supply curtains or blinds?
Some installers supply typical off‑the‑shelf curtains or blinds as part of a supply & install profile, while the standard repair profile usually assumes no full product supply. If you want supplied products, it's useful to say whether you want off‑the‑shelf or bespoke so the installer can allow for materials and possible extra visits.
Do motorised blinds need an electrician?
Motorised installations may require a licensed electrician depending on wiring needs, and electrician fees are generally additional to the installer’s allowance. Battery‑operated units can sometimes avoid hardwiring, so discuss power requirements up front.
What if the installer finds more work is needed?
If scope is uncertain or the installer uncovers more complex issues, the job is typically moved into a wider 'unsure' or higher‑scope band which can increase the quote and may require extra visits. Bespoke manufacture or multi‑visit installs are usually treated separately from standard single‑visit supply profiles.
