Pricing guide

Price variation is driven mainly by the type of track and how complex the mount is. Standard manual installs on typical walls are usually quicker, while curved, recessed or motorised systems often need extra measuring, specialised fixings or commissioning and are typically more expensive. Additional factors such as needing new power wiring, difficult access or after‑hours attendance can also increase the final cost.

  • Track type and mechanism

    Manual tracks are generally simpler than motorised units, which need additional time for motor placement and commissioning.

  • Mounting complexity and shape

    Curved rails, bay returns or recessed ceiling installs usually require more measuring, templates or specialised fixings.

  • Need for electrical work

    If new power wiring or hardwiring is required for motorised tracks, a licensed electrician is typically needed and adds scope.

  • Quantity and length of tracks

    More windows or longer continuous runs increase materials and installation time compared with a single small window.

  • Site access and fixing substrate

    High ceilings, difficult access or hard wall/ceiling materials can require extra equipment or specialised fixings, affecting labour.

Frequently asked questions

Do installers need a licence to fit tracks?
Curtain and blind installation is generally unlicensed in Australia, so installers typically do not need a trade licence to fit tracks. However, any new electrical wiring for motorised systems will usually require a licensed electrician and that work is normally treated separately.
How long will a standard install usually take?
Standard manual track installs are usually completed in a single visit by a one‑person team using ladder access. Bespoke curved fittings or motorised systems typically need extra measuring, possible template work or commissioning and can take longer or require additional visits.
Do installers supply tracks and fixings?
Installers commonly supply standard tracks, rods and fixings by default for typical residential work. If you want bespoke materials, curved tracks or heavier‑duty fittings, these are usually specified separately and may require special ordering.
Will I need an electrician for a motorised track?
Installers often include commissioning and basic programming of motorised units when that is within their scope. If the job requires new power wiring or hardwiring, a licensed electrician is typically needed to carry out that electrical work and it is usually arranged separately.
