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.
