Pricing guide

Price variation is mainly driven by the type of covering and how much labour is needed to fit it. Owner-supplied, correctly sized blinds are generally quicker to install, while made-to-measure curtains, multiple tracks or plantation shutters usually require more time and skill. Access, the need for additional fixings or installer-supplied materials, and after-hours attendance can also affect the final cost.

  • Product type and complexity

    Simple roller or venetian blinds are usually quicker than curtain tracks or plantation shutters, which require more precise fitting.

  • Quantity and number of windows

    Total labour typically scales with how many coverings need installing across the home.

  • Access and opening conditions

    High windows, recessed ceilings, masonry walls or awkward access often increase installation time and may require a second person.

  • Installer-supplied materials or extra services

    If the installer must supply tracks, extensive fixings or make alterations, the job scope and time required typically increase; electrical hardwiring is excluded and would involve a separate trade.

Frequently asked questions

How long will an install usually take?
Simple single blind fittings are typically much quicker than curtain track or shutter installs, which are more labour-intensive. Overall time usually depends on the number of windows, access difficulty and whether levelling or two-person lifts are needed.
Do installers usually supply the products?
Many homeowners supply finished coverings ready to fit, which is the default assumption. Some installers can supply tracks or complete products, but that often changes the scope and the provider will outline product versus labour responsibilities.
How should I prepare before the installer arrives?
It's usually helpful to have coverings measured and ready-to-fit and to clear the immediate work area around each window. Also confirm safe access to windows and mention any difficult wall types or ceiling recesses when requesting quotes.
Do curtain and blind installers need a licence?
This trade is generally unlicensed in Australia. Any electrical work such as hardwiring is excluded and would typically need a licensed electrician to complete.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to curtains blinds installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
