Pricing guide

Costs are driven by the number and complexity of blinds or curtains, and by whether the system is manual or motorised. Jobs that need full headrail or track replacement, specialist motors, or height equipment typically require more time and materials. Parts availability, diagnostic time and any required electrician or extra installers can also increase the final scope.

  • Number and complexity of units

    More windows and more complex mechanisms generally increase diagnostic and labour time.

  • Motorised systems and controls

    Motor or controller faults usually require specialist diagnostics and may need model-specific parts with longer lead times.

  • Headrail and track replacement

    Full replacement or fabrication of tracks and heavy fixings typically adds significant labour and material variability.

  • Access, height and equipment needs

    High or awkward access can require scaffold, extra installers or rope-access, which usually extends the job.

  • Parts availability and lead times

    Common small parts are often replaced on-site, but unavailable or specialised components may delay completion and require follow-up visits.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a repair usually take?
Simple repairs to manual coverings are typically completed in a single visit, depending on the number of units. If a motor, full track replacement or ordered parts are needed, diagnosis and sourcing can extend the timeline and may require a return visit.
Will the installer carry replacement parts?
Installers often carry common small parts like cords, pulleys and slats and can usually complete straightforward fixes on-site. Model-specific motors or special headrail sections typically need to be ordered and may delay completion.
Could I need an electrician for motorised blinds?
Many motor faults can be handled by the installer, but if mains wiring or fixed electrical work is required, an electrician will usually be needed. Installers will typically recommend or coordinate separate electrical work when it is necessary.
Do curtain and blind installers need a licence?
This trade is generally unlicensed, so installers usually do not need a tradesperson licence. However, any electrical or structural work identified during the job will generally require appropriately licensed professionals and their compliance documentation.
