Pricing guide

Costs are driven mainly by the product you choose and the installer labour and callout applied to the job. Precision items like plantation shutters or premium/motorisable-ready systems typically add labour and specialised hardware, while difficult fixings or after-hours attendance can also increase the final cost.

  • Materials and product type

    Standard curtains or blinds are usually less complex than premium, custom or motorisable-ready systems which need heavier or specialised hardware.

  • Number and size of openings

    More windows or larger openings increase total installer labour and material requirements.

  • Installer callout and labour time

    Quotes typically separate a callout fee and hourly labour, so total labour hours and whether work is after-hours affect cost.

  • Fixings and site conditions

    Mounting into masonry, very high windows or awkward access often needs specialist fixings or longer installation time.

Frequently asked questions

How is installation time estimated?
Profiles typically include total installer labour for measuring and fitting, separate from the callout fee. Actual time usually depends on the number of windows, the product chosen and any site complications such as access or special fixings.
Do I need an electrician for motorised blinds?
If motorisation requires hardwiring or new power runs, an electrician is usually needed because electrical work is not included in motorisable-ready installation profiles. Battery-powered or plug-in motors may avoid additional electrical work.
Are curtain and blind installers licensed?
This trade is listed as unlicensed, so formal licensing is not usually required. Given that, it's typically wise to confirm an installer's experience, ask for references, and check whether they provide any workmanship assurances.
What should I tell installers when requesting a quote?
Mention the product type (standard blinds, plantation shutters or premium/motorisable-ready), number and size of openings, and whether windows are masonry or out-of-square. Also note any access issues or desired timing so the installer can allow for appropriate fixings and labour.
