Curtain & Blind Fitting FAQs

Can a handyman fit all types of blinds and curtains?

‍Yes, from roller and Venetian blinds to heavy curtain rails and blackout tracks. Professionals bring the right fixings for wood, plaster, or brick walls to ensure a perfect fit.

Do I need to provide my own fittings?

‍If you already have the rails or brackets, that’s fine. If not, your handyman can provide quality fittings on site to match your curtain or blind type.

Can you fit blinds into tricky window frames or bay windows?

‍Absolutely. Experienced handymen measure and mount accurately for non standard or bay windows, ensuring alignment and symmetry.

How much does curtain or blind fitting cost?

‍Typical pricing starts from £50 for one window, with discounts for multiple fittings. You’ll always see the cost upfront before confirming the booking.

How long does installation take?

‍Most fittings take 30 to 60 minutes per window. Complex bay windows or heavy drapery may require longer for perfect alignment and finishing.

Can a handyman remove old fittings?

‍Yes. Old rails, brackets, or blinds can be removed and disposed of safely before new installation, just mention it during booking.

Are installations covered by insurance?

‍Yes. Every fitting is performed by a trusted, insured pro and covered by Hey Alfie’s £1,000 guarantee.

Do I need to be home during fitting?

‍Ideally yes, to confirm placement and style preferences. However, if access is arranged, many repeat customers simply leave instructions. Jobs are fully guaranteed either way.
