What moves the price
- Blind or curtain type — a roller blind is quick to fit, while wooden venetian and electric blinds take longer
- Bay and skylight windows — curved tracks, bay poles and roof windows need more measuring and fixing
- Wall above the window — a concrete lintel or crumbling plaster slows the drilling for a curtain pole
- Number of windows — fitting a whole house at once cuts the cost per window
- Inside or outside the recess — blinds fitted inside the reveal need exact measuring and sometimes packers
- Area — curtain and blind fitting in London costs more than the same job in the Midlands
Home repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical curtain & blind fitting would have cost about £50 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Have every curtain pole and blind fitted on one visit instead of window by window
- Order made-to-measure blinds only after measuring the window recess twice yourself
- Choose roller or vertical blinds where you can, as they are the quickest to fit
Before you book
- Check every blind and curtain has arrived and matches the window it is meant for before the fitting
- Blinds with cords need child-safety devices fitted, so check they are in the box before the fitter arrives
- Clear sills and move furniture away from each window the fitter needs to reach
- Say whether you want blinds inside or outside the recess before the fitting is booked
Curtain & Blind Fitting cost: questions people ask
£30–£120 per window, around £70 on average. A roller blind or simple pole outside London is cheapest; skylight and electric blinds cost the most.
Most blinds take twenty minutes to an hour per window. A whole house of roller blinds can be done in an afternoon.
Yes. Blinds sold in the UK must meet child-safety rules on looped cords and chains, and fitters should install the tensioner or cleat at a safe height.
Many can, though buying your own and paying for fitting only keeps the cost down. Made-to-measure blinds are usually measured by the supplier first.
The curtains, blinds and poles themselves, hemming or altering curtains, and repairs to the plaster around the window.
