Several factors determine the amount of time it takes to fit blinds. This task can take as little as 30 minutes or not be completed for several hours.

The following factors influence the time it takes to fit blinds:

• Type of blinds
• Blind size
• Number of windows
• Blind position (hanging blinds on difficult to access windows is more time consuming)

• Additional blind features (i.e. electric opening components and protective shields)

  It is also difficult to provide an exact timeframe for fitting curtains. A standard curtain pole can be fitted in 20 - 30 minutes but more complex installations are more time consuming.

We recommend asking a professional for an estimated project time frame. An experienced curtain/blind fitter in LU6 can give you a good idea of how long the job will take.

It is possible to fit curtains yourself if you have the required tools and experience. DIY curtain fitting is a budget-friendly solution but hanging curtains yourself can be challenging.

A professional curtain installation may be more expensive but often hiring a curtain fitter is worth the additional costs.
