Getting new blinds fitted is exciting! They’re often the finishing touch to a home project or the perfect way to freshen up a room.

Whichever room you’re adding new blinds too, there a few things you can do to help the installation process go smoothly. The good news? You don’t need to do much at all and a few simple things can help the installation fly by.

Clear the Space Around Your Windows

This is the biggest help you can offer before we arrive. We bring all the tools we need but we always appreciate it when you give our installers room to work safely and get the job done quickly. If you can, try to:

• Move furniture a few feet away from the window.
• Take down old curtains or rails if they’re being replaced.
• Clear windowsills of plants, photo frames or ornaments.
• Make sure any pets are secure.

You don’t need to empty the whole room, just create enough space for us to work comfortably. If you’ve got heavy curtains up, we can help remove those if needed. Don’t stress about moving everything if you can’t, we’re happy to help.

Check Your Window Frames

Take a moment to look over your window frames before installation day. Are they in good condition? Any cracks or damage should be sorted first, as blinds need a solid surface to fix onto. If you spot anything concerning, let us know and we can advise you on the best course of action.

Think of Questions You Might Have

No question is too small. Want to know how to clean your new blinds? Curious about child safety features or motorised options? Ask away.
