If you’ve bought new blinds for your home, the next step is getting them fitted. But how much does blind installation in Blackburn actually cost?
The price depends on the type of blinds, the number of windows, and the complexity of the job. Here’s a simple guide to help you budget.
Average Blind Installation Costs in Blackburn
- Roller blinds – from £60–£80 per window
- Venetian blinds (metal/wood) – from £60–£80 per window
- Vertical blinds – from £60–£80 per window
- Roman blinds – from £60–£80 per window
- Bay window blinds – from £100+ depending on size and fittings
These are typical local handyman rates in Blackburn, but costs may vary depending on your blinds and wall type.
Factors That Affect the Cost
- Type of blinds – heavier blinds (like Roman or wood Venetians) take longer to install.
- Window size – large or bay windows require more time and fixings.
- Wall type – plasterboard walls may need special anchors and reinforcements.
- Number of windows – many handymen offer discounts for multiple blinds fitted in one visit.
DIY vs Hiring a Handyman
Fitting blinds yourself might seem like a way to save money, but it often leads to:
- Crooked blinds
- Loose fittings that pull out of the wall
- Wasted time and frustration
Hiring a professional handyman means:
Blinds are fitted securely and level
The right fixings are used for your walls
A neat, professional finish every time
What affects the cost of fitting blinds
Blind fitting is priced on the job rather than a flat fee. The main factors are how many blinds and windows there are, whether each blind is fitted inside the recess or on the wall face, the material you are drilling into (a uPVC frame, timber or a masonry reveal all differ), the type of blind, and whether any need adjusting or cutting to size. One roller blind is quick; a houseful of made-to-measure blinds is a bigger job.
Getting a quick, accurate quote
The easiest way to get a price is to tell me how many windows you have and send a photo or two. Fitting several blinds in a single visit is more cost-effective than separate trips, so it is worth doing them together where you can. Typical starting prices are on my guide prices page.
