Find a professional Roman blind fitter in Lothian Edinburgh

Our roman blind fitters can take care of installing your new roman blinds for your living room or bedroom, or even for your cafe or office space. They'll arrive at your location with the necessary tools needed for a fitting procedure, which can include a drill, a screwdriver, a tape measure, and a level. If you're getting your blinds fitter for the first time, here's what you can expect:

Measuring window frames

Taking proper window frame measurements is crucial for any blind fitting procedure. Your fitter starts by measuring the headrail to see if it fits your window. If they appear longer, it may be best to install your blinds outside your window recess. Afterwards, they proceed to mark the bracket mounting spots accordingly. Keep in mind that the total distance of the brackets will depend on the length measurement of the headrail.

Mounting of brackets

Depending on your preferred blind fitting, your Tasker might install your brackets either onto the ceiling for outside mounting, wall, or top corners inside your window frame. Then, they proceed with drilling holes based on the marked location and screwing brackets into the holes. They should be distanced equally around your window frames, ensuring that your roman blinds won't obstruct the window handle.

Roman blinds fixings

Some models or styles require different fitting methods, so ensure to hand over the manual to your fitter so they can efficiently follow the recommended procedure. Roman blinds typically have its fabric already attached to the headrail. In this case, your fitter can just snap the set directly onto the brackets, and it should be good to go. Otherwise, they can also follow the traditional way of fitting the headrail first, then followed by the shades.

Once your roman blinds are installed, your fitter can check the cord and chain to ensure that the shades lift and fall accordingly. They can also recheck if the screws, brackets, and headrails are all fastened and secured.

Restringing a roman blind

If your roman blinds are no longer folding neatly or moving smoothly, it might be due to frayed or broken strings. Your fitter may need to inspect your blinds to identify the cause of damage and perform the necessary repairs to prevent the same problem from recurring. They also might have to replace your old string with a thicker and more durable one, especially if the old string isn't strong enough to carry the fabric and mechanism of your roman blinds.
