Blind Installation Melbourne — Servicing West Melbourne From $90

You've ordered new blinds or inherited a set that needs hanging, and now you're staring at brackets, screws, and a spirit level wondering if you've got the right drill bit. Blind installation looks straightforward until you hit brick veneer, misjudge the window frame depth, or realise the brackets don't sit flush because the architrave's in the way. Whether it's roller blinds for a rental in Footscray, timber Venetians in a Williamstown weatherboard, or blackout blinds for a nursery in Point Cook, getting them hung level and secure takes the right tools and a bit of know-how. Most jobs take 30–90 minutes depending on the number of windows and wall type, and a poor install means sagging fabric, uneven slats, or worse—blinds that pull away from the wall under their own weight.

We handle blind installation across Melbourne's west, from single windows to whole-home fitouts. Fill in the form on this page with your suburb, the number of blinds, and any tricky details (bay windows, tile walls, high ceilings), and we'll call you back within two hours with a fixed quote. No obligation, no site visit needed for straightforward jobs, and we bring every tool required—including masonry bits for brick and toggle anchors for plaster.

What's Included

When you book blind installation through us, the job covers:

Pre-install check of bracket placement and clearances to avoid clashes with window locks, handles, or external awnings
Drilling and fixing of all brackets into timber frames, brick, rendered masonry, or plasterboard using appropriate fixings (masonry anchors, toggle bolts, or timber screws)
Hanging and levelling the blind so the bottom rail sits parallel to the sill and the fabric or slats roll evenly
Function test of all mechanisms — cords, chains, wands, or motorised controllers — to confirm smooth operation
Minor adjustment of tension springs or cord locks if the blind doesn't hold position or retracts unevenly
Clean-up of all drill dust and packaging so your sills and floors are left tidy
Quick walkthrough on how to operate and care for the blind, including child-safety cord warnings where applicable

We don't supply the blinds themselves—bring-your-own from Bunnings, online suppliers, or a local blind shop, and we'll get them up. If you've bought from a retailer that charges separately for installation, we're often faster and cheaper.

Pricing

Blind installation starts from $90 per visit for a single standard-size window (up to 1.8 m wide) with timber or brick fixing points. That covers one roller, Venetian, or Roman blind on a straightforward window frame. Pricing adjusts based on:

Number of blinds and windows: multi-window jobs get a per-blind rate (typically $40–$60 each after the first) rather than per-visit, so a three-window bedroom costs less than three separate callouts
Wall or fixing type: standard timber reveals and brick are included; difficult substrates (metal frames, thick render, concrete lintels, or tile splashbacks) may add $20–$40 per window due to specialist drill bits and slower drilling
Blind size and weight: extra-wide blinds (over 2.4 m) or heavy timber Venetians need two-person handling and additional bracket support, adding $30–$50 to the job
Height and access: ground-floor and low first-floor windows are standard; anything requiring an extension ladder or scaffolding (above 3.5 m) incurs a surcharge
Bracket complexity: some motorised or dual-roller blinds use multi-piece bracket systems that take longer to align and fix

We quote fixed prices before we start—no hidden callout fees, no "didn't realise it was brick" excuses. If you're doing a whole house (six or more windows), mention it in the form and we'll price it as a package rate. The $90 entry price holds for simple single-window jobs across all our service suburbs, from Werribee to Yarraville.

Where We Work

We cover Melbourne's west from our base near the Sunshine–Footscray corridor, so you're never dealing with a tradie who's charging extra to cross town. Our service area includes the City of Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, and Brimbank councils, with typical response times under 48 hours for non-urgent installs and same-day or next-day for priority bookings.

Full suburb coverage:

We know the housing stock in each area—weatherboard cottages in Yarraville that need careful drilling to avoid splitting the frames, brick veneers in Tarneit where you can't just screw into render, and the steel-frame townhouses in Point Cook that need self-tapping screws or toggle anchors. Local knowledge means we bring the right gear first time.

Why Locals Choose Us

Fast callback and flexible scheduling: submit the form before 3 pm and you'll hear from us the same day, often within an hour. We run morning and afternoon slots Monday to Saturday, and we'll work around your schedule rather than forcing you into a vague four-hour window.

Fixed pricing before we start: the quote we give over the phone or via text is the price you pay. No "didn't factor in the brick" add-ons, no hourly rate that blows out because we hit a steel lintel. If the job turns out easier than expected, the price doesn't go up—if it's harder, we've already factored contingency into our quotes.

Fully insured for liability and accidental damage: we carry public liability cover up to $10 million and tools insurance. If a drill slips and cracks a tile, or a bracket punches through plaster, it's covered. You're not risking your bond or your walls by hiring an uninsured handy-person off Gumtree.

Real local operator, not a franchise dispatch system: you're booking direct with the person who does the work or directly manages the small crew. We're based in the west, we know the Bunnings at Sunshine and Altona, and we've installed blinds in half the estates around Truganina and Tarneit. No call-centre booking fee, no third-party markup.

Other Services We Offer

Beyond blind installation, we handle the full range of home maintenance and improvement jobs across Melbourne's west. If you're setting up a rental, refreshing your home, or ticking off a landlord's lease-end list, we can bundle services into one visit to save you multiple callouts.

Other services we provide:

Lawn Mowing — regular cuts, edging, and green waste removal for residential and rental properties
Handyman — picture hanging, shelf mounting, door adjustments, tap washers, and general repairs
Window Cleaning — inside and out, including frames and sills, for houses and townhouses
Pressure Washing — driveways, paths, decks, and exterior walls to restore curb appeal
Gardening — weeding, pruning, mulching, and seasonal tidy-ups
Flatpack Assembly — IKEA, Bunnings, and Kmart furniture built correctly and secured to walls where needed

Mention multiple jobs when you fill in the form and we'll quote them together, often at a lower combined rate than booking separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to supply the blinds or can you source them?

You supply the blinds—we're installation-only. Buy from Bunnings, online retailers like Blinds Online or Budget Blinds, or a local blind shop, and we'll fit them. This keeps costs down and gives you full control over style, colour, and quality. If the blinds arrive damaged or with missing brackets, sort that with the supplier before we come out.

Can you install blinds on metal window frames or sliding doors?

Yes, but it requires self-tapping screws or sometimes drilling and tapping pilot holes, which takes longer than timber or brick fixing. Metal frames in newer Point Cook or Tarneit townhouses are common, and we bring the right bits and screws. Expect a small surcharge ($20–$30 per window) compared to standard timber reveals, but it's all quoted upfront.

What if the blind doesn't fit the window properly when we unpack it?

If the blind's too wide, too narrow, or the wrong drop, that's a supplier issue—we can't modify the blind itself. Measure twice before ordering (inside the reveal for inside mounts, outside the frame for face-fit mounts). If you're unsure, send us a photo of the window and the product specs via the form and we'll advise before you buy.

How long does a typical blind installation take?

Single window with straightforward timber or brick fixing: 15–30 minutes. Three-bedroom house with six windows: 90 minutes to two hours. Large or heavy blinds, tricky wall types, or high windows add time. We'll give you an estimated duration when we quote so you know how long to set aside.

Can you install motorised or smart blinds?

Yes, as long as the motor unit and brackets are supplied with the blind. We'll mount the brackets, hang the motor tube, pair the remote or app if it's a simple button-press process, and test operation. If the blind requires mains wiring (not battery-powered), you'll need a licensed electrician to run the cable—we can coordinate that or you can arrange it separately before we arrive.
