A useful curtain rod installation enquiry in Balaclava shows both the item and its surroundings.

Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Service overview
The service covers suitable mechanical fittings for non-powered products. Motor wiring and electrical alterations are excluded. Altering the building to create support or modifying an unsuitable curtain system should not be assumed to form part of a standard rod installation.
A painted wall surface does not reveal all of the construction behind it. Share any known wall details and nearby services. Installation depends on suitable support and safe fixing locations, not simply finding a plug that fits an existing hole.
The product type determines the bracket and fixing arrangement. Send the exact model and all supplied components. A rod kit and a curtain track are not interchangeable systems, and missing brackets should be resolved before their installation is scheduled.
The agreed service covers non-powered rods/tracks, compatible brackets, positioning and operation checks. Exclusions: Electrical motors/wiring, unsuitable substrates, unassessed cord hazards, unsupported high access.
Balaclava property context
For Balaclava enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested curtain rod installation. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Balaclava quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Planning the work
Operate the curtains without pulling against the brackets. Report movement and retain all supplied safety devices and instructions. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Send rod or track specifications, curtain weight information, the complete opening and the proposed mounting surface. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Common situations
Heavy curtains can place different demands on the supports from lightweight fabric. Include product weight information rather than only the window width. The rod span and manufacturer bracket spacing also matter when deciding whether the intended arrangement is suitable.
Long rods or tracks may require a specific support layout. Provide the manufacturer instructions and desired width. Omitting an intermediate bracket to improve the appearance is not appropriate when the product relies on it for support under normal use.
Show the full opening and explain the intended mounting position. Handles, opening windows and the depth of the recess can interfere with the curtain or fittings. The final layout should be checked against the product before any drilling is agreed.
