Window coverings · Clayton South
For curtain rod installation at your Clayton South property, start with the product and the practical requirements. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. Fix Nik reviews suitable work involving non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets and confirms the scope before scheduling.
Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Common situations
Identify cords, chains and all supplied safety components at the enquiry stage. Product instructions and applicable safety requirements must be followed. An incomplete or unsafe operating system should not be installed as if it were an ordinary uncorded rod.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Clayton South property context
An occupied Clayton South property may need preparation before curtain rod installation can begin.

Note any notice requirements and identify urgent functional items separately from presentation or end-of-lease touch-ups.

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.
