Curtain Rod Installation
non-powered curtain rods or tracks with suitable supplied brackets
Service overview
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.
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 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.
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.
Preston property context
For Preston 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. A useful Preston enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Planning the work
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.
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.
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.
Position and mechanically fit suitable non-powered rods or tracks, following product instructions and applicable cord-safety requirements. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Common situations
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.
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.
Furniture, pelmets and high or awkward positions can limit safe access. Show the room around the window and mention any staircase or obstruction below it. Unsupported high-access work is outside this service and must be identified before booking.
