Window coverings · The Patch
For curtain rod installation at your The Patch 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
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.
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Patch property context
The Patch sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For curtain rod installation, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Span, curtain load, bracket arrangement and wall support must be considered together before fixing positions are agreed. For a The Patch 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
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
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.
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.
FAQ
Position and mechanically fit suitable non-powered rods or tracks, following product instructions and applicable cord-safety requirements.

Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover.

The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
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.
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.
