Window treatment fitting
Terms and conditions
Accessibility
Please ensure that all furniture and obstacles are cleared from the floor in front of the windows that are to be fitted with new curtain poles/curtains/blinds. It is not the responsibility of the fitter to move furniture, televisions or other obstacles.
To save time, all curtains that are to be replaced must be taken down prior to the fitter arriving and the walls dusted / vacuumed of cobwebs and fluff. If it is not possible for the curtains to be taken down, there may be a small additional charge incurred – this is at the discretion of the fitter. The fitter will remove old curtain poles, pelmet boards and tracks.
Timeframe
Please allow sufficient time for fitting. The process is a precise, time consuming operation and will generally take longer than anticipated. Our fitters reserve the right to increase the estimated fitting cost if the job takes considerably longer than planned due to poor accessibility, bad walls or removal of existing fittings.
Condition of walls
The condition of the walls can only be determined once the fitter is on site. Our initial estimates for fitting costs are based on walls that are in a good condition and substantial enough to take the weight of curtains. However if walls are too hard, weak, crumbly or have no secure fixings, then remedial work might be required. This remedial work is not the responsibility of the fitter, and any costs will be borne by the customer not Think Blinds & Shutters Ltd or our fitters. However our fitters will try and assist and seek alternative solutions where possible.
Cables and pipes
The fitters do have cable/pipe locating equipment. The accuracy of these testers can be impaired by metal lintels and conduit within the walls. The fitter will be as cautious and careful as possible, but can not be held responsible if a cable or pipe that is close to a window/recess, is damaged.
All fitting charges must be paid directly to the fitter on the day of fitting.
