### Make Your Old Blinds Work In Your New Home
You took the **blinds down carefully at your old place**, thinking you'd save money by reusing them. Now they're in a pile and you're not sure if they'll even fit your new windows or how to mount them properly.
If the windows are similar sizes, your old blinds should work fine - just need hanging properly. Save yourself some money and get them refitted right.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Measure your new window widths before moving. If they're close to your old ones (within 10cm or so), your blinds will work. If not, you'll need new ones anyway.

### What Makes Blind Fitting Tricky
Blinds look simple but there's technique to it:
| ✅ Fitted Properly | ❌ Poor Fitting | |--------------------|-----------------| | Brackets level, blind hangs straight | Wonky blind, drives you mad | | Positioned to clear window handles | Catches on handle every time | | Smooth operation, no rubbing | Jams or scrapes on frame | | Secure fixings for window type | Falls down after a week |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assess Your Blinds I check each blind for damage and measure against your new windows. If something won't work, I'll tell you honestly so you can order a replacement. ### Step 2: Mount Brackets Each bracket gets positioned level, clear of window furniture, and fixed securely to the right surface (frame, wall, or reveal). ### Step 3: Hang & Test Blinds go onto brackets, I test they operate smoothly, make any adjustments needed, and make sure they're hanging level.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full window dressing service?** I can combine blind fitting with curtain pole installation, voile hanging, and any other window treatments you need sorted. Get it all done in one visit. **Don't fit?** If your new windows are bigger and the blinds won't cover them properly, I'll tell you before I start drilling holes. Save the blinds for smaller windows elsewhere or rooms you sort out later. **UPVC frames?** These need care - wrong technique cracks them. I've got the right screws and know where to drill so you don't damage your new frames. **Mix of old and new blinds?** No problem - I can fit your reused ones alongside any new blinds you've bought for windows that need them. **Old Exeter properties?** Some window reveals are deep or wonky - I'm used to adapting fitting methods for older properties where nothing's quite square.
Frequently Asked Questions about Blind refit new home in Sidmouth
Will my old blinds fit my new windows?
Depends on the window sizes. If your new windows are similar size or smaller, usually fine. If they're bigger, the blinds won't cover fully. Measure your new windows and I can advise before I come out.
Can you fit any type of blind?
Roller blinds, Venetian blinds, vertical blinds, Roman blinds - yes to all. They all hang slightly differently but I've fitted hundreds of each type in Sidmouth homes.
Do the old brackets work in the new house?
Sometimes. But often your new windows have different frames or the old brackets are battered from removal. I bring new brackets just in case - better to have them than need another visit.
How many blinds can you fit in one visit?
Average house with 5-6 blinds takes 1.5 to 2 hours. More than that and it runs over, but it's still quicker and cheaper than multiple visits. I'll give you a time estimate based on your number.
What if some blinds are damaged from the move?
I'll check them before fitting - if the mechanism's broken or slats are bent beyond use, I'll let you know. Often they just need a bit of adjustment and they're fine, but I won't fit something that won't work properly.
