Curtain poles taken down at your old property, all brackets removed, every screw hole filled. Walls left tidy whether you're taking the poles with you or leaving them for buyers.
### One Less Moving Day Task
You're moving out and the **curtain poles need coming down** - either you're taking them with you or the buyers don't want them. Brackets screwed into walls, holes to fill, and you've got 50 other things on your checklist before completion.
Professional removal means it's done properly, walls are made good, and it's one less thing to worry about.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Do this a few days before completion, not on moving day itself. Gives filler time to dry and you time to touch up paint if the landlord or buyer is fussy.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Remove Poles Each pole lifts out of its brackets - easy enough, just needs doing carefully to avoid damaging the finials (decorative ends) or bending the pole. ### Step 2: Remove Brackets Brackets get unscrewed from the wall. Sometimes the screws are painted over and tight - need the right tools to get them out without damaging plaster. ### Step 3: Fill & Tidy Every screw hole gets filled flush with filler. It'll need painting if you're decorating, but at least it's not an obvious hole. Clean, ready for handover.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full move-out service?** I can combine curtain pole removal with blind removal, picture hook filling, shelving takedown - all the make-good jobs that help with your house sale or rental deposit. **Rental deposit?** Getting all the holes filled properly makes a real difference to deposit returns. Landlords and letting agents absolutely notice unfilled holes. **Taking poles with you?** I'll label them by window so you know which is which at your new place. Much easier than guessing which 3-meter pole goes where when you've got five of them piled in the garage. **Damaged plaster?** If previous fittings or DIY jobs have damaged the plaster around bracket positions, I'll make it as good as I can with filler. Sometimes old houses have layers of holes from previous curtain poles - I'll sort all of them. **Old Exeter properties?** Those solid walls and old plaster need different treatment than modern houses. I'm used to working with crumbly lime plaster and thick walls - know how to remove fixings without making a bigger mess.
Frequently Asked Questions about Curtain pole removal for moving in Tiverton
Can you remove curtain poles without damaging them?
Yes - I take them down carefully so you can reuse them at your new place if you want. Most poles just unclip from brackets, the brackets unscrew from the wall. As long as they're decent quality, they'll be fine for refitting.
Do you fill all the screw holes?
Absolutely - that's part of the service. Every bracket hole gets filled flush with filler so walls are ready for painting or handover. Makes the place look properly finished rather than abandoned.
What about poles I'm leaving for the buyers?
If you're leaving them, I leave them up. But most people take curtain poles because they're expensive and the new house needs window covering anyway. Your choice entirely.
Can you do this on moving day?
Yes, but better a day or two before if possible. Gives the filler time to dry if you're touching up paint, and one less thing on moving day itself. But I can work around your schedule if needed.
How many poles can you remove in an hour?
Average 3-bed house with 5-6 poles - all removed, brackets off, holes filled - usually takes about an hour. More poles or very long ones might take a bit longer, but it's still quicker than doing it yourself between everything else.
