### Make Your Old Poles Work In Your New Home
You took the **curtain poles down carefully** at your old place, thinking you'd save money by reusing them. Now they're stacked in the garage and you're not sure if they'll fit your new windows or how to mount them properly.
If the windows are similar widths, your old poles should work fine - just need hanging professionally. 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 10-15cm), your poles will work. If not, you'll need new ones anyway.

### What Makes Pole Fitting Tricky
Poles look simple but there's technique to it:
| ✅ Fitted Properly | ❌ Poor Fitting | |--------------------|-----------------| | Brackets level, pole hangs straight | Wonky pole you notice every day | | Positioned to clear window handles | Catches on handle when drawing | | Smooth curtain movement | Curtains stick or won't close fully | | Secure fixings for wall type | Pulls out of wall after a week |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assess Your Poles I check each pole 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 (wall, reveal, or frame). ### Step 3: Hang & Test Poles go onto brackets, finials screwed on, curtains hung. I test they draw smoothly and make any adjustments needed.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full window dressing service?** I can combine pole refitting with blind 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 wider and the poles are too short, I'll tell you before I start drilling holes. You can then decide which windows to use them on or order new ones for the oversized windows. **Missing parts?** Brackets, finials, and screws often get separated during moves. I carry some common sizes, or can pick up replacements from local suppliers if needed. **Mix of old and new?** No problem - I can fit your reused poles alongside any new ones you've bought for windows that need them. Get everything done in one visit. **Old Exeter properties?** Those deep window reveals and thick walls are part of my daily routine. I know where brackets work best and have the right fixings for solid Devon stone walls.
Frequently Asked Questions about Curtain pole refit new home in Newton Abbot
Will my old poles fit my new windows?
Depends on the window sizes. If your new windows are similar width or smaller, usually fine. If they're wider, the poles won't reach. Measure your new windows and I can advise before I come out.
Can you fit any type of curtain pole?
Wooden poles, metal poles, tracked poles, eyelet poles - yes to all. They all mount slightly differently but I've fitted hundreds of each type in Newton Abbot homes.
Do the old brackets work in the new house?
Sometimes. But often your new windows have different reveals 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 poles can you fit in one visit?
Average house with 5-6 poles 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 parts got lost in the move?
Common problem - finials go missing, brackets get separated. Often I can get replacements locally, or we can improvise. I'll work out what's needed and advise on the best solution.
