Get Those Curtains Back Up Properly
Taken curtains down for decorating? Had them cleaned? Or have they just come off the track again? Whatever the reason, getting curtains back up can be surprisingly fiddly - especially the heavy lined ones with all those little hooks.
💡 Pro tip: If your curtains keep falling off the track, it's usually the hooks or the track gliders that need replacing, not the whole curtain.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to do it yourself? Here's how to get good results:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Step ladder (proper one, not a chair)
- Curtain hooks (have spares handy)
- Patience (more than you think)
Getting hooks in
- Count the gliders on your track first
- Space hooks evenly across the curtain header
- For pinch pleat curtains, hooks go in the pockets at the back
- For pencil pleat, use the special curtain hook tape
Hanging them level
- Start from one end and work across
- Keep hooks evenly spaced on the track
- Stand back regularly to check they're hanging level
- Adjust before you finish - easier than starting again
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using a wobbly chair instead of a proper ladder (dangerous!)
- Not checking the track is secure first
- Random spacing of hooks (causes uneven pleats)
- Forcing stuck tracks (fix the track first)
💡 Pro trick: If curtains are hard to slide, spray silicone lubricant on the track runners. Makes a huge difference.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple rooms? I can do them all in one visit - much more efficient than booking separate trips.
Track problems? If the track's damaged or broken, I can usually repair or replace it the same day. I'll give you a price for that separately.
Old house with wobbly walls? Common in Exeter. Sometimes the track fixings have worked loose - I can re-secure them while I'm there.
Missing hooks? I carry standard hooks with me. For fancy curtains with special fittings, you might need to get the right ones from your curtain supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does curtain rehanging involve?
I'll put your curtains back up on the existing track or pole, making sure all the hooks are properly fitted and the curtains hang straight. If any hooks are missing or broken, I can replace those too.
Can you fix curtains that won't close properly?
Yes - often it's just hooks in the wrong places or the track needing adjustment. I'll get them closing smoothly and sitting level when they're open.
Do I need to provide the curtain hooks?
I carry standard curtain hooks with me. If yours need replacing or you need different ones, I can usually sort that on the spot or advise what to get.
How long does rehanging curtains take?
Usually 30-45 minutes depending on how many windows and how fiddly the hooks are. Heavy lined curtains with pinch pleats take a bit longer than simple tab tops.
What if the curtain track is broken?
I'll let you know when I see it. Small repairs I can usually do while I'm there. If it needs replacing completely, I'll give you a price for that.
