Curtain Poles & Blinds Fitting in Prestwick, Ayrshire

In Prestwick bungalows with timber-framed internal walls, this almost always happens because the bracket is fixed into plasterboard alone with a standard wall plug. Plasterboard can’t carry the combined weight of a pole, rings and full curtains — it will pull through over time. The fix is to locate the timber studs behind the board and fix the bracket into solid wood. Where there’s no stud at the bracket position, the right cavity anchor (sized for the wall build-up and the weight it needs to carry) is the correct solution. John checks the wall before drilling every bracket.

Yes. Bay window curtain tracks are one of the most common fitting jobs in Prestwick — many of the bungalows in the KA9 area have a bay at the front. The track needs to follow the angle of the bay, either using a pre-bent aluminium track or a flexible system that’s bent to the exact angle on site. John takes the bay measurements, sources the appropriate track, and fits it with brackets into the window reveals or the wall above the bay depending on the room’s construction. The end result pulls smoothly and hangs evenly.

Most customers buy their own poles and blinds so they choose the style and colour themselves, then John fits them. He’s happy to work with any manufacturer’s product — IKEA tracks, John Lewis poles, Hillarys blinds, and everything else. If you’d prefer John to supply, he can do that too — just let him know what you have in mind at the quote stage and he’ll price accordingly. For complex systems like bay window tracks that need specific measurement, he’d normally take the measurements first before ordering.
