Before you hire
Most blinds and curtain businesses in New Zealand measure, make and install, so the quote you compare is for the whole job, not the fabric. Ask whether measuring and installation are included, what the lead time is from order to fitting, and what happens if a made-to-measure blind arrives the wrong size, because custom goods are hard to return. If you have young children, ask for cordless or wand-operated blinds: a mandatory safety standard for corded window coverings was announced in June 2026 and will apply to new products after a one-year transition.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Christchurch
Drawn from 187 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What do made-to-measure blinds and curtains typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Basic made-to-measure roller blinds run roughly $80 to $200 per window for supply and install, with blockout or dual rollers sitting closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window generally cost $200 to $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat headings, or longer drops pushing that higher.
Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, ranging from $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber shutters costing more, as one reviewer confirmed after choosing timber shutters and noting the spend. Ordering the full house at once often produces a better per-window price than going room by room, and motorisation, fabric grade, and whether measuring and installation are included or charged separately all move the final figure.
What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more
The Consumer Guarantees Act applies to made-to-measure goods, meaning the product must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample shown, but you cannot return a correctly made item because you changed your mind. Confirm every detail in writing before paying a deposit, including fabric, colour, drop, control side, and who is responsible for measurements, and ask specifically what the business does if a blind arrives the wrong size.
On cord safety, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs announced on 30 June 2026 that a mandatory product safety standard for corded window coverings will be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting any of the Australian, Canadian, EU, or US standards, with a one-year transition period once regulations are made, applying to newly supplied products only, so as of September 2026 this standard is not yet in force. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so where young children live, MBIE Product Safety guidance is to choose cordless, wand, or motorised blinds, fit cord cleats or tensioners to existing blinds, and keep cots and furniture away from windows.
How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more
Blockout roller blinds suit bedrooms well and reviewers who specified them noted strong light control, but lined or interlined curtains hung close to the wall and topped with a pelmet cut heat loss further, making them the better thermal upgrade in an older NZ home. Sunscreen rollers work well in living areas where you want glare reduced without losing the view, and reviewers consistently noted satisfaction when a consultant steered them toward the right opacity for their aspect. Shutters are the durable premium choice, lasting decades with minimal maintenance, but the higher per-window cost means the payback sits more in longevity and appearance than in short-term energy savings.
What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
- –A quoted lead time of three weeks that quietly becomes eight weeks, with no proactive communication and only updates when you chase them.
- –Blinds or curtains arriving the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, with the business disputing the error rather than offering a prompt no-cost remake.
- –Installation that is rushed, leaving blinds sitting unevenly, screws in wrong surfaces, or mechanisms that stick within weeks of fitting.
- –A cleaner or installer arriving with a bad attitude, lecturing the customer, and leaving work incomplete or damaged, such as bent louvres or missing end caps.
- –A change of ownership that results in a sharp drop in quality, where cleaning standards fall and the new team disputes payment rather than fixing the problem.
- –Asking for a large upfront deposit while providing no written confirmation of lead time, remake policy, or what happens if the product does not arrive as ordered.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
- –Ask whether the quote covers supply, measuring, and installation as a single price, or whether any of those are charged separately.
- –Ask for the current lead time in writing and confirm what happens if that date slips, including whether you will be contacted proactively or left to follow up.
- –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong colour, and whether that remake is at no cost to you regardless of who measured.
- –Ask what the warranty covers on the mechanism separately from the fabric, as these often have different terms and fabric fading or fraying is sometimes excluded.
- –Ask whether the blinds are cordless, wand-operated, or motorised, and if corded, confirm that cleats or tensioners are supplied and fitted, particularly if children are in the home.
- –Ask to take full-size fabric samples home before committing, so you can check colour and opacity in your own light at different times of day.

How are the top blinds & curtain installers in Christchurch chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for blinds & curtain installers in Christchurch. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out, and a business whose main Google category is a different trade is held back until a person has checked what it does. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.
What does a business subscription offer? expand_more
No business can pay for a place in these rankings. Claiming and verifying a listing is free. It adds a phone number to the card and a small trust bonus (+3 points) to its score, for confirming a real operator stands behind the listing. The owner also gets a dashboard showing how their score is made up. A paid subscription provides an enhanced card with more ways to reach the business, including a website link and a detailed profile page. It also refreshes this page monthly and adds ranking history and competitor analysis to the owner's dashboard. The subscription adds nothing to the score. Claim your listing or see what a subscription includes.
Why isn't my business listed? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for blinds & curtain installers in Christchurch. The usual reasons for missing out are a Google Business category that does not match, too few reviews to score near the top, or an address outside the area we cover. Sometimes we miss a business that should be here. Check where you rank first. If you are not there and think you should be, get in touch.
