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 Dunedin

Drawn from 261 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 installed, while blockout or dual roller options sit closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtains for a single window generally cost $200 to $600 installed, with premium fabrics and pinch pleat heading pushing that higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive choice, ranging from $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more. Ordering for the whole house at once often brings a better per-window price, and reviewers noted that honest advisors flagged repair and cost-saving options rather than pushing full replacements.

What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers made-to-measure goods, meaning the product must be of acceptable quality and match what you described, 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, control side, and dimensions, and ask explicitly what the business will do if the blind arrives the wrong size. On cord safety, a mandatory product safety standard for corded window coverings was announced on 30 June 2026 by the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Cameron Brewer, to be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting the Australian, Canadian, EU and US standards, with a one-year transition once regulations are finalised, but it 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 recommends cordless, wand or motorised blinds, and cord cleats or tensioners on any existing corded blinds.

How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more

Blockout roller blinds work well in bedrooms, but lined curtains fitted close to the wall and topped with a pelmet reduce heat loss more effectively, making them the better thermal upgrade in an older New Zealand home. Sunscreen rollers suit living areas where you want glare control without losing the view, and reviewers noted that a good consultant will steer you toward the right opacity rather than the most expensive option. Shutters are the most durable long-term choice, but at $800 to $1,500 per window they require a clear budget commitment, and reviewers who were advised honestly about fit and edge gaps found they avoided condensation and light-leak problems after installation.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –Poor or no communication after the deposit is paid, with messages going unanswered for weeks, is a pattern seen in low-rated experiences.
  • –Blinds or measurements delivered incorrectly and then disputed rather than remade at no charge signal a business that will not stand behind its work.
  • –A company that cannot give a clear lead time in writing, or that lets the quoted timeframe slip without contact, is a risk on any custom order.
  • –Sales pressure during the in-home consultation, especially pushing an on-the-spot decision before you have seen fabric samples in your own light, is a sign the process is not working in your favour.
  • –Warranty claims ignored after full payment has been made, with no follow-up from management, have caused repeat frustration in reviews.
  • –No-shows or last-minute cancellations for measuring or installation appointments, without proactive rescheduling, indicate poor job management.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Ask whether the quoted price includes measure, supply and installation or whether any of those are charged separately.
  • –Confirm the lead time in writing and ask what happens, including any compensation or priority scheduling, if that deadline slips.
  • –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and who pays for it.
  • –Find out what the warranty covers separately for the operating mechanism and for the fabric, as these often differ.
  • –Ask whether the blinds are cordless or fitted with a child-safe control, particularly if children live in or visit the home.
  • –Request a full-size fabric sample to view in your own room light before committing, and confirm the deposit amount and when the balance falls due.
