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 South Auckland

Drawn from 587 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, with blockout or dual rollers sitting closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window fall between $200 and $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat headings, and thermal linings pushing that higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, commonly $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more. Whole-house jobs attract volume discounts, so quoting the full property at once tends to produce a better per-window price than ordering room by room.

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

Made-to-measure products are still covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, meaning goods must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample shown. You cannot return a correctly made custom item because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour, and control side in writing before paying a deposit, and ask the supplier upfront what they will do if a 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, to be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting the Australian, Canadian, EU, and US safety standards, with a one-year transition period after the regulations are made, applying to newly supplied products only, so it is not yet in force. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, and MBIE Product Safety guidance is to fit cord cleats or tensioners on existing blinds, keep furniture away from windows, and choose cordless, wand, or motorised blinds where young children are present.

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

Blockout roller blinds work well in bedrooms for light control, but lined curtains hung close to the wall and fitted with a pelmet reduce heat loss more effectively, making them the better insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand home. Sunscreen rollers suit living areas where you want glare control without losing the view, and reviewers who made that switch noted they kept effective light filtering while retaining a blackout option by pairing rollers with a second blockout layer. Shutters are the durable premium choice, with several reviewers noting improved temperature comfort in north-facing rooms and no issues after years of use, though their edge-fit matters for both light and privacy, so ask your installer about any gaps before committing.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –A request for cash payment only, with no written agreement or receipt, is a strong signal to walk away before handing over any money.
  • –Installers who damage window surfaces, rush through a job, or make inappropriate comments on site point to a business with poor contractor oversight.
  • –Blinds arriving the wrong size or fabric and then being disputed rather than remade at no cost show the company does not stand behind its measurements.
  • –Installation spread across multiple visits weeks apart, without clear communication about why, suggests poor production and scheduling management.
  • –A sales consultant who dismisses your preferences, talks over you, or refuses a job because your requirements are non-standard is unlikely to deliver what you actually want.
  • –Fabric quality that deteriorates within months of installation, followed by slow or unresolved warranty responses, indicates the product and after-sales support are both below standard.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Ask whether the quoted price covers measuring, manufacturing, and installation, or whether any of those are charged separately.
  • –Confirm the lead time in writing and ask what happens if production or delivery runs late, including whether a temporary solution will be provided.
  • –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and get that policy confirmed before paying a deposit.
  • –Find out what the warranty covers separately for the operating mechanism and for the fabric, as these often differ.
  • –Request full-size fabric samples to view in your own light before committing, since colours on a catalogue photo or small swatch can look very different once installed at scale.
  • –Ask whether blinds can be supplied cordless, wand-operated, or motorised, particularly if children or pets are present in the home.
