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 Wellington
Drawn from 206 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, including sunscreen and standard blockout options, run roughly $80 to $200 per window installed. Dual or premium blockout rollers sit closer to $150 to $350, while roman blinds and venetians fall in a similar mid-range band.
Lined curtain pairs start around $200 to $600 per window, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat headings, and longer drops pushing that figure higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, from $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more.
What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more
Made-to-measure goods are still covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act, 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 simply because you changed your mind. Confirm measurements, fabric, colour, and control side in writing before paying any deposit, and ask explicitly what the business 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 and aligned with Australian, Canadian, EU, and US standards, but it is not yet in force and a one-year transition period applies once regulations are made. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so follow Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Product Safety guidance: use cord cleats or tensioners on existing blinds, keep furniture away from windows, and choose cordless, wand, or motorised blinds in any home with young children.
How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more
Lined curtains hung close to the wall and fitted with a pelmet deliver the best heat retention for the cost, making them the most practical insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand home with draughty windows. Blockout roller blinds suit bedrooms where you need full darkness, but reviewers found edge gaps matter more than they expected after a year of use, so ask how the blind fits the reveal. Sunscreen rollers work well in living areas where glare control matters but you still want the view, while plantation shutters offer lasting durability and precise light adjustment, with several reviewers noting they held up and looked as good years later as on the day of installation.
What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
- –A large upfront deposit is taken and communication drops off immediately, with delays explained only after you chase the company multiple times.
- –Quoted lead times slip by weeks or months and the business offers no proactive updates, leaving you to make repeated calls to find out where your order is.
- –Blinds or curtains arrive the wrong size or in the wrong fabric and the company disputes the error rather than remaking the product without charge.
- –Installation is rushed, crooked, or leaves visible gaps, and follow-up requests to fix defects are met with excuses or repeated no-shows.
- –Warranty or post-installation issues are ignored once the final payment has been received.
- –Measuring or fitting appointments are missed with no advance notice, or staff record bookings incorrectly and fail to inform the customer.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
- –Ask whether the quoted price covers supply, measure, and installation, or whether any of those are charged separately.
- –Confirm the lead time in writing and ask what happens if that deadline slips, including whether you will be proactively updated.
- –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and who bears that cost.
- –Check what the warranty covers separately for the operating mechanism and the fabric, as these often have different terms.
- –Ask whether the blinds are cordless, wand-operated, or motorised, particularly if children are present, and what cord-safety measures are included if cords cannot be avoided.
- –Request full-size fabric samples to view in your own home light before committing, since showroom lighting can make colours read very differently on your walls.

How are the top blinds & curtain installers in Wellington chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for blinds & curtain installers in Wellington. 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 Wellington. 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.
