Secure Fitting for Heavy Drapes, Roller Blinds & Bay Windows

Fitting curtain poles or blinds in Edinburgh homes can quickly turn into a headache. Between drilling into hidden original timber lintels, solid stone behind plaster, or hollow plasterboard, getting brackets level and sturdy enough to support heavy velvet curtains takes the right tools and fixings.

At So Handyman Edinburgh, Frank takes the stress out of window dressing. We measure precisely, use laser levels, and install heavy-duty fixings so your poles, tracks, and blinds sit perfectly straight and stay securely anchored.

Made for High Ceilings & Edinburgh Lintels

Whether you live in a classic Victorian tenement with soaring 10-foot ceilings or a modern flat, window surroundings present unique challenges.

Standard plastic plugs usually fail under the weight of long, heavy curtains. We carry deep masonry drill bits, heavy-duty hollow-wall anchors, and specialised fixings to ensure your window fittings never pull away from the wall—no matter how often you open and close your drapes.
