Quick answer
Curtain track installation cost depends on track length, number of windows, track type, fixing surface, curtain weight, access height and whether the track needs bending, joining or supplying. Photos and measurements usually allow a more accurate quotation.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Is track supply included in installation?
It depends on the quotation. Some customers provide their own tracks, while others need a supply-and-fit service.
Do bay-window tracks cost more to fit?
They often do because measuring, bending, joining and supporting the track can take more time than a simple straight installation.
Can I get a quote from photos?
In many cases, clear photos and approximate measurements provide enough information for an initial quotation.
