Curtains and tracks: costs and options
Decide whether you want a single lined curtain, a sheer and blockout pair, or a simple track replacement. Stack-back space matters if the curtains would cover glass or a sliding door when open.
What to include in the scope
Ask for the track length, finished drop, lining and fullness in the quote. Tall windows, ceiling-mounted tracks and unusual bends can change fitting time. Price removal and wall or ceiling patching separately.

Build your budget
Adjust the quantities and unit rates. This is a planning tool, not an installer quote.
Use local itemised quotes as the starting rates. Freight, labour availability and minimum call-out charges can change the total by location. Enter GST-inclusive rates where available and list removal, disposal and access separately when excluded.
Ask before you accept a quote.
- What is the finished drop and stack-back, where will the brackets fix, and who will rectify sizing errors?
- Is GST included, and is the price fixed or estimated?
- Are removal, disposal, access and making-good included?
- What changes would trigger extra costs, and who approves them?
- What is the warranty on products and workmanship?
