Curtain, Blinds & Furniture Assembly Charges in Delhi NCR (2026)

Fitting and assembly rates — Delhi NCR, 2026

These are labour. Rods, brackets, blinds and the furniture itself are bought by you.

Indicative Delhi NCR market ranges, 2026. Each professional sets their own charge and quotes you free before starting. Parts are normally billed on top of labour.

Per job or by the hour — do the sum

Once your list passes three or four items, hourly usually wins.

• One or two items: per-job pricing is simpler and you know the number in advance.
• Four windows plus two flat-pack items: that is most of a working session. Ask for an hourly or half-day rate and compare it against the per-item total — the difference is often substantial.
• Ask for both quotes. Any carpenter will give you each, and it takes one message.
• Hourly means the clock runs on your delays too. Have everything unpacked, the walls clear and the furniture in the right rooms before they arrive.

Our day-rate guide covers where the crossover sits, and the carpenter charges guide has the full rate card.

Curtain rods and blinds — what changes the price

• What the wall is made of. Concrete or RCC lintel needs a hammer drill and the right plug; drywall or a false ceiling edge needs different fixings entirely and is where badly fitted rods pull out six months later. Say what you have if you know.
• Width. Anything over about six feet wants a centre bracket, or the rod sags under lined curtains. Two brackets on a wide window is a false economy.
• Ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted. Ceiling tracks take longer and need more care about what is above the plaster.
• Blinds are less forgiving than rods. Roller and Venetian blinds must be level and square or they bind, so measure the recess precisely — and measure at top, middle and bottom, because Delhi window openings are frequently not square.
• Buy the rods and brackets yourself. You choose the finish and the load rating. Heavy lined curtains need a rod that will carry them; a thin decorative one will bow.
• Know where the wiring runs. Drilling above a window can find a concealed cable. If the flat has been rewired, this is exactly why our rewiring guide suggests photographing every open wall.

Flat-pack assembly — the things that go wrong

• Check the box contents before booking. Missing fittings are common and they end the job on the spot. Open the packs and count the hardware against the list.
• Assemble in the room it will live in. A built wardrobe frequently will not fit through a Delhi doorway. This is the single most common assembly disaster and it is entirely avoidable.
• Anything tall must be anchored to the wall. Wardrobes and tall bookcases come with an anti-tip bracket and it is there for a reason, particularly with children in the house. Insist it is fitted, even if it means one more hole.
• Price by item complexity. A side table and a four-door wardrobe are not the same job, and a good quote reflects that. Send photos or the product links when asking.
• Keep the instructions and spare fittings in a bag taped inside the unit. Whoever dismantles it when you move will thank you.
• Uneven floors matter. Older Delhi flats rarely have level floors, and a wardrobe on an uneven floor gets doors that will not align. Ask for it to be shimmed rather than forced.
