Renovating? Don’t Overlook Your Curtains

When planning a renovation, most people focus on floors, walls, cabinetry, and lighting. Curtains are often an afterthought—or worse, left hanging while the work is carried out.

That’s where problems begin.

Why Curtains Should Be Handled First

Curtains are one of the most delicate and exposed elements in your home. During a renovation, they are at risk of:

• Dust and debris from sanding, plastering, and demolition

• Paint splashes and accidental staining

• Damage from trades working around them

• Permanent odours embedding into the fabric

By the time the renovation is complete, what was once a quality curtain can be heavily soiled, damaged, or no longer functioning as it should.

The Smarter Approach

Before any work begins, it’s worth having your curtains professionally removed and assessed.

At this stage, we often find issues that homeowners hadn’t noticed:

• Curtains not closing properly

• Worn or damaged heading tape

• Missing or broken hooks

• Tracks that no longer run smoothly

Addressing these early prevents bigger problems later.

Cleaning, Repairing, and Restoring

Once removed, curtains can be professionally cleaned and sanitised in a controlled environment. This ensures a far more thorough and safe result than any in-home solution.

At the same time, minor repairs can be carried out, including:

• Replacing heading tape

• Fixing or reinforcing seams

• Supplying new hooks

• Restoring the overall structure of the curtain

If required, tracks can also be upgraded or replaced to improve both function and appearance.

We Store Them Until You’re Ready

Renovations don’t always run on schedule—and the last thing you need is to worry about where your curtains are or when they need to be reinstalled.

We keep your curtains safely stored after cleaning and repairs, at no additional cost, until your home is ready.

When the renovation is complete, we return to rehang them, ensuring everything is finished properly and functioning as it should.

Reinstallation After Renovation

When your renovation is complete, your curtains are returned fresh, restored, and ready to be rehung.

This not only protects your investment but also ensures your newly renovated space is finished properly—with window furnishings that match the quality of the rest of your home.

A Small Step That Makes a Big Difference

Curtains frame your space. Leaving them untreated during a renovation can undo the impact of everything else you’ve improved.

Handling them properly from the start is a simple step—but one that makes a noticeable difference in the final result.

Final Thought

If you’re planning a renovation, don’t wait until the damage is done.

Have your curtains professionally removed, cleaned, repaired, stored, and rehung—so your finished space looks as good as it should.
