Installer and Fitter – Bespoke Window Coverings

Pre-Booked Surveys and Installations – £30k–£45k OTE

54% of UK households plan to improve their spaces this year, while 1 in 5 choose upgrading over the mounting costs of moving.

With stamp duty, legal fees, and removals pricing one in five potential movers out of the market, homeowners are putting that moving budget straight back into their current properties. Made-to-measure window coverings are one of the most immediate, dramatic ways to upgrade a home, creating steady, year-round work for skilled fitters.

The company

Our client is an established national market leader in bespoke window treatments, known for high product standards and five-star customer feedback. Backed by an £11 million central marketing budget, they handle all the customer acquisition and fill your calendar directly, so you never have to quote cold, chase invoices, or hunt for work.

What you take home

• £30,000–£45,000 Realistic OTE: Achievable baseline income on a self-employed, commission-only basis, directly matching your completed surveys and fitting volume.
• Uncapped Upside: No ceilings or seasonal limits – every extra survey and installation you complete adds directly to your weekly pay.
• Consistent Weekly Work: A diary populated entirely by head office, meaning no unpaid quoting time, dead days, or chasing invoices.

Out on the road

• Scheduled Local Visits: Check your booked appointments each morning on your tablet and head out to local jobs.
• Post-Sale Window Surveys: Visit homes to take technical measurements, inspect window frames, and confirm structural fittings before orders go to manufacturing.
• Clean Precision Fitting: Hang and fit bespoke blinds, shutters, or curtains to a clean, professional trade standard.
• Customer Handover: Show the homeowner how everything operates, ensure safety mechanisms are set, and leave them happy with the finished work.

Kit and equipment

• Complete Starter Pack: Professional surveying tools, measuring gear, and initial trade kit supplied from day one.
• Android Tablet: Handheld tablet loaded with easy pricing tools and quick product guides.
• Corporate Van Scheme: Option to join an internal corporate van leasing programme once you pass six months.

The honest reality

• Self-employed, Commission Only: There is no basic wage – what you make is directly tied to the surveys and fits you complete.
• Your Own Van and Licence: You need a full UK driving licence and your own transit-size van to transport stock and tools between jobs.
• Working for Yourself: You organise your own hand tools, plan your daily driving route, and handle your self-employed taxes.

Who fits this

• Hands-on trade experience in window fitting, joinery, carpentry, glazing, or competent trade DIY.
• An eye for detail, accurate measuring skills, and pride in a clean finish.
• Easy, professional manner when speaking with customers in their living rooms.
• Self-reliance to keep appointments on time and manage your own day.

This will not suit you if: You need a fixed weekly wage, prefer standard 9-to-5 employment, or do not have a transit-size van.
