In-Home Check Measure &
Installation Service
Professional support when you want extra peace of mind
Handy Blinds is designed for confident DIY customers who want quality custom-made blinds without showroom markups. But we also understand that some customers prefer a little extra help before ordering or during installation.
That is why we offer an optional in-home check measure and installation service for eligible Handy Blinds customers within a 50km radius of Melbourne CBD.
Our core service team is based in Melbourne, Victoria, so this service is currently available only to customers in selected Melbourne metro areas.
Service availability
Currently available in Melbourne metro areas
Our in-home service is available for customers located within approximately 50km from Melbourne CBD.
If you are outside this service area, you can still order from Handy Blinds Australia-wide using our easy online measuring guides, installation instructions, and customer support.
Coming in the future
We are working towards expanding our service network by partnering with trusted third-party professional installers in other metropolitan areas across Australia.
Once available, this may allow Handy Blinds customers in other states to access professional check measure and installation support.
At this stage, interstate in-home services are not yet available.
