What is included
Curtains steamed on their tracks and blinds cleaned slat by slat, without the cost and risk of taking them down. Curtains filter the dust that comes through every window and balcony door. We clean them where they hang, so there is no shrinkage, no rehanging and no bare windows.
- Hook type matched: pin, plastic tape hook or metal S hook
- Gliders matched to the track profile, not forced to fit
- Hook spacing set evenly, about every 10 to 12 centimetres
- End stops and overlap arm carriers checked on rehanging
How we carry out curtain hook and glider replacement
Gliders are not universal. Each track profile takes its own shape of runner, so a sample is taken out through the end of the track and matched before the repair visit or from the van stock. The end stop is released, broken gliders are slid out and new ones fed in, with enough for one at each hook plus spares. On the curtain, bent or rusted hooks are swapped for the correct type for the tape pocket and set at an even height so the heading covers the track. The drop is rehung, drawn and dressed.
Plastic goes brittle fast behind hot glass. In a west facing room the gliders nearest the window end of the track can crumble within a few years, and they tend to fail together, so replacing two or three usually means returning for the others. Steel hooks rust in humid rooms and leave brown marks on the heading that do not wash out. Curtains left hanging on half their hooks tear the tape pockets. The site visit counts hooks and gliders on every track and checks the tape itself for torn pockets and rotted stitching.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for curtain hook and glider replacement follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- Size of the property and number of rooms
- Condition, and how long since the last deep clean
- Furnished and occupied, or empty
- Extras such as sofas, carpets, mattresses, external glass or outdoor areas

Questions about curtain hook and glider replacement
What does curtain hook and glider replacement include?
Missing hooks and cracked gliders make a curtain droop and gape at the top. The handyman team matches the parts to the heading tape and track, replaces them and rehangs the drop. The work includes hook type matched: pin, plastic tape hook or metal S hook; gliders matched to the track profile, not forced to fit; hook spacing set evenly, about every 10 to 12 centimetres.
Can I replace curtain gliders myself?
If you can find the exact glider for your track, yes: remove the end stop, slide the old ones out and feed new ones in. The difficulty is the match, as a near fit will jam or drop out, and ceiling recessed tracks are awkward to reach.
Why do my curtain hooks keep falling out?
Either the hooks are the wrong type for the tape, or the pockets in the heading tape have stretched or torn. Worn tape can be restitched or replaced by a curtain workroom, and new hooks alone will not hold in it for long.
How much does curtain hook and glider replacement cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides curtain hook and glider replacement in Dubai?
The MELLS provides curtain hook and glider replacement in Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does curtain hook and glider replacement take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for most homes. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in Dubai, and more often near the coast or next to construction.
Do you take the curtains down?
No. They are cleaned in place, which avoids shrinkage and rehanging. Heavily soiled or lined curtains can be taken for an off site wash if needed.
Is steam safe for blackout and silk curtains?
Blackout linings are cleaned at low temperature. Silk and velvet are cleaned with low moisture methods after a test.
How do I choose a company for curtain hook and glider replacement in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
