awesome advice ...this especially useful in a new-build house ...these walls are so thin as soon as you touch it with a drill it starts crumbling .....this has been helpful. thank you.
Thank you for all the detail and the explanations not just a 'how to' video but a 'why we do it this way' video. This makes a difference when choosing a youtube DIY video. Cheers. Kate.
If you wall is really crumbly, you could could repair and fill the holes - and redrill them - similar to this video - th-cam.com/video/908mAchfa1g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YZq-XDCQYxai_Owe or put a white wooden batten across the top of the window and screw your pole brackets to that
Any chance you can send products/brands and links? Recently bought some new curtain rods (no holes in the wall yet), however the drywall feels very thing and weak.
The brands of some of the bigger raw plugs were called ""Fischer" These are available at either screw fix or other large retail outlets, hope this helps
A new curtain pole has been put up, but the left hand side will not hold. Decrators say the lintel is crumbling when they drill into it. Also some parts of the Lintel you cannot drill in to very far at all. How do I get the new Curtain pole up, and to stay attached to the wall. 30/08/23
it depends how deep the decorators have drilled on the left side, that is crumbling. You could either try repairing the hole with some Wood Filler (it has 2 compounds) you need to mix these together and then fill the hole completely in. it is super strong after 45 mins you will be able to drill it, you will then need to redrill the hole with wooden drill bit for the rawl plug. Or if that does not work you could put a white wooden batten across the top of the inside of your window, screw this to the wall in several places and then screw the curtain pole brackets to it at the sides. The wooden batten does not look as nice so I would try using wood filler first to repair the hole and then re-drill it . Hope this helps
@@sandrabartlett2739 yes the wooden pole does not look as nice, get your decorators to try using strong wood filler to repair the hole and then redrill it as explained above, hopefully this this will work

@@Woodyattcurtains welcome :)
It's like you've been checking my pole out and knew I needed help keeping it up. Guilty of using incorrect rawl plug/screw combi.
lol , I hope you get your pole sorted :-)
Brilliant video, thank you, goes into every detail... Huge help... I am going to order my Jardiniere curtains from you too... Barbara xx

Great Video! Thanks for tips 😊
Thanks for a super helpful video!

Hi can I use this method when I’ve only got plaster board to go through? . Should I use a batten ? If so what fixings should I use. Thank you
Very helpful. Thanks.
Very helpful video, thank you.
Thank you :-)
Thanks my work is curtain fitting.
I allways go through with this kind wall.
Plaster wall. My mind not working that time.
Thans for suggestions
ok great, hope this works
My walls are concrete prefab, so trying to drill into them they either crumble, or the drill hits stones

@@Woodyattcurtains thank you. I have thought about a wooden baton, but I don't really want that.

Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful
very nice
Thank you
I tried that & it’s still coming down now what 🤷♀️
If this did not work, you could screw a wooden batten along the top of the wall and then screw the curtain pole onto that.
Cheers. The wall plugs they provide you with curtains are actually a joke
Yes I agree, they can be too small and much better to use your own ones which as much stronger
We need all those tools just to screw something in
yes sadly you do
