General wear and tear and common usage issues are usually repairable. Among the most frequent we see:

• Correcting skew issues during raising or lowering
• Ensuring venetian blinds maintain upright position
• Replacing missing parts like valance clips and bottom bar buttons
• Repairing damaged valances and broken slats
• Fixing or replacing broken toggles and tassels
• Customising width, including tile cut-outs
• Restringing worn strings and installing new ladder string
• Roller blind issues with staying open or operating correctly
• Repairing or replacing broken chains and bottom bars
• Replacing missing parts like chains and end caps
• Resolving sliding and tilting issues with vertical blinds
• Replacing broken or missing bottom chains and weights
• Tilting, upright position and lowering issues on honeycomb blinds
• Repairing or replacing broken cords and mechanisms
• Bottom bar damage
• Re-stringing and operational repairs on roman blinds
• Replacing broken dowels, bottom bars and damaged velcro
• Repairing or replacing damaged chains and snapped strings
• Missing O-Rings and other components

Sometimes the damage is what insurers call “beyond economic repair” — fixing it would cost more than replacing it. In those cases we quote you for both options side by side so you can see the numbers and decide.

We’d rather lose the job than sell you a repair that doesn’t add up. Repairs are usually the cheaper route, but if a new blind makes more sense, we’ll tell you straight.

If repair costs change during the job — for example, we open it up and find more wear than the photo showed — we’ll let you know before doing more work, unless you’ve told us to go ahead regardless.

Yes — and many of the blinds brought in for repair benefit from a clean at the same time. We propose a thorough cleaning service alongside repairs so blinds not only function like new but also look rejuvenated. Our team handles each blind with care and professionalism, especially older, more fragile materials like vertical blinds.

Cleaning blinds is a specialised task — we use the right techniques and cleaners to prevent damage, and we’ll advise honestly on feasibility before starting.

We mostly come to you. Small repairs are done on site at your home. For bigger jobs — or if you want the blind cleaned too — we take it back to our Sydenham workshop, repair it there, and bring it back fitted. You’re welcome to drop blinds off at our office if it’s easier for you.

It varies by complexity and parts availability. We’ll give you a realistic timeline together with your quote, so you know what to expect before you commit.

We’re a family-run blinds & shutters specialist with extensive stock of parts and brackets from all major manufacturers, and the expertise to modify components for both older and contemporary blinds. We offer special discounts for existing customers — and if you’re a new customer buying blinds for the first time, you can also take advantage of specials on repairs and cleaning of your existing blinds.
