What do you need done?

What to have ready before you post

Four measurements and one photograph, which together decide whether this is a repair or a replacement.

The mechanism fails long before the blind does

Blinds are mostly fabric or slats attached to a mechanism, and it is the mechanism that gives up. On a roller, the cord slips off its spool or the clutch stops holding, so the blind either free-falls or refuses to stay where it is put. On a venetian, the tilt rod disconnects from the wand. On a vertical, the carriers come off the track one at a time. None of this needs a new blind, and all of it is an hour or less once the unit is down. The mistake worth avoiding is buying a replacement before anyone has looked, because the fabric or slats are usually fine and a matching new unit is rarely a match.

Questions

Blind and roller shutter repair questions

The ones this page owns — the rest live on the handyman page.

Is it worth repairing a blind or should I replace it?

Repair, if the fabric or slats are sound and the headrail is straight. Cords, clutches, carriers and brackets are all parts. Replace when the slats have gone brittle in the sun, the headrail has bent, or the unit is old enough that parts are no longer made.

Can you repair blinds in a condo?

Yes, and the thing to check first is what the window reveal is made of. A concrete reveal needs a masonry anchor and a hammer drill, so mention it when you post. Some corporations also restrict what may be visible from outside, which affects a replacement rather than a repair.

My roller shutter has stopped halfway. What is that?

Usually the guide rail rather than the motor. A rail knocked out of true binds at the same point every time, and the motor stalls to protect itself. A photograph of where it stops, and whether it jams going up, down or both, narrows it before anyone arrives.

Can several blinds be done in one visit?

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy this — setup and travel dominate, so a whole floor in one booking costs far less than one blind at a time. Post the total count and whether the fault is the same on each.
