Most of what fails on a blind is a component, not the blind — and components can be replaced.
Not every enquiry needs a new blind. A great deal of what goes wrong is a single failed part: a chain that has snapped or jumped its sprocket, a bracket that has worked loose, a tilt mechanism that has given up, a ladder tape that has perished in the sun, a motor that has stopped responding. All of that is repairable, usually for a fraction of a replacement.
We service blinds we did not supply. A consultant looks at what you have, tells you which parts are still available for that system, and gives you an honest answer — including the answer nobody likes, which is that a twenty-year-old blind in hard highveld sun is sometimes past saving. When that is the case we will say so rather than sell you a repair that will fail again next summer.
Common jobs in this suburb: restringing timber venetians after a repaint, re-fitting blinds that came down for painting or a move, replacing perished cords and tapes on north-facing windows, swapping a failed motor, and re-tensioning child-safety devices that have been pulled loose.

What a repair costs in Sandhurst
Repairs are not priced by the square metre, because the work is a diagnosis rather than a product. A re-cord, a new chain, a replacement bracket and a tilt mechanism are all different jobs on the same blind, so the honest answer is a quote on inspection: the consultant sees what has failed, says whether it is worth repairing, and puts the figure in writing.
Where a blind is past sensible repair we will say so plainly instead of taking the fee, and price a replacement against the relevant product band. Either way the assessment is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
