Blind Repairs, Measuring & Installation Across Kent

Broken mechanism? Sagging headrail? Need a proper measure for a supply-only order? We repair, service, measure and install blinds across the whole of East Kent from our Hythe High Street showroom.

What we cover

From a single stuck chain to whole-house re-installation after a renovation — we work on any brand, any age of blind, anywhere in East Kent.

Blind Repairs

Broken chains, jammed mechanisms, sagging headrails, snapped cords — we repair in-situ where possible, or take the unit back to the workroom.

Replacement Parts

Cassette caps, brackets, side-channel runners, tensioners, motors — we stock or source most common parts for major UK and European brands.

Re-Tensioning & Re-Stringing

Roman and Venetian blinds that have lost their pull — we re-cord, re-tension and re-test against current child-safety regs.

Motor Servicing

Battery replacements, motor recalibration and smart-home re-pairing for Luxaflex, Somfy and most major motorised ranges.

Measuring & Survey

On its own, ahead of a third-party install, or as part of a quote — we'll measure any window properly and leave you with a written reveal sheet.

Installation Only

Ordered blinds elsewhere? We install supply-only orders across Kent at a fixed per-window rate.

Blind repairs by type

Venetian blind repair. The usual faults are slats that will not tilt, a lift cord that has frayed or snapped, and ladder strings that have broken so slats hang crooked. Re-stringing restores the lift and spacing, while a worn tilt mechanism in the headrail can often be replaced on its own. Wood and faux wood slats are heavier than aluminium, so cords on those blinds tend to wear sooner.

Vertical blind repair. Vertical louvres hang from small carriers in the track. When a carrier or hanger snaps, a louvre drops or stops rotating; when the bottom chain breaks, the louvres swing apart. These parts are small and can usually be swapped without replacing the fabric. If the louvres will not close evenly, the track may need its carriers re-aligned.

Roller and Roman blinds. Rollers often fail at the chain control or the end bracket, and a fabric that tracks to one side can sometimes be corrected. Roman blinds rely on cords running through rings on the back, which can be re-corded with safety-compliant parts.

If you are searching for blind repairs near you, we work across East Kent excluding Thanet from our Hythe High Street showroom. Shutters have their own page: see shutter repairs for louvres, hinges and tilt rods. If a blind is past saving, compare faux wood blinds or the full made to measure range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before you book a repair, install or measure-only visit.

Yes — we repair blinds and shutters across Kent regardless of where they were bought, including online-only and chain-store brands where parts are still available.

It depends on the fault and any replacement parts required. We inspect the blind and quote before starting work.

Where compatible parts are available, we can replace cords, chains, tensioners and cleats with safety-compliant parts.

Yes — motor diagnostics, battery replacements, remote re-pairing and smart-home setup for Luxaflex, Somfy, Hunter Douglas and most major motorised systems.

Ask us whether a measure-only visit is suitable for your project. Our free home consultation includes measuring when you are considering our made-to-measure products.

Start with the simple checks: make sure a chain or cord is seated in its gear, clear dust from the headrail, and look for a bracket that has worked loose. If a mechanism is cracked or a cord has snapped inside the headrail, stop there, as forcing it often breaks more parts.

Often, yes. Snapped cords, worn chains, loose brackets and tired tensioners can usually be replaced if compatible parts exist. We inspect the blind and tell you honestly whether a repair is worthwhile.

It is fixing the parts that make a blind work, such as cords, chains, control units, ladder strings, carriers and brackets, so the existing fabric or slats can carry on being used.

Yes. Venetian repairs often mean re-stringing or a new tilt mechanism; vertical repairs usually mean replacing broken carriers, hangers, weights or chains. Bring the blind's details to the visit.

Ask us about the blind and its fittings. We will inspect the goods before fitting and flag any issues before work begins.
