Broken Blinds? Don't Replace — Call Forbes Blinds First

June 2026  ·  4 min read  ·  By Shiloh Forbes

Broken blinds are one of those frustrations people put up with for far too long — and almost always unnecessarily. Before you buy a replacement, call us on 0208 050 4406.

What We Repair

Forbes Blinds carries out repair call-outs for all blind and shutter types across London and the Home Counties:

We repair products from any manufacturer. You do not need to have bought from us.

Why Repair Rather Than Replace?

The most common blind faults are remarkably simple: a snapped chain, a broken bracket, a slipped spring or a faulty motor controller. In most cases a single component replacement costs a fraction of a full blind replacement and takes under an hour on-site. We regularly see customers who have been living with a broken £400 blind — because they assumed it needed replacing — when a £25 part fixed it entirely.

Motorised Blind Repairs

Motorised blind faults are particularly worth investigating before replacing. Most failures are a battery issue, a motor controller fault or a receiver pairing problem — all of which are fully serviceable. A motor swap-out is a fraction of the cost of a new blind and takes us 30–45 minutes on-site. Before you spend hundreds on a replacement, call us.
