Time on Site

 

Most minor conservatory blind repairs take 30–90 minutes per blind; full replacements or motor conversions typically take 2–5 hours depending on parts, roof height and access

 

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• do you have experience repairing conservatory blinds and fitting motorised units

• can you provide a written estimate that splits labour, parts and call‑out

• what guarantee do you offer on parts and labour and is the motor warranty transferable

• will you bring common replacement parts or will you need to order them and return

• how will you manage working at height and do you carry relevant PPE and public liability insurance

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• confirm clear access, parking and where the tradie can park near the conservatory

• move fragile items and cover furniture; give access to both interior and exterior if possible

• tell the tradie about roof height, glazing type and any restricted external access before the visit

• check whether electrical work for motors needs a separate qualified electrician and arrange permissions

• ask about parts lead times and whether the tradie will charge an extra return visit if parts are required
