Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• Do you have experience repairing Roman blinds and the specific headrail type I have?

• Can you show photos of similar repairs and confirm any warranty on parts or labour?

• Will you need to remove the blind for workshop work or can most fixes be done in situ?

• What parts might be required and how long will ordering add to the job?

• Do you carry public liability insurance and will you need permission to work at height at my property?

• How do you charge for travel, call‑out and additional labour if more faults are found?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• clear the area under the blind and remove fragile items

• check and tell the tradie about high windows or awkward access and whether you can provide a ladder or parking nearby

• have the blind model or photos ready and note any previous repairs

• advise the tradie of pets, children and where power sockets or electrics are near the blind

• agree who supplies ladders or scaffold and confirm insurance for working at height
