Hello,

Can anyone recommend someone who can fix and replace window shutters and their straps?

Many thanks,

Hi

This is really an easy job, just find anybody half handy! I buy the bits on Amazon to fix mine and DIY. The blinds are about 90Euros per window and the cord units are 13Euros. Takes a while to cut the blind slats down to size but is simple enough to remove and re fit them. Happy to share some pointers if required! I have another set (blind and cord) coming this week as.I am replacing one per month. Hope that helps. AlanH

This is the 1st one I replaced. The new blinds are aluminium and the whole operation is effortless (and quiet).

Hello,
Unfortunately I don't have the time to shop for and fix myself. It only actually needs a replacement strap as the original one has only now snapped after many years. I don't think there is a problem with anything else.

You can get all the parts at the Feritteria at Lo Marubu and cheaper than Amazon

Many thanks for all your recommendations, I'll keep you posted.
And Alan Horsfield - what a great job, well done! It's great when you can fix these things yourself so hats off to you and I wish you were one of my neighbours so I could get some DIY pointers from you on whatever arises!
Best wishes all.
