Welcome to your roller blinds troubleshooting hub. Learn how to quickly fix fraying edges, uneven rolling, screaming mechanisms, and common roller shade problems.
- What to Do If a Roller Blind Won't Roll Up or Down
A roller blind that won't move is almost always a spring tension problem.

- Why Are My Roller Blinds Crooked or Uneven
Roller blinds go crooked for a handful of reasons, most of which come down to fitting rather than the blind itself.

A wobbly roller blind mechanism is almost always a bracket problem. The most common cause is screws pulling out of a soft or crumbling wall.
- Why Does My Roller Blind Make Noise When Moving
A noisy roller blind is almost always a fitting or maintenance issue, not a faulty product.
- How to Fix Fraying Edges on a Roller Blind
Roller blind fabric frays when the cut edge hasn't been sealed properly, or when the blind gets caught, snagged, or worn down over time.

Creases and wrinkles in roller blinds usually come down to one of two things: the blind was stored rolled up for too long, or it got squashed during delivery.
- How to Protect Roller Blind Fabric From Sun Fading
Sun fading isn't a fault. It's what UV does to fabric over time, and roller blinds take the full force of it every day they're down.
