I've messaged you.

Thank you so much, that would be brilliant. Is there a way I can private message you?

I'm in Lordswood, Near Chatham.

Are you saying it might be easier to feed the chain through if I unwind the blind? Perhaps this will give more play in the clutch? I'll definitely try levering again as you have suggested, maybe with a larger screwdriver this time. I guess I'm just worried about breaking something. I seriously...

It looks as though there's a small screw in the centre of the bracket holding the slotted part in place but to get to it is nigh on impossible as the blind is in the way. I'm not even sure it needs removing. Why does everything have to be so complicated? I have other blinds around the house and...

Thank you for the reply. I have tried your suggestion with a flat-headed screwdriver, I've also wiggled and tried to lever from all angles. I cannot replace the chain without removing the bracket. The blind is tight and the clutch doesn't move at all so cannot be turned. The metal chain is also...

Hello The chain came off the large roller blind in my lounge and the connector is missing so I guess this is the reason why. The blind is a ready-made two year old roller. I need to get it down so I can put the chain back on the clutch and fit a new connector but I cannot get it off the...

Roller blind bracket.

Many thanks for your advice. I have replaced the post and everything is now as it should be.

Even better. Thanks John.

I guess we'll never know. All the same I'm very grateful for all your help. Thanks once again.

It has started to crack. It definitely hasn't rotted and I was told the posts were pressure treated, at least I think that's what they said. It's their business, they are a well respected local firm so I'm pretty sure they would have been.

Meant to say- the entire fence and gate was put in at the same time. I'm thinking the steel plates might be the easiest way for me to tackle it. I'm surprised that a relatively new gate post could fail so soon.

Pleased you like my garden, ha ha! Thank you so much for the advice. It'll be invaluable to me. I'll now have to work on my muscles before I proceed. :D

Thank you for your reply. I haven't a clue how to post a photo but I'll give it my best shot. I've found one although it's not a close up. The offending post is the one with the hinges. I believe I've created an album, perhaps you can let me know if I've been successful. Thanks

Hello I'm new to the forum and quite a novice when it comes to fence repairs ( being female!! ). I had my fence and gate replaced maybe nine years ago. They were installed by a reputable firm and I have maintained them properly however I have noticed the posts either side of the gate ( full...
