Common Questions About Quick-jobs
What do you do to label it?
I'll test it works, make sure you can access it easily, then fit a clear label so anyone (including you in five years) knows exactly what it is and which way to turn it. Simple but effective.
Can you just use a bigger screw?
Sometimes, if the hole's not too worn. But often it's better to plug the old hole properly and use a fresh screw of the right size. Lasts longer than bodging it with an oversized screw that might split the wood.
Will they stay aligned or will they go wonky again?
Should stay put if I've adjusted them properly and the rollers aren't worn out. If the rollers are knackered they'll need replacing eventually, but adjustment buys you time.
I've got a plasterboard wall - will it hold?
Yes, as long as I use plasterboard fixings rather than standard plugs. Plasterboard fixings spread the load. For really heavy stuff I'll find a stud (wooden support behind the plasterboard) and fix into that.
Can all venetian blinds be restrung?
Most can, yeah. The cord routing can be fiddly but it's doable if the slats and mechanism are sound. If the headrail's cracked or the slats are broken, that's different - might not be worth repairing.
Do you have watch batteries with you?
Not as standard, no. But if you tell me when booking what other jobs I'm doing, and mention you'd like the watch battery changed too, I can pick one up on the way. Or you can buy one beforehand (check the back of your watch for the number).
