Large Parasol Repairs

One of our large parasols has suddenly stopped winding up and down, so obviously the cord inside the centre pole has snapped (or something) . We need to get it repaired asap but unfortunately it is too long to get into our car. Does anyone know a company that would come and take it away for repair or perhaps even repair on site?

did our easy peasy. get some thin paracord from any yapi market.yor can allow the cord to run down the inside of the tubes to connect with the winder (all comes apart with some hidden screws) then feed it to the parasol and through that. Tie it of and hey presto back to a working brolly.

Aladdins Cave on the main road to Catalkoy ( almost opposite the K Pet garage). He will re-cord umbrellas and its a very fiddly job unless you are a dedicated DIY person. Reasonable charges too.

Thanks very much muffin, we'll be down there next week. I read mickhm instructions and then looked at the offending parasol this end and decided our's is very much complicated (sorry mickhm)
