Two Camdens keep us busy. There is the old town, where nineteenth century buildings line Argyle Street and the surrounding streets sit inside a heritage conservation area, and there is the newer housing spreading across what used to be farmland around it. The shutter work each needs pulls in almost opposite directions, and it is worth being clear which one you are calling about.
We cover Camden in the 2570 postcode, including the town centre, the older residential streets, and the surrounding rural properties, and we take in Narellan, Elderslie, Currans Hill and the Catherine Field side on the same run through the Macarthur area.
Old masonry, new estates and rural sheds each fail in their own way, and the Nepean flats add humidity that the higher ground does not get.
Security shutters on the older commercial buildings in Camden have to work every trading day and still look right on a heritage street. Those two requirements pull against each other, and the answer is nearly always to keep and repair the hardware that is already there rather than replace it with something that changes the frontage. Where a shutter is genuinely finished, we will talk through the options with you before anything is ordered, because putting the wrong unit on a building in the conservation area creates a problem that outlasts the repair.
