Shutter work in Guildford comes down to two things, the age of the housing and the heat. A lot of the stock here dates from the post-war decades, the shutters on it were added long afterwards, and both of them are working in a part of Sydney that gets hotter than the coast every summer.
We cover Guildford and Old Guildford in the 2161 postcode, and we take in Guildford West, Yennora, South Granville, Merrylands and Villawood on the same run. If you are near the station or out toward the Woodville Road side, it makes no difference to how quickly we can get to you.
Much of Guildford is single storey brick and fibro from the 1950s and 60s, with a mix of newer duplexes filling in the older blocks. Openings on the original houses have often settled out of square over sixty or seventy years.
A larger share of Guildford homes still have manual shutters than in the newer estates further west, and those are worth keeping if the hardware is sound. A frayed strap, a stiff winder or a tired spring can normally be dealt with without replacing the shutter. If you would rather move to a motor, the existing box and curtain can often be reused, which keeps the work and the disruption down.
