If your Hebersham shutter has started sticking, the odds are it is the guide rails rather than the motor. This is one of the hotter parts of Sydney through summer, dust carries in on the westerlies, and the two together fill a track with the sort of residue that slows a curtain to a crawl.
We cover Hebersham in the 2770 postcode along with Mount Druitt, Emerton, Whalan, Dharruk, Bidwill and Plumpton. It is a single run for us across the Mount Druitt area, so no address here is out of the way.
Hebersham is largely 1970s housing on compact blocks, a good deal of it since renovated. Shutters were nearly all added later, which means how well they work often depends on how carefully they were fitted rather than on the unit itself.
A shutter that is difficult to operate stops being used, and one that is never closed is not doing the job it was fitted for. That is the practical reason we push people to sort out a sticky shutter early rather than living with it. Most of the time the fix is a rail clean, a relubrication and a limit adjustment rather than anything major, and the difference in how the shutter runs afterwards is obvious straight away.
