Homebush West is denser than the suburbs around it, with a lot of unit blocks and townhouses alongside the older houses, and a good share of the shutters we service here sit on apartments rather than freestanding homes. That changes who we deal with and how a job is arranged as much as it changes the work itself.
We cover Homebush West across the 2140 postcode, including the streets near Flemington station and the residential pockets running toward Homebush, Lidcombe and Strathfield. The markets end of the suburb is on the same run.
Housing here is a mix of post-war brick homes and later medium density development. The suburb sits close to major roads, the rail line and the market precinct, so there is more traffic movement around it than a typical residential street carries.
Plenty of people here have shutters as much for noise and light as for security, particularly on the streets nearer the main roads and the markets. A shutter that will not close fully stops doing that job well before it stops working altogether, so a small gap at the bottom rail is worth acting on. If you are in a strata building, check whether the shutter is your responsibility or the owners corporation's before booking, and we can put our assessment in writing if the committee needs it.
