Two very different kinds of building sit side by side in Kingston. There are the original cottages from the 1920s and 1930s on the older streets, and there are the apartment blocks that have gone up around the Foreshore over the past twenty years. The shutter faults in each are almost nothing alike, and the repair approach has to change accordingly.
We cover Kingston across the 2604 postcode, from the older residential streets through to the Kingston Foreshore apartments and the Wentworth Avenue side. Griffith, Narrabundah, Barton and Fyshwick are all close by and on the same route.
On the older houses the problem is usually the building itself. On the newer apartments it is more often the hardware or the way it was commissioned when the block was handed over.
Some Kingston streets carry heritage provisions, and changing the look of a street-facing elevation is not always straightforward. We repair existing hardware wherever it can be saved, which keeps the frontage as it is. In apartment buildings, work on a shutter fitted to a common-property facade normally needs the owners corporation involved, so it is worth checking that before you book anything in.
