Liberty Grove went up as a single planned estate in the 1990s, which makes it unusual to work in. The homes share an architectural language, many of them share walls, and the shutters fitted to them tend to be the same age and the same specification. When one starts to fail, we often hear from a neighbour within the month.
The estate sits in the 2138 postcode between Concord West and Rhodes, with the Homebush Bay foreshore close by. We cover the townhouses and the apartment buildings alike, and Concord, Rhodes and Wentworth Point fall inside the same service run.
Townhouses and apartments bring different problems to freestanding houses. Access is tighter, upper level openings are the norm, and the hardware was specified by a builder rather than chosen by an owner.
Where a shutter sits on a street facing elevation or a shared wall, your owners corporation may have a view on what can change. Repairing the existing hardware usually sidesteps that question altogether, because nothing about the appearance of the building alters. If a replacement turns out to be the sensible option, we can put the specification in writing so you have something concrete to take to your strata manager rather than a verbal description.
