Lyons is one of the earliest Woden suburbs and it shows in the housing. Most homes here date from the mid 1960s, which puts them squarely in the group where the original brickwork, the window frames and any retrofitted shutter are all working against each other by now.
We cover Lyons in the 2606 postcode, from the streets near the local shops through to the Chifley, Curtin and Hughes boundaries and across towards the Woden Town Centre side at Phillip. Anywhere in the northern half of the Woden Valley is on the same route.
Sixty-year-old homes move. Frames drop a little, mortar softens and openings lose square, so a shutter that was fitted true ten years ago is no longer running true today.
A good part of Lyons went up as public housing and was later sold off, so many homes share the same floor plans and the same window sizes. That works in your favour on a repair. There is a fair chance we have seen your exact opening before and already know which hardware suits it, which shortens the diagnosis and means we more often have the right part on the van the first time out. If your home is one of the later infill builds rather than the original stock, mention it, because the window sizes and the fixing method are both different.
