Bushfire is the reason a good number of Maraylya properties have shutters at all. Out on rural blocks in the 2765 postcode a solid shutter over a window is doing two jobs at once, and owners here tend to think about theirs more carefully than a suburban homeowner ever needs to.
We service Maraylya and the acreage around it, and Nelson, Box Hill, Oakville, Pitt Town and Glenorie all fall inside the same service run. Properties out this way often have long driveways and stock gates, so tell us what we are dealing with when you book so the visit is not wasted.
Acreage homes sit under more tree cover and take more weather than a suburban block, and the shutters show it. Most of what we find here is environmental rather than mechanical.
A shutter only helps on a bad day if it actually closes, and the time to find out yours does not is well before the season starts. If it is slow, noisy or stopping short of the sill, get it looked at in autumn rather than in January. We also check that any motorised unit has a working manual override, because power out here is not something to count on when the weather turns, and on a lot of the shutters we open the override has never once been tested.
