A lot of people in Melba assume a shutter that has stopped working needs replacing. On the housing stock here that is rarely the case. Melba went up in the 1970s and the shutters fitted to those homes are usually solid units with one or two worn parts, so the sensible job is to change the worn part rather than the whole thing.
We cover Melba across the 2615 postcode, including the streets around the local shops and out to the Flynn, Spence, Evatt and Florey boundaries. The rest of north Belconnen falls on the same run.
Melba's homes are mostly single-storey brick from the 1970s, a good number of them on sloping blocks, with shutters added later. Age rather than heavy use is what brings most of these units undone.
Before quoting anything we check whether the existing curtain, tube and rails are sound, because in Melba they usually are. Slats can be swapped individually, guides and seals are replaceable, and a motor can be changed without touching the rest of the unit. Replacement only really makes sense where the curtain itself is damaged past repair or the opening has been changed, and we will tell you plainly if that is where you have ended up rather than quoting a new shutter by default.
