Merrylands West has been quietly rebuilding itself for twenty years. Post-war fibro and brick homes across the 2160 postcode have been extended, renovated and in a great many cases had a second dwelling added at the rear, and every one of those changes creates a new opening that somebody eventually wants a shutter on.
We work throughout Merrylands West and across into Merrylands, Greystanes, Guildford and Holroyd. The whole Cumberland area sits inside our regular service run, so we can usually pick up a job here without much notice.
A house carrying additions from three different decades has openings built to three different standards, which is exactly the situation where a batch shutter order goes wrong. Add inland summer heat and the failures follow a pattern.
Secondary dwellings are common here and they raise one specific question, which is whether the shutter has been fixed to something that will actually hold it. A lot of granny flat construction uses lightweight cladding over a frame, and a shutter needs to land on the frame rather than the sheet. If yours has started to move on the wall, or the rails no longer line up with each other, that is almost certainly what has happened.
