Getting to a shutter in Middle Dural sometimes takes longer than fixing it. Properties in the 2158 postcode sit on large blocks behind long driveways, often with a gate and a decent walk from the parking spot around to the far side of the house, and it pays to sort out access before the van turns up.
We cover Middle Dural and the acreage around it, along with Dural, Kenthurst, Glenorie, Galston and Arcadia. This part of the Hornsby and Hills fringe is a regular route for us rather than an occasional trip.
Heavy tree cover is the defining feature here. Blocks sit surrounded by mature natives and the debris they drop finds its way into every part of a shutter that has an opening in it.
When you book, tell us about the gate code, the dogs and whether we can get a vehicle close to the affected side of the house. An upper storey shutter on a sloping block sometimes needs proper elevated access rather than a ladder, and knowing that in advance means we arrive with the right gear the first time instead of booking a second visit to bring it. It also helps to know whether the shutter is on the house or on a studio, shed or pool house further down the block, because that changes what we load into the van.
