Newington was built in one go as the athletes' village for the 2000 Olympics, and the suburb has aged as a single cohort ever since. Houses in the 2127 postcode went up within a couple of years of one another, and anything fitted to them since has tended to be fitted at much the same time too.
We cover all of Newington, from the Silverwater side across to the Sydney Olympic Park boundary and the streets facing the nature reserve. Wentworth Point, Homebush Bay and Lidcombe are on the same run.
The housing is uniform, mostly two storey, on compact lots with consistent window sizes. That makes diagnosis straightforward, and it also means one household's fault tends to become everybody's fault eventually.
There is a practical upside to living somewhere everything was built at once. If your neighbour has just had a motor replaced, we probably already know what is fitted to your house and what the failure looks like when it comes. It also means that if yours is the last original unit left in the street, it is worth having it looked at before it strands you rather than afterwards. Where a whole street decides to deal with it at once, we can work through the units in sequence rather than treating each as a separate callout.
