Ngunnawal was one of the first big Gungahlin releases and most of it went up through the 1990s, on smaller blocks than the older Canberra suburbs. Houses sit closer together and closer to the street here, which is a large part of why so many households fitted shutters in the first place.
We cover Ngunnawal throughout the 2913 postcode, from the streets near the local shops across to the Nicholls, Amaroo, Palmerston and Casey boundaries. The Gungahlin town centre is a few minutes away and on the same run.
Shutters in Ngunnawal are typically twenty to thirty years old now, fitted to brick homes with standard aluminium window frames. That age bracket comes with a fairly consistent list of failures.
On streets where homes sit close together, a shutter is often the main thing between a ground-floor window and the outside. A shutter that no longer locks down properly, or one that can be lifted from outside because the end locks have failed, is worth acting on rather than living with. If yours has developed play at the bottom rail, or it rattles when you push it, say so when you call and we will check the locking hardware while we are on site.
