Summer storms come through Tuggeranong hard and fast, and Oxley gets its share of them. Hail dents slats, wind pulls curtains out of their guides, and a shutter that was working perfectly at lunchtime can be unusable by evening. Storm damage is one of the more common reasons we are called out here.
We cover Oxley in the 2903 postcode, from the streets bordering Kambah and Wanniassa through to the Monash and Greenway edges. Anywhere in the middle of the Tuggeranong Valley is on the same route.
Oxley was built through the 1980s, mostly brick homes on standard blocks, and the shutters are a mix of original installs and later retrofits. Weather and age both play a part in what fails.
If a storm has damaged a shutter, take photographs before anything is touched and leave the unit as it is unless it is unsafe. Most insurers want to see the damage as it happened. We can provide a written assessment of what has failed and what the repair involves, which is generally what an insurer asks for. Where a shutter has been left open and the property is exposed, tell us when you call and we will bring the job forward. Storm work tends to arrive all at once across Tuggeranong, so the sooner you get in touch after the event, the better your position in the queue.
