Everything in Ropes Crossing was built at once, on the old ADI land at St Marys, and the whole suburb went up inside about a decade. That means the shutters here are all reaching the same point in their service life at roughly the same time.
We cover Ropes Crossing in the 2760 postcode along with St Marys, Jordan Springs, Werrington and the Colyton side. The regional parkland along the northern edge of the estate backs onto a good number of the properties we attend.
Estate homes here sit on small lots with minimal eaves, and a lot of the glazing faces west with nothing at all shading it through the afternoon. The upside is that the hardware is recent enough that parts for it are still current.
Where a shutter was fitted as part of the build there may still be a manufacturer warranty on the motor, so it is worth checking your build paperwork before you pay for a replacement. We will tell you if that looks likely from what we find. Parts for estate-standard units are widely available, which means a fault in the motor or the control gear almost never requires replacing the whole shutter, whatever anyone else has told you. It is also worth keeping the handover documentation from your builder, because it usually names the shutter brand and that saves time on the day.
