St Clair was built out as one big planned release through the 1970s and 1980s, which means most of the housing here is the same age and the shutters fitted to it tend to reach the end of their life at roughly the same time. When we get called to one home on a street, we often end up back on that street within the year.
We cover all of St Clair inside the 2759 postcode, from the northern streets near the St Marys and Colyton boundary through to the Erskine Park side. Minchinbury and Orchard Hills are on the same run, so we can usually combine jobs across the area on the one visit.
The brick veneer homes of this era were fitted with aluminium windows in standard sizes, and nearly every shutter in St Clair is a retrofit added later rather than something that came with the house.
Two jobs make the biggest difference to a shutter out here, and neither is expensive. Clearing the guide rails properly and using a lubricant rated for the temperatures St Clair actually reaches will stop most binding problems before they turn into a motor replacement. We do both as part of any service call, and we will tell you honestly if the unit has enough life left to be worth it.
