Willmot dates from 1971 and sits out on the north-western edge of the Blacktown area, roughly fifty kilometres from the coast with nothing to soften the summer. The shutters here are old, and finding the right part matters more than it does in a new suburb.
We cover Willmot in the 2770 postcode along with the adjoining suburbs of Shalvey, Lethbridge Park, Ropes Crossing and Shanes Park. The wider Mount Druitt area is part of the same run.
Housing dates from the early 1970s and the shutters fitted to it span several decades of different systems, some of which are no longer manufactured.
When a shutter is this old the first thing we work out is whether it can be repaired at all. We will look at what system it is, check what is still available and tell you plainly if the sensible answer is a replacement rather than chasing parts that no longer exist. Plenty of older units are worth saving, but you should hear it straight either way before you spend anything. If you can find any branding on the headbox or the winder, a photo of it sent through beforehand helps us identify the system and turn up with the right parts.
