Rising ground above Toongabbie Creek gives Winston Hills real elevation over the suburbs below it, and the higher blocks catch noticeably more wind than the flat streets around Toongabbie and Northmead. Wind is what shows up in the repairs here.
We cover Winston Hills across the 2153 postcode, from the higher streets down toward the creek corridor and out to the Baulkham Hills, Northmead, Seven Hills and Old Toongabbie boundaries. Constitution Hill and Toongabbie are on the same run.
The suburb was developed from the 1960s onward and a lot of the homes are split-level or built to follow the slope, with wide windows taking advantage of the outlook.
If your shutter rattles in a strong wind, it is worth dealing with rather than living with. The movement wears the guide inserts, and once those are gone the curtain has even more room to move and the wear accelerates. Replacing worn inserts and checking the slat end caps is a modest job that quietens the unit down and stops the problem compounding through a windy winter. On the most exposed elevations it is also worth leaving the shutter fully down or fully up in high wind rather than part way, since a curtain stopped mid travel has the most room to move.
