Woodpark is a small suburb hemmed in by much larger industrial areas, and the airborne grit that comes with that is what wears out shutter rails here. It is a slow problem rather than a dramatic one, which is exactly why it gets left too long.
We cover Woodpark in the 2164 postcode and the surrounding streets in Guildford West, Merrylands West, Greystanes and Smithfield. Yennora, Fairfield and the wider Cumberland area are all on the same run.
The housing is largely post-war, with standard window openings and shutters retrofitted long after the homes were built, on brickwork that predates any thought of them.
Shutters in Woodpark need their rails cleaned more often than the same unit in a leafier suburb, and it makes a genuine difference to how long they last. Clearing the channel out and relubricating with the right product is part of any service call we do here. If your shutter has started to sound rough as it runs, that noise is the rail telling you it is overdue. Owners here sometimes reach for a spray lubricant to quieten it down, and on a rail full of grit that makes the wear worse rather than better.
