Fly screen and window track cleaning for Hunters Hill homes

Hunters Hill is in the Hunter's Hill Council area, about 45 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Hunters Hill has some of Australia's oldest sandstone houses. Cleaning them is slow, careful work, and that's how we do it. Blast through that skin and the wall starts to erode.

Sand from the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers blows into door tracks and builds up in screen mesh. It is the main reason coastal sliders get stiff, and the main reason screens look grey.

Older homes often have timber-framed screens or custom-made screens on double-hung windows. We remove and refit them carefully and mark each one.

Leaf litter, seeds and insects collect in tracks under trees, and pollen clogs fine mesh in spring. Screens here need a wash more often than the glass.

Hunters Hill has some of Australia's oldest sandstone houses, on the peninsula between the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers. Streets like Alexandra Street, Woolwich Road and Ferry Street are lined with nineteenth-century cottages and villas, and almost the whole suburb is under heritage controls. Many windows are original timber sashes with old glass.

How often in Hunters Hill

For most Hunters Hill homes, fly screen and track cleaning is worth doing every 3 to 6 months. Sand fills tracks and mesh quickly near the beach.

Working in Hunters Hill

Old glass can have bubbles, waves and fine scratches that a clean won't remove, and old putty is fragile. We clean these windows slowly, by hand, and keep the water and pressure off the frames and the soft sandstone around them.
