It may be a ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ in Keats’ poetic England, but in Melbourne, autumn can throw up anything from a sizzler to an icy blast.
And this is where family-owned On Site Flyscreens – opened by Simon Geddes more than 16 years ago, with brother Ben joining him in 2006 – comes in.
The firm specialises in the manufacture and installation of roller shutters, along with flyscreens (including retractables), screen
doors, grilles and security doors.
Simon says roller shutters are fantastic additions to homes, for any season and for two important reasons. He’s also keen to
encourage installation – so mention this story for a 30 per cent discount.
“Melbourne’s seasons have lots of temperature extremes and roller shutters have great insulation qualities,” he says.
“If it’s like other autumns, we’ll see hot days through to frosty mornings, so on days when things get unexpectedly uncomfortable, home owners can down their shutters to alter internal temperature and potentially save big on energy bills.
“Roller shutters are also good at deterring unwelcome interest so they’re a highly recommended security investment.”
Now, there’s not a good business around that doesn’t lay claim to great customer service, but, as Simon says, they really do
offer ‘that bit extra’.
“Our team, dependent only on weather and parking, can usually have a flyscreen measured, made and fitted on the spot,” he says.
“Now that’s fast! And they start from as little as $49. Along with this, our customers deal with the same highly skilled tradesperson all the way through any job, right from measuring up. This provides a welcome consistency for any customer.”
Free quotes and a wide selection of styles and powder coating colours are also on offer. And just in case you’re wondering
if you’ll be in good hands, most of the crew at On Site Flyscreens have been with the business for about 12 years, so have
garnered great skills and know how to treat people – not to mention they must be good blokes to work with.
On Site Flyscreens are at 16 Mary Court, Epping and are open from 6.30am-6pm Monday to Saturday. Phone them on 9401 3066.
