Why this matters in Emu Heights
Steep blocks generate work that doesn't come in a standard size. Steps and landings that have to suit the fall, retaining and terracing under 600mm, handrails that follow an uneven grade, gates that clear a path on a slope. We set out on site from what's actually there rather than from a plan, because nothing on a block like this is square.
Detached homes on sloping, bush-adjacent blocks with substantial native tree cover.
Some jobs get knocked back by everyone. Too small to interest a builder, too specific for a general handyman, or they need something made to fit rather than bought off a shelf. A gate that has to close over a path that isn't level. A screen to hide the bins that suits the house instead of looking like an afterthought. A repair on an older place where the new work has to match what's already there.
Custom work starts with measurements and a discussion of how the space will be used. We agree on the materials, finish and scope before work begins.
What that means in practice is more time on the setup than the build. Old houses aren't square, ground isn't level, and a door opening that measures 820 at the top can be 810 at the bottom. Anything bought in a standard size and forced into a space like that ends up with a gap somewhere, and the gap is what people see.
We cover the whole of Emu Heights 2750 for custom projects — the escarpment slope rising off Great Western Highway, the Nepean River and Emu Plains flats below, Blue Mountains National Park on the western boundary and the Old Bathurst Road climb toward Lapstone.
What's included on a Emu Heights job
Custom Projects in Emu Heights — common questions
Is there a minimum job size?
No. Small jobs are the point of this service. If travel makes one tiny item uneconomic on its own we'll say so and suggest batching it with anything else on the list.
What if the job needs a licensed trade?
We'll tell you before quoting. Electrical, plumbing, gas and structural work goes to someone licensed. We don't take work we shouldn't be doing, and we'd rather lose the job than do it badly.
Do you design it, or do I need to know what I want?
Either. Plenty of people ring with a problem rather than a solution — the bins look terrible, the side gate doesn't shut, there's nowhere to put anything in the garage. We'll come out, look at it and suggest options. If you already know exactly what you want, even better.
Can you match existing timber and finishes?
Usually. Standard profiles are easy, older profiles sometimes need machining or a close match, and some things aren't obtainable any more. We'll tell you which of those you're dealing with before you commit, along with what the compromise would look like.
How long is the wait?
Depends on what's in front of it and whether materials need ordering. Ring us and we'll give you a real date rather than a vague one. If we can't do it in the timeframe you need, we'll say so.
Will you take on a steep Emu Heights block?
Yes, and it's most of what we do here. The suburb sits on the escarpment slope and a lot of contractors quietly decline the steeper blocks. We work slopes as standard with the right machines for it rather than putting a ride-on somewhere it shouldn't be.
How often should gutters be done backing onto the national park?
Twice a year at minimum here, and some properties want three. Gums shed year-round rather than in one autumn drop, so a once-a-year clean leaves them full for half the year. On a bush-interface block it's also genuine bushfire preparation, and it's worth doing in spring rather than in December with everyone else.
Is bushfire preparation something you actually do?
It's the same work, done at the right time and with the right focus: gutters and valleys cleared, leaf litter out of the roof gullies, vegetation cut back off the house, and the general fuel load around the property reduced. We're not certifiers and we don't issue reports, but we'll get the physical work done and photograph it so you've got a dated record.
