Common Awning Problems on the North Shore
North Shore shopping strips range from older interwar shopfronts to modern mixed-use buildings, and each brings its own problems.
Ageing tie rods and fixings
Many North Shore strips still have their original awnings, and the tie rods, eye bolts and wall fixings holding them up are often decades old. Rust at the wall is the most common failure we find.

Leaves, gutters and leaks
The leafy streets that make the North Shore so pleasant also fill awning gutters with leaves. Blocked box gutters overflow, water gets into the soffit and the structure starts to rust from the inside.
Why awnings leak
Busy roads and vehicle strikes
Shopfronts on the Pacific Highway, Military Road and other bus and truck routes are exposed to vehicle strikes along the kerb edge, plus constant vibration and traffic grime.

Council safety ordersA Recent North Shore Job
Curved shop awning, Pacific Highway, Roseville
The frame under this curved corner awning had rusted and corroded, leaving a tired and unsafe look on one of the Upper North Shore's busiest roads.
We repaired the structure and restored the awning to a clean, modern finish, giving the shop a frontage that suits the street again without the cost of a brand new awning.
Awning Rules for North Shore Councils
The North Shore is covered by several councils, including North Sydney, Willoughby, Lane Cove, Mosman, Ku-ring-gai, Hunters Hill and Hornsby. Each has its own planning controls, and any awning over a public footpath also needs council consent under the Roads Act.

North Shore Awning FAQs
Do you cover the Upper North Shore as well as the Lower North Shore?
Yes. We work across the whole North Shore, from North Sydney and Mosman through Chatswood and Lane Cove to Roseville, Pymble, Wahroonga and Hornsby.
Which councils do you deal with on the North Shore?
We regularly work within North Sydney, Willoughby, Lane Cove, Mosman, Ku-ring-gai, Hunters Hill and Hornsby council areas, and we can handle council paperwork for repairs, safety orders and new awnings.
How quickly can you get to a North Shore job?
For urgent problems such as storm or vehicle damage we can usually make the awning safe on the day. Standard inspections are booked at a time that suits you, with a written quote to follow.
Can my awning be repaired instead of replaced?
Most awnings we inspect can be repaired. If the main frame and the fixings into the building are sound, replacing the failed parts is usually far cheaper. See our awning repairs page for the problems we fix most often.
