St Kilda West property context

For awning window repair, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Review the sash support, stay arms, catch alignment and safe access before an ordinary mechanical repair is accepted.

This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
