Across 70 real Inner West jobs in 9 suburbs under 5 councils, here's what characterises the work in this region: Federation and Victorian terraces and period cottages on tight blocks across the Inner West, Canada Bay and City of Sydney council areas — custom-cut frameless shower screens for out-of-square heritage bathrooms lead the work, with glass balustrades and splashbacks close behind.
The Inner West is Sydney's densest belt of Federation and Victorian housing: terraces, semis and workers' cottages on narrow lots through Marrickville, Ashfield, Rozelle, Dulwich Hill and Redfern, sitting alongside the warehouse-conversion and new-apartment stock around Alexandria and the Bays. That housing sets the brief — bathrooms are small and rarely the modern 'standard' 1200mm, and 80-to-120-year-old brickwork is almost never dead-plumb, so shower screens here are custom-cut to the opening rather than fitted from a stock size. It's tailoring for an irregular fit: an off-the-shelf panel won't sit true against a wall that's 5-15mm out over its height. Glass balustrades for the split-level terraces and stair voids, and kitchen splashbacks in the same renovations, round out the work.
The Inner West is close to our Greenacre depot, so access — not distance — is the planning constraint here. Narrow one-way streets, no off-street parking and shared terrace walls mean we template each opening on site and hand-carry panels through the house rather than assume a clean run in. Because the brickwork moves, we measure every job at the free measure and cut to that opening; we don't pre-cut off a plan. On the terraces that share a party wall we sequence the work so a balustrade or splashback in one renovation phase lines up with the shower screen going in, keeping the customer to a single set of trades on site.

Real engineering questions specific to Inner West's housing stock and council requirements.
Most Federation and Edwardian wet areas have walls 5-15mm out of plumb, and corners that aren't true 90 degrees. We template every Federation install on-site before manufacturing, not from drawings, so the glass is cut to fit the actual wall geometry, not the theoretical geometry. Custom-templating adds a week to the timeline but means the screen sits perfectly with no silicone gaps or visible packers.
Yes, at the same per-screen rate as standard sizes. Most original Federation wet areas are 800-1100mm wide because they were never designed for shower enclosures (showers retrofitted into bathtub spaces). We don't force customers into off-the-shelf sizes, we custom-cut the frameless screen to the exact opening width. No surcharge for tight Federation wet areas.
Federation/Edwardian properties in heritage-controlled streets need council approval for any visible boundary fencing or external balustrade installation. We do the heritage application as part of the quote, usually a 4-week council review. Internal installs (shower screens, splashbacks) typically don't trigger heritage review unless they're visible from the street. We confirm heritage status at first contact.
Apartment shower-screen and balustrade work in Inner West buildings (often 1920s-50s walk-ups) needs body-corp committee approval. We provide the committee a single application document covering install methodology, working-hours commitment, lift-protection plan, and waste removal, most committees approve in 2-3 weeks. We coordinate multiple unit installs in the same building into a single week-long window where possible.
