Oscar and Chris
‘We are very pleased with our security doors and screens. The process from quoting to installing was seamless and professional… we have no hesitation in recommending Chris, a job well done.’ – Leigh McPharlin
‘We supply and install plantation shutters, security screens, fly screens, internal and external blinds, awnings, pet doors and even wardrobe doors! If it provides shade, keeps you safe and deters the creepy-crawlies, we’re all over it,’ smiles Oscar Lister, co-owner with Chris Hudson of Hervey Bay Screens and Blinds.
Oscar and Chris and their families are living the dream in Hervey Bay. ‘I’m originally from the UK where the weather can be dull, to put it mildly,’ says Oscar. ‘After 15 years in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, it was always my dream to live and work in a beautiful location and we have it all here: fantastic beaches, lovely people and sunshine!’
Professional tradies like Chris and Oscar – they have a combined 50 years’ experience in the industry and have worked together for many years – are in demand in Hervey Bay to meet the needs of the growing population.

‘The building trade for new homes was one of the reasons that prompted me to move several years ago from the Sunshine Coast,’ explains Chris. ‘We are very busy fitting screens and blinds for residential and commercial clients and, in particular, in the over-50s lifestyle and RV villages. When people move to Queensland, they definitely do need shade, a lot of shade.
‘Some customers contact us knowing exactly what they want while others will outline their personal requirements and ask for advice based on our knowledge of the market. We’re always happy to research the latest products in order to deliver aesthetic and functional solutions that will enhance a home or office space while addressing concerns relating to security. And we show samples and explain all the options in simple terms – there’s no trade jargon.’
‘Currently, we’re seeing a high demand for security screens,’ adds Oscar. ‘We offer a stainless Steel woven mesh, 316 Marine Grade Saltwater series with a 20-year warranty against rust and corrosion. Also, we are regularly called in by customers who have new pets and need a pet door fitted, usually when they are tired of being a full-time doorman!

‘We’re proud of our friendly, courteous customer service and it’s very pleasing when new clients are referred to us by their friends and neighbours – and many are. Also, if we stop off for a coffee (The Baker’s Room of course!), someone will spot our signage and wander over for a chat.’
Oscar and Chris handle every aspect of their service themselves – they never use sub-contractors – from the first enquiry call or email to the job quote and the measuring-up and full installation process.
‘We will look after you from start to finish and get the job done on time and on budget, so do get in touch for a free consultation,’ says Chris. ‘We look forward to meeting you.’
