A total fire ban for Christchurch, the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula has been issued as the fire risk reaches similar levels to those before the Port Hills fires two years ago.

The ban, which prohibits any outdoor fires in the open air being lit, comes into force at midnight on Tuesday.

The Waimakariri, Selwyn and Hurunui districts remain in a restricted fire season which meant only permitted fires could be lit. If the scorching hot weather continues, those areas were also expected to be in a total fire ban by the end of next week.

Completed exterior weather boards and facia

Nicole from Kevin Steel Painters & Decorators

These exterior weatherboarda were in pretty bad condition, not having any work done on them in 20+ years. The paint had peeled right off the weather boards.

The paint had peeled right off the weather boards. Pur process includes sanding, sealing/undercoating, filling, under coating filler, then finishing off with two top coats of the chosen colour. Sanding in between all coats is essential as it gives us a smooth surface to work with.

Hard work in the hot weather but a bonus is that everything dries very quickly and we are able to get the job done quickly.

Take advantage of the hot weather if you are looking to have your exterior spruced up 😊
