Roofer

Caroline from Havelock North

Several years ago we contacted a roofing firm to fix a leak in our roof because during certain rains water would come down into and through the bathroom ceiling. New flashings were needed, quote given and job excepted and complete. It took one 18 recent school leave and another older man 45 minutes. Great, I thought the job will come in under quoted price due the speed the job was done in. Alas no full price still charged because I was told I expected the quote. Very unethical. Anyway the reason I'm writing is yesterday the leak is back. Is there an honest and reliable person out there who could find the reason for my leak and " fix ". Or anyone that could recommend the same. Thank you in advance for any advice or help.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
