Repairs and General Maintenance Whilst many types of repairs are DIY projects, others are often more complicated, time-consuming or risky and require the help of a builder, contractor, plumber or electrician. This is where we can help. We can facilitate any repairs or general maintenance that you may need. The key to avoiding an expensive repair bill is having your finger on the pulse and repairing things as soon as you notice they require maintenance. Water infiltration is one of the biggest complaints of a homeowner. Small leaks can cause water stains and rotting wood. Soft, rotting wood is a delicacy for termites and other wood-damaging insects. Left unattended, a small leak may result in significant structural damage, which can mean the replacement of beams and framing. The best practice is to prevent damage occurring in the first place by touching up worn house paint and weather seals, cleaning out rain gutters, downspouts and drains.

Programmed Maintenance Inspections, adjustments, cleanings and replacements should be done regularly to ensure proper functioning of all the systems in your home. This can help to avoid costly emergencies. For example, annual testing and adjustment of alarm systems, your heating and air conditioning systems, cleaning out rain gutters, downspouts and drains, touching up worn paint work and weather seals. These are all maintenance issues which we can organise for you. Less frequent, but should still be done regularly and budgeted for include repainting or staining outdoor wood and metal, repainting and waterproofing masonry, cleaning out septic systems, and replacing old or aging items that have a limited lifespan.
Property Inspections When buying a house it's very important that you are aware of its condition. We are able to put you in touch with the right people to provide you with a pre-purchase condition report to assist you in your decision-making. In the past 15 years, New Zealand housing has been exposed to disasters like Leaky Building Syndrome, poor construction practices, faulty workmanship, and questionable building materials. Often purchasers have minimal equity in the purchase of a house, which places a higher need on the house requiring very little or no repair work to be carried out following the acquisition, as there's often no cash accessible to undertake these repairs. This places the home owner, as well as the financial institutions, in a vulnerable position which may result in financial or property loss. Property inspections are invaluable in assessing a house's condition.
