My house has a 1950s clay-tiled roof. Due to the quake, many of these have slid off and the roof is no longer weatherproof. Section is on a slope (Cashmere hills) is 1 storey high at front and 3 stories high at rear. The tarps I've been using keep being torn/shredded by the tiles' sharp edges and I can't do the job single-handed or access the whole roof with my (short-ish) ladder. Anyone willing to quote and do the job (maybe an EQC approved temp fix < $2k)?

Handyman with building skills

Am wanting a skilled person to do a range of small jobs in my new downtown Auckland apartment with easy access and parking. Whilst I will deal directly with the curtaining and carpeting suppliers, I would prefer to deal directly with one person for the other tasks that need doing. That way, the whole key/security access/parking issue relevant to an apartment, will be much easier. * The kitchen is sadly lacking in storage and food prep space. I would like a built in cabinet (with worktop) in fr...

Wellington

Hi, I am looking to install a laminate floor into an open plan living and kitchen area covering an area of about 69 square meters.
