Repair a deck, plus build a new hand rail

House Repair & Maintenance

North Shore

A small section by the french doors has an internal foyer below it, so it will need waterproofing (either by you if you're certified to do that work - or we can get someone else in).

Bathroom extractor fan

Residential Insulation

A 1930s bungalow, previous owners have renovated half the bathroom area into the kitchen. So when we moved in, the extractor fan/grill/heatlamp/light all in one fixture was on the kitchen ceiling. Since then we have removed that exterior fixture and put in a new kitchen light fitting. I believe the old extractor fan duct is still inside the ceiling cavity, disconnected. The kitchen is right next to the bathroom, so was wondering if the extractor duct can be slightly extended and use it to deh...
