But beneath the neat garden and solid pathways, our inspection revealed a different story — multiple cracks and offsets in the ceramic drain lines, likely caused by the 2010–2011 earthquakes.
The damage wasn’t causing major symptoms yet, but it was only a matter of time. Thankfully, the property had an EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim on record, and our team was able to guide the owner through the process of submitting a repair claim.
Once approved, we replaced the damaged sections, reinstated the site to its original condition, and left both tenant and owner relieved to have caught the problem early — and grateful it didn’t come out of their pocket.

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.
If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into the project?
And maybe the bigger question — should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?

… View moreThe Cemetery Club by Ivan Menchell and directed for Company Theatre by Kathy Gent has received excellent reviews for its first three performances and tickets are selling fast for the season.
Below is a review that explains why it will appeal to anyone who enjoys a night out at the theatre:
There are two subjects people often avoid — death and sex. Yet both are part of life’s journey, and The Cemetery Club brings them to the stage with warmth, humour, and unflinching honesty.
In just two hours, this production takes audiences through a heartfelt mix of laughter, friendship, guilt, nostalgia, and acceptance. With only three main characters and two cameo appearances, it’s an intimate piece of theatre that proves you don’t need a large cast or lavish set to make an impact — just truth and talent.
The layout of the set speaks volumes of creativity — portraying life and death flawlessly without ever moving a single prop. It’s a testament to thoughtful direction and design, where stillness becomes a powerful storytelling tool.
Each performer brings something special: sincerity, flair, and a deep understanding of life’s bittersweet turns. The chemistry between the leads feels effortless, drawing the audience into their shared history of love, loss, and renewal.
If you think growing older means letting go of joy or adventure, this play will prove otherwise. The Cemetery Club celebrates the courage to live, to love, and to laugh again — even after heartbreak. It reminds us to hold close the people and memories that shape us, while still finding reasons to dance and dream.
Touching, funny, and profoundly relatable, The Cemetery Club is a gem of a production — the kind of show that leaves you reflecting long after the final bow.
Performed by The Company theatre at the Rose Centre, directed by Kathy Gent featuring an exceptional cast who brought warmth, humour, and humanity to every moment. A standing ovation to the entire team for presenting such an honest and heartfelt piece of theatre that truly connects with audiences across generations. - Chirag & Rupal Solanki (TheatreWorks)
The Cemetery Club is performed at The Rose Centre, School Road, Belmont 8-22 November with tickets available from www.iticket.co.nz...
