Bubbles in your house paint?

Todd from Todd's Total Property Maintenance

If you've got bubbles in your house paint, they're an easy fix if we get onto it as soon as they appear.

If you wait till the bubble cracks, inviting moisture into the wood behind the paint you'll soon start growing mold, your timber will start rotting and it's gonna cost ya!

I'm in the middle of a painting job now where the resin is seeping out of the timber knots in the hot weather which has caused this exact problem.

If you book in before Autumn sets in, we can get your painting job sorted before the weather starts getting sour.

Take care of your health, take care of your home.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
