It is paramount that our homes are meeting the healthy homes standards, not only for ourselves but also for our Tamariki/ Mokopuna.

Ventilation - Checking to see if clients are correctly ventilating their homes.
Moisture Ingress and Drainage - Recording any damages or repairs that need to be done.

We like to meet with our clients with a follow up appointment to go over our findings and work out where we can support them to get their homes to the correct standard of healthy homes compliance.


We can also provide these client with ;

Curtains
