Unprofessional Insulation Company

Peter from Orakei

Hi All, just to bring to your attention a situation that recently happened to us.
We needed sound insulation to be installed in the ceiling of the unit below ours. After two site visits by Stephen from Insultech
Insulation, during which he assured us and our neighbours below us, that Insultech had successfully installed insulation in many units like ours. We booked them for a last Friday the 5th of June. The installer arrived an hour late, drilled 10 holes, 20mm in diameter, in a pefectly healthy ceiling and then concluded that the product should not be installed.
We received a refund of the deposit but also a refusal to repair or contribute to the repair of the ceiling, work requiring both a plasterer and a painter.
We would also have appreciated suggestions of other options but Stephen became defensive and rude. Communication with Insultech generally was slow, confused or non-existent.
That they don't have a list of preferred painters and plasterers after 28 years in business, and a family company at that, is also both surprising and concerning.
We wouldn't recommend Insultech to anyone.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Lost blue embossed scarf

Andrea Neighbourly Lead from St Heliers

Hi Everyone. Just on the off chance someone may have spotted my very pretty scarf/ stole, I am trying Neighbourly as a means to find it. It is a light blue colour with gold bumble bees embossed on top . It may have slipped off my shoulders without me realising. My mobile is 021-817-246 and fingers crossed it may turn up. Thank you.
