Urgent assessment needed for badly installed uPVC windows

Susan from Mount Albert

Hi Neighbours,

I have a property that has had uPVC windows retro-fitted, however the double glazing and fitting company have done the most atrocious job.

After chasing them around they finally came to visit, and on the first visit, admitted rather reluctantly that this needed some remediation.
A second visit had them advising that they would fix it, but three weeks later they have still not advised how, when etc. I'm now wondering if indeed they ever will.

What I need is someone who can assess and advise what work needs to be done as it needs to be fixed and I cannot find anyone able to provide the right advise or direction on how to get this done.

Any advise would be fantastic!

Thanks, Susan

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
