Roofer and builder needed - Urgent

Hi all,
I have an urgent roofing and building problem. While away up north, one of my carpeted rooms flooded from what appears to be an internal gutter overflowing/leaking and the water travelling down within the house wall and existing on the carpet. It is not obvious where the leak is up above.

I have tried ringing many roofers but none reply, others haven't turned up and the closest I can get anyone to do an inspection is the end of January! The carpet has been dried by Jaes but that will not fix the causal problem - the wall is still showing moisture.
Even the insurance company has no recommendations.

I need a roofer and probably a builder to take the room lining down and probably replace the gutter.

Recommendations please preferably before the next downpour!

Thanks,
Diana

More than 15,000 properties could face a rates rise of at least 35 per cent under Auckland Council plans to boost revenue.

The biggest boost of $28 million would come from a higher rating on land zoned as residential, commercial or industrial which is either vacant or undeveloped.

Council officials estimated 15,500 homes could see their rates rise at least 35 per cent under the plan, with 1,400 business properties facing rises starting at 82 per cent.

The proposal is part of a range of potential tweaks, including a new rate to fund investments to tackle climate change and one to help affordable housing initiatives.

Please type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in our conversations section of the community paper.

Hi neighbours,

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.

The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.

The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.

All seven council-owned splashpads across Tāmaki Makaurau will be open over the summer, despite water restrictions in place due to the drought.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.

The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.
