Scarifier/lawn dethatcher

Chris from Bishopdale

Hi, I've got a very small lawn and want to scarify it but hire companies' prices are very high even for a half day. Just wondered if someone could hire me one at a cheap price, probably wouldn't take more than an hour! Many thanks.

Hi neighbours,

Please be aware we have some nice individuals in our neighbourhood that don’t feel the need to work for their stuff and entitled to steal ours. Our car has been broken into today in broad daylight - luckily not much taken but we did have a bag in sight - luckily they will be very disappointed with the paper inside!!!

Keep safe and look out for your neighbours

Start the new year off FRESH!

Stephen from Master Multi-Tasker - Christchurch Handyman Services

Wow... 2020. What a year. I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected in some way by the global pandemic. I certainly could never have predicted that my own life would change so dramatically.

But, here we are - doing our best to thrive in what is a very different world.

Wow... 2020. What a year. I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected in some way by the global pandemic. I certainly could never have predicted that my own life would change so dramatically.

But, here we are - doing our best to thrive in what is a very different world.

I hope you've all stayed safe and well and that 2021 will be kinder to us all.

With that in mind, let me help you tidy up all those loose ends from 2020 and get those odd jobs at your place completed so you can start the new year fresh. I know how tough it can be to get help at this time of year, so I'm available throughout the holidays - please just give me a call or text if you have anything you need a hand with.

Happy New Year, Neighbours... we're almost there!

Cheers,

Steve
