Swimming Pools

Susan from Ilam

We have made the big transition from swimming pool to filled in post-pool. We would like to sell the automatic chemical regulator (Chemigem), pool equipment, cover, and chemicals.

We would like to sell the automatic chemical regulator (Chemigem), pool equipment, cover, and chemicals. A pool contractor could extract the equipment and install it at a fraction of the price of new. If you don't have a cover for your pool - it makes a big difference collecting solar energy during the day, reducing evaporation, and retaining heat at night.
Mostly we would like to re-home the cover, vacuum, chemicals. But on the off chance someone can extract the pool equipment we'd like to hear from you.

Police are being called to Christchurch’s bus interchange at least once a day, new data shows.

Terry Hao, owner of the Muffin Break inside the interchange, said police used to be there “pretty much every day”, but the situation had been improving since the Christchurch City Council became the owner in 2019. “It's a lot safer now.”

Hao said the police often came to see if there was any trouble with kids and teenagers congregating.

A council spokesman said “alternative solutions” were being offered to people who congregate at the interchange but do not use the buses. Read more here.

Thanks to the brave and quick actions of these members of the public (pictured centre and centre right) – an offender who was trying to make a getaway after stealing money from a Henderson dairy was stopped and swiftly arrested. 👏

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.

He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.

Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.

He was then arrested and taken into custody.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.

The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.

A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

Need Are your windows hard to open?

Hi neighbours,

Have you noticed that your windows are stiff, or the handle is a bit loose?
Depending on age, quality and probably a little bit determined by luck, different parts of a window can’t work anymore:

• Locking pins no longer lock exactly
• Window handle is difficult or difficult to turn
• Window sash does not fit properly in the frame (must be lifted or pushed in)
• Window handle wobbles

If you have windows that are stiff to open or close or leave big draught gaps give us a call on 0800 25 25 00 for a free estimate.
Hinges can easily be replaced without worrying about the cost of replacing the whole window.

The Exceed we fix windows & doors team :)
