Completed exterior weather boards and facia

Nicole from Kevin Steel Painters & Decorators

These exterior weatherboarda were in pretty bad condition, not having any work done on them in 20+ years. The paint had peeled right off the weather boards. Pur process includes sanding, sealing/undercoating, filling, under coating filler, then finishing off with two top coats of the chosen colour.… View moreThese exterior weatherboarda were in pretty bad condition, not having any work done on them in 20+ years. The paint had peeled right off the weather boards. Pur process includes sanding, sealing/undercoating, filling, under coating filler, then finishing off with two top coats of the chosen colour. Sanding in between all coats is essential as it gives us a smooth surface to work with.

Hard work in the hot weather but a bonus is that everything dries very quickly and we are able to get the job done quickly.

Take advantage of the hot weather if you are looking to have your exterior spruced up 😊

Want a Slice of Convenience?

Mainland NZ

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.

Your Consumer Rights

We are often asked to advise on disputes over consumer goods such as costly electronic items, household furniture and sports equipment. Helpfully we usually can say that our clients have more rights than they are lead to believe by the retailers they're dealing with.

The Consumer Guarantees Act for example provides rights and guarantees for you as a consumer when purchasing goods or services for your personal and household use. It applies to any retail sale of goods or services, but not private sales.

That Act gives a number of guarantees about the ownership, delivery and purpose of a product, but it’s more commonly used as protection and a sword when goods aren’t of an acceptable quality or they are not fit for their intended purpose.

Generally, goods are of an acceptable quality where they are fit for the purpose for which they are typically supplied for, free from defects and are safe and durable. This test is assessed on the basis of what a reasonable consumer, being aware of the state and condition of the goods, would consider as acceptable. Things like their nature, price and any statements that are made about them on labelling are all taken into account.

If what you’ve bought doesn’t meet the above requirements, you can insist that the retailer fix the fault. If they don’t, you can then have it remedied elsewhere or reject the goods and get your money back.

Where the fault can’t be remedied or it's substantial, you can however reject the goods straight away.

To give an example, should you purchase a TV that is advertised as having 3 HDMI cable ports but only 2 ports work, or the retailer tells you it has a Netflix remote button and it doesn’t work, you can return the TV to the retailer within a reasonable time of the purchase. The retailer has to fix it at their cost or give you your money back.

If you would like further information on your rights as consumer, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

Call or email Richard Hearn for more information.

Bottling expansion could see 9 billion litres of pristine Christchurch water sold overseas

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Cloud Ocean Water has bought land for a second bottling plant across the road from a factory it is developing on the site of a former wool scour.

The China-owned company could be eyeing up billions more litres of water from beneath Christchurch to bottle and sell overseas as part of a major expansion of its operations in Belfast.

At least eight bores with permission to take drinking water are on or next to the new site.

If it gains consent to use them, it could have access to another 7.5 billion litres of the city's water – five times what it can already take – for export each year.
