Calling all tilers, DIY enthusiasts and general hoarders. Looking for non-slip outdoor tiles in whites, beige, greige and light colour ways and happy taking damaged
/ broken and random quantities!

Have a project coming up (see pic for idea and attention!) that I’m keen to give a bash whilst saving some more stuff from going to landfill - the cheaper or free-er the better but totally open to a haggle and some $! I know we for one have a box or so left over from a backsplash as recommendation is to buy for wastage lest any break, so hoping for some luck!

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
