Need Are your windows hard to open?

Exceed - we fix windows & doors

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:

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 :)

House to Rent (still looking)

Lynda from Kaiapoi

Hiya neighbours. We are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three-bedroom home, but we could probably consider a two-bedroom providing that the garage is a double,… View moreHiya neighbours. We are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three-bedroom home, but we could probably consider a two-bedroom providing that the garage is a double, this, so that we can store our bikes, car etc and there is room enough so that I can continue working at my sign business.
We want to stay in Kaiapoi as we both like it here. A garden would be welcome as Paul has a keen interest in that.
We also have excellent references.
So if you know of anywhere that might be suitable please get in touch. Thank you to all, Lynda and Paul.😄

Rangiora Borough School principal Alan Sutton, 66, died in Ashburton on Sunday.

The school hall would be open daily from 10am till 12 noon this week, for people anyone who wished to leave flowers or messages, a school spokesperson said.

The school would hold a service to celebrate Sutton’s life in the hall on Tuesday, and the community was encouraged to come along to celebrate his life. The service would be livestreamed.
