Window repair, reputty and repaint
Publish date: 02/12/2020We have just moved into a house that has wooden windows in various stages of disrepair/misalignment in the casements/side-hung sashes - ranging from the wood starting to split around the hinge on one window through to disintegrating putty on another.ViewWe also plan to repaint and put on new hinges and latches for all windows, so it would be great to have that also as part of the job. We believe that the frames do not need repairing but would like to repaint them as well.
Ideally we'd like this work done while the weather is dry, but we understand that summer is a time of high demand so are flexible on timing - our main goal is to get the windows repaired & repainted by May 2021.
We are keen for available joineries or building repair/maintenance specialists to inspect the windows and provide a quote. We are in Waiwhetu but will consider anyone in the Wellington Region.

Repair of detaching rimu boards glued to concrete foundation
Publish date: 01/12/2020Ten years ago (what now turns out to be) a cowboy fitted my concrete floor in the lounge, hallway and study with rimu. He glued the boards to the concrete floor in an apparently sub-standard way so that now parts of the floor are detaching, slowly since the last 3-4 years. The floor has a few layers of polyurethane on it.View
The photos just show a few of the spots. The builder who did this didn't use a glue comb but just two dots and a line in between before gluing it to the floor. Also, I believe on parts of the concrete floor there where remnants of foam of the old floor.
In my view (not being a builder), if there would be a glue thin enough to be poured under the floor boards, but thick and strong enough to glue it, that might do the trick. But obviously, I'm looking for a professional.
I like you to asses the damage and determine if there is a way to repair this.
If you are convinced this can be repaired, and you can convince me this can be done well, and the quote is right, then you have a job. -
