We offer guidance and help with essential tasks like roof inspections, gutter cleaning and general repairs.
New regulations require interconnected smoke alarms by 2027. We are offering a $250 subsidy if you organise your installation with us before 30 June 2025.
Have your electrical devices (i.e. power boards, leads and small appliances) tested and tagged by our qualified electrician to ensure they’re up to safety standards. This service is offered at the Burnie Brae Centre with our next session on Friday 29 November.
