We're on our way to Christchurch
Hi this is my first post.
My OH has just been offered a Nursing job in Christchurch, and we are coming out in June. We have been to Christchurch before in 2003 but had to return home due to family ( I was gutted
). This time its permanent
.
The reason for this post is that in the UK I have been self employed for 5 years fitting kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and general property maintenance. I would love to continue doing this in NZ. Anybody need any work done
or know of any firms that may take me on.
Thanks

not sure how much hiring is going on at the mo. new build work is quite quiet at the mo although renovations and refits seem to be doing OK.
we're having work done on our place at the mo so could have a chat with our builder see if he knows of anywhere, we also have a friend who is a tiler - we'll ask him but you may find it a bit difficult.
Cheers

Re: We're on our way to Christchurch
It may be possible for you to continue some of this type of work. Perhaps familiarise yourself with the NZ building code to see what you would be able to work at or contact the master builders association to find out what is allowable and what would nned to be signed off by a craftsman tradesman.
You may or may not know that you cannot touch plumbing or electrical work as part of such a business . You will need licensed plumbers/gasfitters and sparkies for that. This applies to new fits, retro fits and general maintenance as far as I know.

Re: We're on our way to Christchurch
Hi, and welcome. Another CHCH forumite here.
Congrats on the job offer, although can't help wth the building / maintenance work I'm afraid. Shirl might be along later (or drop her a PM), as her hubby is in the building trade and might be able to offer you some advice,
All the best, but don't forget to bring your woolies as it will be cold in June (so they tell me as we've not done a Christchurch winter yet ourselves),
