Welcome to Home & Services — who do you call?

The aircon is dripping, the roof leaks every time it rains, and the plumber who promised to come on Tuesday never did. Every household has a story like this, and most of the answers are one good referral away.

Use this board to:

• Ask for recommendations: say what needs doing and roughly where you are
• Share who did a good job, and what they charged, so others know what's fair
• Warn about bad experiences, sticking to what happened
• Swap DIY fixes for the jobs you don't need to pay someone for

If a business you recommend is listed on Cebugle, link to its page so people can find it.

To start us off: what's a home repair you learned about the hard way, and who finally fixed it?
