Is there a roofer who can donate a few hours in Newcastle?
A roofer is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 4.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia1,156 views
In October an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $950 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $200.
The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sylhet
