5 sleeps to Christmas!

We wish you a safe and happy holiday season. In our last edition for this year, how to make this a greener Christmas; fire-retardant housepaint; and the Colour of the Year 2025

What a fantastic day!

We had an absolute blast at the Waterman Property Advocates Christmas lunch at the beautiful Club De Pétanque D’Adelaide!

Amazing food, wonderful company, and plenty of laughs (and maybe a little friendly pétanque competition).

So grateful for our incredible team and all we’ve achieved this year. Here’s to celebrating success and looking forward to an even bigger 2025!

Killing them en masse is not really an option. But they can be deterred by scent, so we take a look at common household items that will deter ants without impacting your family’s enjoyment of the space.
