What our Clients Say

Mike Lindsay, Director of Building & Fire Services, has been running our fire training at North Haven Hospice since the beginning of 2010. Building & Fire Services cater for all our fire training needs. Mike has also assisted in setting up and running our fire drills both at North Haven Hospice and at the Allsorts shop. Mike has generously provided this training for us free of charge. This year we also engaged Mike in specific fire training for those working in the Hospice shop. Mike has been responsive to the specific needs of our service and I would recommend others to use his company

Samantha Boyd

Kaipara and Mid North

In our industry, we need to ensure that nothing is left to chance. The team have given us top notch service in conjunction with additional hands on training where necessary. My dealings with the crew have been straight forward, no fuss… job done. Would be delighted to recommend their services to all

NDSfuel Ltd

Old Library is one of Whangarei’s heritage buildings, housing the community art centre. Being an old building that has been converted from a library, we are constantly needing to upgrade facilities and alter aging aspects of the building, all the time bearing in mind the special nature of the heritage values. Mike Lindsay, of Building & Fire Services, has been a core member of the design team, ensuring that safety aspects are fully integrated into all planning. Mike is personable, a great communicator and always ready and willing to offer sensible and meaningful advice. I don’t think I am exaggerating when I write that, without Mike and Building & Fire Services, Old Library would not be where we are today, a central and thriving part of the Whangarei community."
