Answer

Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that nylon carpet has been installed in 1,977 existing homes from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 and in 5,330 existing homes in the 2024/25 financial year. These figures include all installations in existing homes for maintenance. This means everything from a patch repair to whole house recarpeting but excludes the Retrofit Programme. Kāinga Ora does not hold centralised records of the carpet used in Retrofits.
