Hi all, just a reminder to you all. As gutters are an essential part of your home we are still able to unblock and flush the spouting under the lockdown. If the rain is affecting your home please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hi all, just a reminder to you all. As gutters are an essential part of your home we are still able to unblock and flush the spouting under the lockdown. If the rain is affecting your home please don't hesitate to get in touch.

No face to face contact is required. Just a phone call or email and then online payment once the job is complete.

If it can wait till after the lockdown then great but if they are in desperate need of clearing then give us a call.

Stay safe!

With the evenings getting cooler, we have had a number of enquiries regarding chimney cleaning during the Level 4 Covid 19 Lockdown. Fire and Emergency NZ has received an update regarding chimney sweepers being essential service for health and safety reasons.

Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.

If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?

If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!

Hi Neighbours!

I am creating a care package to donate to the Wellington Woman’s Refuge.

All around New Zealand women are affected by domestic violence and seek protection at women’s shelters. They are provided with food, shelter, warmth and much more. But some things are harder to access than others.

Personal beauty products can help boost their self confidence and wellbeing.

It would mean a great deal to me and i’m sure the women in these shelters if you could take some time out of your day at your next supermarket or chemist trip to pick up a few of the following items.
⁃ face moisturiser
⁃ cleanser
⁃ facial wipes
Anything in this category would be of great help.

I will sort out a pick-up or drop-off plan if you could get back to me asap so I can collect your donations!

This could really make an impact to these woman’s wellbeing, so would be amazing if you could help out. Or forward this message to someone you know might be interested in helping out! Thanks in advance!

I’m proud to have served our country, and I’m proud to be backing the RSA's call to #StandAtDawn.

Instead of attending a dawn service, we are encouraging all New Zealanders to go down to their gates (or whatever you can do safely with the current rules) and stand and observe one minute’s silence at 6am. I encourage all New Zealanders to get behind this idea, while still abiding by the lockdown rules.

This Anzac Day, we as a nation can #StandAtDawn to show how united and strong we are in the face of the situation we are up against.

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.
