Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

Join the rest of the motu on October 28 by taking part in our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi, ShakeOut. Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:

DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.

COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.

Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

OUR PROCESS
• We start by soft washing the surfaces to remove all debris and contamination.
• We then apply our Protective Acrylic Coating. Using strong and eco friendly detergents it starts breaking down and removing any extra stubborn contamination left on the surface.
• During this process the protective Acrylic coating is chemically bonding to the surface to protect against further contaminants from the harsh environment. This coating acts as a barrier which stops new contamination from sticking and baking onto the surface. This allows any contamination that settles to be easily washed off by rain water or a good hose down.
• Our Engineered Acrylic Coating also protects against paint and surface damage caused by the harsh UV rays, acids in bird droppings & harmful chemicals transported during bad weather such as storms or heavy winds & rain.

If you would like to know more please contact me for a free, no obligation quote and check our Facebook page for the many posts with videos showing us in action, including before and after photos of our work so you can see our amazing property transformations in action.

The people who live in Ryman villages remain true to themselves, whether that’s continuing with their passion, making the most of every minute, challenging themselves to learn something new, or surrounding themselves with people who like to have fun.
As Lynette, a resident at Edmund Hilary village, says “A lot of people still believe that you're going to a rest home. They don't know the concept of a retirement village. You go there, it's beautiful. You've got facilities. You've got activities. And you don't stop living.”
Retirement is a chapter of life that’s filled with possibility. Choose the lifestyle you want to live and proudly embrace every opportunity. It’s what Ryman residents do.
