Covid-19 Update
Hi everyone, we are continuing to run an on-call service for the next 4 weeks while in lockdown (a list of things classed as essential will be below). I'm aware that many are feeling a financial strain at this time so, IF MONEY IS A PROBLEM PLEASE TALK TO US ABOUT OPTIONS. In what can be a scary time, having no power can amplify that feeling so please get in touch.
I would largely appreciate it if you could share this message. One of the hardest things for us is making people aware of what we do. As always, a massive thank you to our clients, it's your support that helps us give back to the community in times like this.
Our goal is to stay home as much as possible for the safety of the Kapiti community, so we may decide your problem is not essential while in lockdown. If this is the case, we can schedule you in for when we reopen. We will also be wearing a facemask and disposable gloves for our safety and yours, on arrival.
Problems that warrant a call-out:
▪️ No Hot Water
▪️ Loss of Power
▪️ Partial Loss of Power (loss of lights or loss of necessary
powerpoints)
▪️ Pump Failure
▪️ Major Oven Repairs (due to not being able to order
takeaways)
▪️ Loss of Power for Medical Equipment
▪️ Loss of Heating
Always open to a conversation if you are concerned about anything or wanting general advice on 0278414557
All the best from our family to yours,
Daniel Watson

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
