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!

Unwanted medals

Giulia from Newtown

Hello neighbours,

I have a few medals that I no longer want, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what to do with them apart from recycling them/where to donate them/or if anybody wants them (after lockdown)?
Cheers and hope everyone is well and 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!

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.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.
