When our technicians attend your property:

You may not realize but much of our work is external, on the exterior perimeter of your property and on roofs. In fact, 99% of our work can be completed without anyone ever entering your home, therefore we will be avoiding entering your home unless it is absolutely necessary. Our technicians will assess any risks and we ask for patience under current circumstances. Furthermore, we ask that you disclose the following information and also adhere to safe Covid protocols prior and during our attendance:

  • If you are unwell with flu-like symptoms such as fever, breathing difficulties, cough or fatigue.
  • Recently been in contact with someone diagnosed with Coronavirus
  • Recently been overseas.
  • Wear a mask when our technician is in attendance.
  • Keep social distance of 1.5m

In these instances, we may be able to make alternate arrangements for access or reschedule to a later date. The health and well being of everyone is our main concern and our objective is to remain vigilant in upholding safe practices. Your assistance is vital in ensuring that we all remain well and healthy.
