COVID-19 Update

Update 10 January 2022

Given the escalation of COVID in the community, we would like to let you know that we are open for business as usual and update you on how we are continuing to keep our customers and staff safe.

Before our technicians enter your home or business premises, they will check with you that there are no active COVID cases nor anyone in isolation. We would already have asked this question, but that could have changed since we confirmed the job.

Our technicians wear masks and gloves when interacting with you onsite, when carrying out any internal work, and at any time where they cannot physically distance.

There is minimal contact in our warehouse and office. At the moment, any of our Admin staff who can work from home are currently working from home. During this difficult period, our Field Team come into the warehouse only when they need to replenish supplies and when they do, they wear masks and sanitise their hands before entering the premises.

Check out our COVID video on this page or speak to one of our friendly team for more information.

•  No hand shakes (although a friendly nod is AOK with us)
• Ensuring at least a 1.5 metre social distance is observed at all times
• Implementation of a no cash/cheque policy &require all payments to now be made by card or direct transfer (EFT)
