Covid-19
We hope you and your loved ones have been managing well through all the challenges of Covid-19 and life in lockdown.
Following the government's announcement that New Zealand will be moving to alert level 3, we are pleased to be able to take bookings for building inspections once again.
Building inspections can be carried out at Alert Level 3 and we will adhere to the following health and safety procedures designed to reduce the risks associated with possible transmission of Covid-19, as well to ensure the safety of my clients and ourselves:
- No other persons are to be present inside the building while the inspection is taking place
- Confirmation will be sought that no one residing in the property is currently in isolation due to Covid-19; has been in contact with anyone diagnosed with Covid-19; or has been unwell with flu like symptoms in the last two weeks.
- I will not carry out inspections if I, or any of my close contacts, have been in contact with anyone diagnosed with Covid-19 or have been unwell with flu-like symptoms in the last two weeks.
- Whenever possible access to the property will avoid face to face contact i.e. Picking up keys and dropping them back from a mutually agreed location. If there is a requirement to meet someone on site in order to gain access, a minimum distance of 2-metres will be maintained at all times.
- Personal Protection Equipment will be worn during the inspection including disposable gloves, mask and overalls. All PPE gear will be removed and placed in a sealed bag when exiting the property.
- All tools (including cameras, moisture meters, ladders) will be sanitised when exiting the property.
- Hands will be sanitised immediately before and after inspection.
- While there is a need to touch some areas of the property (taps, light switches, door and window handles, outside cladding) in order to carry out a thorough inspection, this will be kept to a minimum and done with the utmost care.
If you require further information, or would like to book an inspection, please contact me by email jase@blackpeak.net.nz or phone 021 688 748.
