A+ Services NZ Ltd is a multi-trade building maintenance company serving homes and businesses across Timaru, Christchurch, greater Canterbury, and Otago. Founded in 2009 by Les Ryan, the company grew from a personal conviction: spotlessly clean windows and well-maintained premises make a tangible difference to any property — an insight Les carried from his previous businesses into a dedicated service operation that has expanded steadily for over a decade.
The team handles an unusually wide range of exterior and interior maintenance tasks under a single roof. Residential customers can bundle window cleaning, carpet cleaning, spider proofing, house washing, gutter clearing, moss and lichen spraying, domestic cleaning, and meth testing and decontamination into one visit. Commercial clients rely on A+ for regular office cleaning, building washes, commercial pest control, and gutter maintenance that keeps premises safe and presentable without the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.
A+ Services holds a SiteWise Gold 2025 health and safety accreditation and has been recognised as the #1 Most Popular Home Improvement Specialist in the Timaru region by HomeImprovement2day for three consecutive years — 2021, 2022, and 2023.

When Les Ryan founded A+ Services NZ back in 2009, he did so with a clear conviction: spotlessly clean windows and well-maintained premises make a genuine difference to any home or business. Having seen that impact firsthand across his previous ventures, he built a company around it — and over fifteen years later, A+ Services has grown into one of the most trusted building maintenance providers across Timaru, Christchurch, Otago, and the wider Canterbury region.
What sets A+ Services apart is the sheer breadth of what they do. Most property owners deal with a rotating cast of contractors — one for windows, another for gutters, someone else for pests. A+ Services handles all of it. Their residential offering spans window cleaning (inside and out), house washing, gutter cleaning via suction (so no mess), gutter washing, carpet and upholstery cleaning, domestic cleaning, spider proofing, mice and rat treatment, fly and cluster fly control, moss and lichen spraying, and even meth testing and decontamination.
On the commercial side, businesses across Canterbury rely on them for office cleaning, commercial building washes, window cleaning, pest control, carpet cleaning, and gutter maintenance. The same team, the same standards, scaled up for commercial premises.
Clients frequently comment on how much they appreciate getting everything done in a single visit. One reviewer, April Yip, noted that the team handled spider proofing, carpet cleaning, interior and exterior window cleaning, spouting, and shower rooms all in one day — leaving her home looking like a new building.
A+ Services has been recognised as the **#1 Most Popular Home Improvement Specialist in the Timaru Region** on HomeImprovement2day for three consecutive years — 2021, 2022, and 2023. They also hold a **SiteWise Gold rating for 2025**, a health and safety accreditation that signals professional, compliant operations to commercial clients.
These aren't self-awarded badges. They reflect consistent customer satisfaction across hundreds of jobs, backed by reviews that highlight professionalism, fair pricing, and reliability. Ross Polson described the experience as having "great communication and appropriate scheduling... excellent prices — all round very pleasing process and result."
Les Ryan leads the team from the front — customers mention him by name in reviews, praising his honesty and efficiency even in stressful situations. The company's stated ethos is direct: "We run towards the problems, not away from them." That attitude shows up in how they handle difficult access windows, urgent pest situations, and multi-service jobs that other contractors would split across multiple visits.
With over a decade of experience serving homes and businesses from Timaru to Christchurch and across into Otago, A+ Services brings a local operator's knowledge of the region's conditions — the damp that encourages moss, the pests common to Canterbury properties, the gutter systems that clog with autumn leaves — combined with a professional, friendly approach that keeps customers coming back.
