When Boris Johnson announced a new national lockdown on January 4th, modeled on that of last March, residents of England speculated about the availability of their artisans, who certainly cannot work from home.
Get rid of the stress – it's all good news because anyone who can't work effectively from home is actually allowed to go into other people's homes to do the same. Our team of general contractors, decorators, electricians, plumbers and carpenters can assist you with any repairs and / or renovations you may need to your home. However, it is not without limitations that we must undoubtedly respect and warn our customers about.
As much as our CRB-approved craftsmen love to catch up with their friendly customers, the law states that they are not allowed to communicate with residents of the house they are in before doing any work, as this will help limit personal contact . Surfaces that have been touched must also be wiped down, and for customers who have symptoms or who have tested positive for the coronavirus, tradesmen are not allowed to enter the self-isolation area.
Our teams will also be aware of two meter social distancing measures as well as wearing PPE, including face masks. They will wash their hands regularly for the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice (this is usually in their head but can be performed aloud for clients celebrating their big day from home) , and they dispose of their own paper towels off the property.
If you are concerned about craftsmen coming to your home in large and constantly changing teams, we promise that each project will be assigned certain members with a limited number. You can expect them to work side by side or back to back rather than face to face.
Unfortunately, all work that is not considered urgent and cannot be carried out in accordance with the guidelines will be postponed. Craftsmen who fall into the "at risk" category will not work either. So please don't be too disappointed if another Handy Squad member arrives on your doorstep – you will soon know them just as well!
