Covid-19 service information

When reporting any repair

If you have previously reported a repair or if you are reporting a repair for the first time, you will be asked by the repairs administrators to confirm:

• No one in your home is isolating due to Covid-19 symptoms, is shielding or is in any of the vulnerable categories. Your response this will determine if/when your repair can take place and the staff will explain this to you during the call.
• You agree to have operatives working in your home. If you don’t want this, we will ask you to call back when you are happy for the repair to take place.

What you need to do

When our operatives are working in your home, everyone in the household must:

• Stay in another room from the operative for the duration of the visit.
• Open windows throughout the property to ensure the property is well-ventilated while the operative is in your home.
• Where this is not possible, for example where you and the operative need to discuss the purpose of the visit, this must be done from a minimum of 2m distance and for as short a time as possible.

What we will do

While our operatives are in your property, they will:

• Practice good hand hygiene and wear appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) if required.
• Always maintain appropriate social distance.
• Clean down all areas where they have been working.
