Intelligent Maintenance Take The Health And Safety Of Their Engineers And Customers Very Seriously.

As the new lockdown comes into force in England, you might be wondering what that means for tradespeople working inside your tenants homes – especially if work is due to start soon.

The government has confirmed that tradespeople can continue to enter other people’s homes to carry out work, including repairs, maintenance, and all other home improvements. Here’s all you need to know about hiring a tradesperson to work in your home safely and legally during this difficult time.

Can I still have a tradesperson inside my home in England?

Yes. Tradespeople can still work in and around your home and garden. Our contractors are following government safety advice to keep your tenant´s safe while undertaking work.

How can I stay safe while a tradesperson is working inside my home?

Before a tradesperson enters your home, chat to them about how the work will be done with social distancing and hygiene measures in mind. We require that all contractors wear masks as a minimum and they are also temperature checked and complete a health questionnaire every morning before reporting for work.

• Prepare your home by opening windows and doors to help air circulate and save them needing to touch door handles.
• Maintain a two-metre distance from the tradesperson whilst they are working.
• After they leave, disinfect any handrails and surfaces they may have come into contact with.
• Let the tradesperson know if you or another member of your household develop any coronavirus symptoms at any time, both during and after the job’s done.
