Keeping you safe


  • Keep children and pets away from the room where work is being done

  • Don’t touch tools and machinery

  • Take care walking across dust sheets or other trip hazards

  • If we need to turn off your electricity or gas, please leave us to turn it back on again rather than trying to do it yourself

  • If you accidentally get a product on your skin such as silicone or paint, wash it immediately with soap and water

Your checklist before we start

General

  • Clear any clutter away from areas where people will be walking in and out eg stairs, hallway.
  • The same goes for any items in your front or back garden which might get in the way.
  • Make sure you can get to a coat or warm clothes if we need to open doors and let cold in.
  • If you have a pet, arrange a safe place to keep them away from the work.

Kitchens

  • Empty your kitchen cupboards and clear the work surfaces and floor.
  • Take down curtains, blinds or pictures and remove any other fixtures and fittings on the walls.
  • Keep items that you might need throughout the day somewhere safe eg your kettle, microwave, mugs or cutlery.
  • Take out all your personal belongings such as pots and pans, garden furniture, children’s toys and anything that has sentimental value.

Rewire / central heating

  • Pack away any valuables and ornaments.
  • Take any pictures or mirrors off the walls.
  • Pull furniture away from the walls which will be affected.
  • Pull carpets or rugs away from the walls too.

Bathrooms

  • Remove any blinds, shower screens, towel rails, hooks or light pulls that you want to keep.
  • Take down the bathroom cabinet or mirror if you want to keep it, otherwise we will take it away.
