Can I Have Decorators In During Lockdown

The UK government has announced a new lockdown in response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases. The lockdown will come into effect on 5th November and will last for at least four weeks. During this time, all non-essential businesses will be closed, including hairdressers, beauty salons, and homeware stores. So, can you have decorators in during lockdown?

The answer is yes, you can have decorators in during lockdown. However, there are some strict rules that must be followed to ensure the safety of both the decorators and the householders. These rules include:

All decorators must wear face masks at all times.
Decorators must maintain a social distance of at least 2 meters from householders at all times.
Householders must not be present in the room where the decorators are working.
All surfaces that the decorators have come into contact with must be cleaned and disinfected after they have left.

In addition to these rules, it is also important to keep the following in mind:

If you or anyone in your household is showing symptoms of COVID-19, you must cancel your appointment with the decorators.
If you are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, you should consider postponing your decorating project until after the lockdown has ended.
You should only hire decorators who are reputable and who have a good track record of following safety guidelines.

By following these rules and guidelines, you can help to ensure that your decorating project is completed safely and without putting anyone at risk.
