Updated 05.01.2021

 

 

Following on from the Governments latest National Lockdown news, we would like to advise that we will continue to work, following the guidance set out by the UK Government. 

We have set in place stringent social distancing measures, including compulsory face coverings if within 2 metres of each other, and a regular cleaning regime. We have installed sanitizer points throughout the building, and everyone is encouraged to regularly clean their hands throughout the day. We have also paid for all our members of staff to have private Covid-19 tests after the Christmas break, to minimize any risks. 

Our staff will come to work only if they are asymptomatic. They have been advised to take their temperature each morning before leaving the house. If it is elevated and/or they have any other relevant symptoms, they will self-isolate for the required number of days stated by the Government, and seek to have a test. 

When the team are working on-site they will wear appropriate masks and will have effective hand disinfectant equipment, which they have been trained to use correctly. 

In order to keep everyone safe, if you wish to visit our workshop/office, please contact us beforehand – calling 01225 789978 or emailing office@englishoakbuildings.com. When visiting, please adhere to social distancing rules, wear a mask and use the hand sanitizer provided. Where possible, all meetings will be held in well ventilated areas.

We are following all Government recommendations regarding social distancing and cleanliness, including a regular cleaning rota for all communal areas. We have installed sanitizer points throughout the building, and everyone is encouraged to regularly clean their hands throughout the day.

Following the Government advice to manufacturers, we are planning to resume production in our workshop, week commencing 20.04.2020. To maintain social distancing our office staff will remain working from home, continuing to design and support our customers and timber framers. 

We have set in place stringent social distancing measures and a regular cleaning regime throughout the working day. Our staff will come to work only if they are asymptomatic. They have been advised to take their temperature each morning before leaving the house. If it is elevated and/or they have any other relevant symptoms, they will self-isolate for the required number of days stated by the Government, and seek to have a test.
