They have implemented several safety measures to protect both customers and staff so that installers remain safe while whilst visiting their local branch.
Such measures include hand sanitiser stations, screens at the counters and limiting the number of installers allowed at the trade counter at any given time and also permanently removing the need for customers to sign on glass.
In addition to this, Wolseley has produced a number of helpful guides to help installers and business owners return to work as safely and efficiently as possible and aiding them in mitigating the risks of infection.
These guidelines cover everything from getting back to work in customers’’ homes and the latest advice on managing legionella risks. All guides are due to be available in digital format from July 1st.
Richard Harvey, Commercial Director for Plumbing and Heating at Wolseley, said: “As lockdown restrictions are eased, we understand many customers are concerned about their safety, as well as the security of their businesses as the financial impacts of COVID-19 on our industry are realised.
“Whether customers have worked throughout the pandemic or whether they have only recently returned to trading, we will do all we can to support them on the road back to normality.
“With so many messages out there, we’ve funnelled this information to create a suite of business advice guides that combine the latest information from the government and trade bodies to make it easier in understanding the ever-changing landscape and the support available to them, pointing out quickly and easily where they can find official guidance.”
