Are window cleaners still allowed to work during Coronavirus (Covid-19)?

[Ashley Brown]

After the latest announcement are you still allowed  to go out  clean windows ,wfp thanks 

 

[Pjj]

We could manage for  6 months without working dont want to but can if push comes to shove ,

I think even i have to agree now. Our suppliers will be closing im 99% certain. No resin, backpacks, no van system repairs, etc etc. Not to mention the risk of a hefty fine we could do without. Currently asking around to see what other businesses of the same nature are doing but i think its safe to say we will be taking an enforced breather for 3 weeks

They’ve just said on the bbc news channel that there is a list of key workers that was released a couple of days ago. If your job is not on there, which it isn’t, then we’re not working I’m afraid.

I agree.

As much as I’ve got some good jobs booked in for the next couple of weeks, they’ll have to be rearranged for when we’re allowed to be able to work.

Well?

 

[RWCleaning]

By going to work and not talking to more than one customer at once, we aren’t breaking b any laws. Seems black & white to me.

Think anyone with 3 in the van you’ll probably have to keep one at home

He Said you can travel to and from work if necessary..? Well it’s necessary I earn a living because the government are not really helping the self employed.

 

[JM Cleaning]

Exactly what I came on here to ask! I feel like we are not a risk as we don’t have to come into contact with anyone with the correct precautions in place  but at the same time I feel like we’d potentially be made to feel very uncomfortable if our in the street. I’m at a loss! 

 

[wezza13]

Unfortunately, our job is not essential. That’s the key thing here.

They just said on bbc news that if your job isn’t on the government’s list of key workers, then you’re to stay at home.

No travel to work is only for key workers we are NOT key workers , dirty windows is hardly life threatening 

 

[Jase2k2k]

I'm trying to figure out how this will effect me. I can put things in place not to have any contact with customers. But I need to work...they are not supporting self employed! So can I work?

I never heard him say that at all. I’m working!

We’re not meant to be mixing with anyone other than our immediate family i.e. people we live with

Get ready for a big fine then ??

2 in the van isn't permitted either unless you live in the same household

It’s not transparent enough. 

 

[Jase2k2k]

I'm confused! I can distance from all customers, put things in place. They are not supporting self employed. I need to work! As a family been isolating and distancing. Can I work?

 

[Suhrly]

Couple of weeks off it is then. Can finally watch The Irishman! ?

You'll need more than 2 weeks to watch that ?

 

[Markyboy 50]

Looks like I will have to go up the road for a few weeks in the lorry now. Either that or sit with the missus ?
