Scottish lockdown and Boris addressing nation at 8pm....what does this mean?

[Dave B]

Gov.uk.. good place to find all the answers. 

 

[Nicky]

Yes window cleaners are allowed to work,

if your customers allow you to clean there windows as some people can be awkward

 

[Hyzer373]

During this lockdown? I don’t wanna get pulled over ? I have one worker who is a good friend but I’m not sure exactly what the rules are

 

[Skxawng]

The difficult thing at least for some of us is the schools shutting so I'm going to be operating under reduced hours for the next 6 weeks having to watch the little un. I'm glad I worked all last week now! 

 

[Matt-s]

We can work! if the customers have a problem with seeing us face to face they can bacs set up a direct or leave cash out in a jar no need for any contact most customers pay like this any way don’t they in my experience, recently anyway...

 

[Pjj]

Yes we can work , not sure about 2 in a van though .Gov site hasn’t been updated yet ???

 

[dazmond]

i feel sorry for some window cleaners.......some hate this job so much theyll make any excuse to have another few weeks off.....if you work on your own cleaning outside windows then you can work...this job is recession proof AND lockdown proof!we re so LUCKY!!

I guess if that person is in your support bubble & work bubble what can they say I guess

I doubt the Police would stop you in a sign written van.

If you can't keep 2m away from the other person then you should both wear masks.

That was just you ????

Lol I didn’t get stopped but know several that did , one Evan got taken to court ???

If the rules are the same as before then as long as you're not facing you don't need to and if possible drive with windows open

Hi all.

This from GOV website.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers#private-cars-and-other-vehicles
 

in the photo attached I’ve highlighted the relevant section for work.  It is allowed, with some practical guidance on some things to do to avoid any risk of transmission. For my part, I’ve had no one in my van since March.  Anyone working with me brings their own vehicle, or they don’t work- better safe than sorry.  But in principle, if no other option-then it is ok.

In the early days of the 1st lockdown, they got it wrong as Government guidance said it was legal.

I agree but it still happened and never a retraction or apology

[AW Services]

Can we work ? 

Yes, the guidelines and published rules and regs are online

Unless he lives and sleeps with you then you can.

Unfortunately he's from another family unit and its a big no.

If you test positive and vise versa you're both screwed and each family 

 

[P4dstar]

I'll be carrying on as per. We've all agreed to wear masks. Other than that its just business as usual I reckon.

I'm meant to collect my new van from Newbury this week, probably gonna do that too, it's for work at the end of the day.
