Plumbing or electrical issues are quite common. Unfortunately, you can’t choose a whole lot of what happens to you. And when it happens. Having a misbehaving boiler or shower, a broken kitchen appliance or electrical problems could be very serious, given the current coronavirus outbreak and the number of time people spent at home.
So, if you need some sort of repair and you want to know if tradesmen are working during the national lockdown, read on!
Yes, tradespeople, such as handymen, plumbers and electricians, are allowed to visit your house during all four tiers of lockdown. The latest official guidance issued by the Government explains what businesses need to do to protect staff and customers.
In a previous official article, the British Government announced that:
You are a tradesperson carrying out essential repairs and maintenance in people’s homes, or are carrying out other work in a home such as cleaning or paid-for childcare in a child’s home. You can continue work, providing that you are well and have no symptoms. No work should be carried out by a tradesperson, cleaner or nanny who has coronavirus symptoms, however mild, or when someone in their own household has symptoms.
In the UK, most of the service providers are currently operating, despite the crisis. We cannot guarantee that each company provides its services safely. However, we can ensure that we follow all guidelines for sanitisation, cleanliness, and precaution, provided by the WHO, NHS and CDC. Also, apart from all official guidelines, we’ve implemented even more restrictions and rules that are strictly followed by all Fantastic Services technicians.
Find a professional to take care of your property.
One thing is for sure – you need to be very careful when choosing a company to fix your boiler or light switch.
During the coronavirus outbreak, you have to keep yourself and the people around you safe and healthy. Our advice is to always make sure that the company you book follows all Public Health England guidelines, including maintaining a two-metre distance from any household occupants to ensure everyone’s safety.
Unfortunately, we think that this is not enough. There are many additional measures to consider when allowing a stranger to visit your home during a lockdown. Read on and find out what we did, in order to keep you and our teams safe.
As one of the largest service providers in the UK, we strive to help you go through this as safely as possible. That’s why we developed a strict safety guide for all the team members. We are closely monitoring the official guidance updates from the NHS, the British Government and WHO, but we’ve also imposed far-reaching restrictions on the pros.
Each technician is required to wear protective gear (masks, gloves, overshoes), to sanitise their equipment, tools, and to follow all our safety measures. This way, we can safely deliver tradesmen, gardening, pest control and other maintenance services.
We continue to deliver handyman, plumbing and electrical services during these tough times. Our purpose has always been to make you happy and we are hoping that we’ll be able to make your life a little easier by offering our services in the safest way possible.

We advise you to only book a plumbing or heating engineer for work that is essential.
But what’s essential?
Taps, toilets, showers, baths, pipes, faulty boilers, and all work to maintain uninterrupted freshwater supply. Maintaining hot water supply, heating and disposal of sewage and wastewater are very important throughout the COVID-19 lockdown. In addition, any gas heating fault that could pose risk to your health also calls for hiring an emergency plumbing repair specialist.
The problems we can solve during these difficult times include:
With waterworks staff being at home, it’s vital we join together to help reduce the wastage of fresh clean water and decrease the strain on the water providers.
If you face electricity issues or your kitchen appliance needs repair, you shouldn’t be dealing with such repairs by yourself. It could be very dangerous. That’s why our advice is to leave your problems in the hands of the professionals.
