LETTER TO THE EDITOR
‘A confusing and
chaotic time’
Over the past two weeks, with
Government encouragement, the
construction industry has started to return
safely to work. A survey by Build UK (29
April) of major contractors reported
close to 70% of sites were back at work.
Most major housebuilders, plumbers’
and builders’ merchants and DIY and
hardware stores have either re-opened or
have announced plans to reopen soon.
» WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
put the UK into lockdown on
23 March, it had no intention of
shutting down construction, but
a week or so later it was alarmed
to discover that most of it had
closed down. It was a confusing
and chaotic time. Government
communications were unclear so
when people saw others close
down, they closed too. Asked to
make Government intentions
clear, Alok Sharma, Secretary of
State for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy wrote to
reassure the construction industry
that it was essential, and that
those unable to work from home
could continue to work, operating
safely with industry site operating
procedures and guidance.
“Whether by building
temporary hospital wards…
constructing the infrastructure
society needs to function or
ensuring that people have safe
and healthy homes to live in, you
are delivering for our Nation
through this difficult time,” he
said.
The return to work will not
be business as usual. We need
sensible precautions like regular

factories to help your employees with simple
instructions to keep them safe.

when we shop in Tesco or collect

The GGF issued sensible
guidance last week (28 April)
stressing that in accordance
with government guidelines,
installers can continue to work
in homeowners’ properties
provided they take relevant
precautions. GGF Managing

manufacturers

can reduce
the spread of

to work to the Government and
Public Health England guidance,

A number of Deceuninck
fabricators who are taking
sensible precautions have
resumed operations to fulfil
existing contracts and new
enquiries. Some have fabricated
and installed windows for the
new Nightingale Hospitals.
We will be supplying PPE kit
to Deceuninck fabricators and
we’ve issued practical advice
and guidelines to fabricators and
installers in a leaflet and series of
‘We are unlikely
to return to
the old normal
anytime soon’
posters to help customers work
safely in factories, offices and
customer homes. The posters
can be obtained free at shorturl.

We are unlikely to return to
the old normal anytime soon,
and window fabricators and
installers are having to learn
how to operate safely in the new
normal, the world as it is. They’ll
play a critical part in getting the
economy safely back on its feet.
