‘ Urgent ’ work waits for no one

» ADRIENNE MINSTER , CEO OF Rated People comments on how tradespeople must keep going throughout lockdown : “ It has been a challenging year and we ’ re very thankful that no matter what , tradespeople are allowed to continue doing what is often essential and important work .
“ During the first national lockdown in March this year , we saw home improvement work decline by around 50 % across the UK . 1 This had a significant impact on tradespeople ’ s businesses and financial circumstances , until work started to pick up again .
“ Almost a quarter ( 24 %) of jobs posted on Rated People this year have been flagged as urgent by homeowners 2 , demonstrating the importance of tradespeople being available when we need them . These jobs covered essential skillsets including repairs to the gas and heating of homes , plumbing , electrical issues , and roofing . Now , in the colder , winter months , this is likely to increase further , so we are delighted that trades businesses can continue working in line with COVID-19 guidelines and support homeowners with time-sensitive work across the UK .”
