If we go to lockdown.

[Rogerf]

If the government puts us in lockdown, customers with no heating or hot water ,what are we as engineers supposed to do.
Doesn’t seem right to just say sorry but can’t attend

Go out if you want cp12s still need to be done no ifs no buts from gas safe

Which I think is right mate. We harp on about how important they are. What would it say if they said, yep, let’s defer them 3 months.

Not if but when. Midnight Wednesday once MPs and house of lords give the thumbs up.

I agree , wouldn’t sit right with me if customer was without heating or hot water or running a possible faulty gas appliance / boiler

Govt will have to allow attendance to "emergency" calls - No heating, blocked drains etc or people will start dropping from other problems...

The government has put plumbing and heating engineers as key workers so you can all work guys. You can even send your kids to school. Just got it sent to my email by a.magazine subscription.

Anyone using face masks when entering clients houses, if so, where did you get them.

Cheers

It is true that the rules don't change. But if you are SE it is NOT your problem. Will the LL support your family if the worst happens? I don't think so. Even of the HES were to look at prosecutions, it wouldn't be you they are looking at. The ONLY person with the legal responsibility is the LL, and he will have a pretty good defence. LA/HA contracting companies will have a legal obligation to the LL (the LA/HA), but they could probably claim Force Majeure.
