GGF Launches Safe Guide for Homeowners

GGF Launches Safe Guide for Homeowners

The GGF is pleased to announce the launch of a much-needed consumer publication titled, “The Safe Guide for Homeowners – employing a glazing company to improve your home during the COVID-19 crisis”

The Safe Guide has been produced to reassure homeowners that their safety is paramount when using a GGF Member company. The Safe Guide highlights that any work being undertaken must consider, as a priority, the Government and Public Health England guidance.  The Safe Guide also includes the many reasonable measures that must be taken by home improvement companies when working in people’s homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

John Agnew, GGF Managing Director commented, “In these difficult times, it is important the GGF supports its Members more than ever to ensure that any work undertaken is done safely and in line with the latest Government guidance. I advise all home improvement Members, to provide their customers and potential customers with this new Safe Guide to offer them greater reassurance if essential work is being carried out in their home during this pandemic.”       

Due to the likelihood of change in the guidance and legislation during the COVID-19 crisis, this Safe Guide for Homeowners will be in digital format only and will be available for download from both GGF websites – the trade site www.ggf.org.uk and the GGF’s consumer advice site www.myglazing.com.

The GGF is aiming to launch a “Safe Guide for Tradespeople in Domestic properties” next week to complement this new homeowner guide.
