Coronavirus COVID-19

As the situation regarding COVID-19 develops, we’d like to tell you about the steps we’re taking to ensure the safety of our customers, employees, trade partners and suppliers and help prevent the spread of the virus.

We take our role in the community seriously and are following the guidance issued by the government and health authorities, and adjusting our policies and procedures in line with latest advice:

Service visits

Updated 03.04.20

As a result of the current Covid-19 emergency we have severely reduced capacity in our Field Service teams. We are prioritising their efforts to visit only the most critical consumer groups (the vulnerable, over 70s, NHS workers) and critical product categories (Washing Machines (not working) , Refrigeration, Cooking).  

As a duty of care to our customers and technicians, if anybody in a customer’s property is self-isolating as a result of Coronavirus we will be unable to visit you until the isolation period is over. This is to protect our technicians and to prevent the spread of the virus to other customers. Anyone calling our Contact Centre to book a service visit will be asked whether they (or anyone they have been in contact with) has Coronavirus symptoms or a positive test result ahead of each booking.

For service visits that can go ahead, our technicians are carrying hand sanitiser and will thoroughly wash their hands at the start and end of each visit. Before arriving at your home, the technician will call you to ensure you are still comfortable with the visit going ahead. The technician will also discuss the following requirements with you to ensure the visit can go ahead safely:

- They need to use the external door nearest to the appliance

- They must be able to wash their hands before and after carrying out the repair

- They will ask you to stay a safe distance away of at least 2-3 metres, or ideally in another room whilst the repair takes place 

- They won't ask you for a signature once the visit is completed to avoid contact

- If, at any point our technician believes that entering your home could be a risk to you, them or other customers, the visit will be aborted and rescheduled

Deliveries and installations

Updated 03.04.20

To protect the health of our drivers and support social distancing, we are now operating a one-person doorstep-only delivery service. This means:

• Our installation service is currently suspended
• Appliances can be delivered to your door or into an open garage/outhouse, but cannot be brought into your home
• If you live in an apartment, we will deliver to your apartment door if there is no additional risk from communal areas
• If you have chosen to have your appliance disposed of, we are still able to collect it but it must first be left outside the property ahead of delivery
• Please check the dimensions and weight of appliances before ordering to ensure you are able to move the appliance once it has been left at your property

We are constantly monitoring our delivery capacity and order commitment. In cases where we have reduced capacity we will prioritise delivery of the critical product categories (Washing Machines, Refrigeration, Ovens) which may result in your order being rescheduled. In this case you will be contacted by a member of our team to discuss the options available to you.

Accessories, Consumables and Spare Parts

Update 03.04.20

We are now working to a delivery timescale of at least 3 - 5 working days for order already placed for accessories, consumables and spare parts.
