We have produced a series of important documents under the collective heading of Working Safely during COVID-19 In other people’s homes.
This forms a ‘protocol’ which shall be applied until UK government guidelines inform the industry that this is no longer required.
It is our responsibility to make the following parties aware of the After Build protocol:
After Build will communicate this protocol in several ways
The After Build protocol will be the only basis upon which our team of Coordinators will organise work to be carried out inside a home. It will be made clear to all parties that where this cannot be agreed by any of the parties (Contractors are as much at risk as the Occupants of a home), then we will not be able to organise works to take place at this stage.
Responsibility
After Build will ensure that all parties shall be made aware of this protocol but ultimate responsibility to adhere to these guidelines shall rest with the parties.

Our team of Coordinators will endeavour to apply fairness and common sense throughout.

Contractor guidelines
Please rest assured that the Contractor has received guidelines from us as a condition of any home visit. It requires that they shall:

After Build are continuing to provide their service through the COVID-19 crisis. Our team are working remotely to diagnose and attend to defects, keeping customers informed and keeping contractors safe. You can find more information on our COVID-19 tab.
We know that developers are being effected and we want to be able to help. If you need urgent assistance with after care or site services, we can help.
