With the announcement of another lockdown beginning this Thursday, we at Martlands Skip Hire want to provide our valued customers with an update on the procedures we have implemented to ensure the safety of both our staff and clients. Following the Prime Minister’s address on Saturday and in line with the latest government COVID-19 guidance, we are pleased to confirm that we will remain open for skip hire during this four-week lockdown period.
Why Hiring a Skip Makes Sense During Lockdown
As many of us find ourselves confined to our homes once again, it’s important to consider how best to manage waste and declutter. The restrictions in place mean that leaving your house is only permitted for essential reasons. Therefore, making several trips to your local authority recycling site is unlikely to be deemed valid under current guidelines.
Hiring a skip allows you to manage your waste responsibly without breaching lockdown rules. Whether you’re undertaking home renovations, clearing out your garden, or simply decluttering your living space, a skip can provide a convenient solution while keeping you safe at home.
Your Concerns Matter
We understand that many of you may have concerns about hiring a skip during this second lockdown. Our team is here to help alleviate any worries you may have regarding safety measures and procedures in place when delivering or collecting skips. We encourage you to reach out directly with any questions or concerns; our friendly staff are always ready to assist.
COVID-Safe Measures We Are Implementing
At Martlands Skip Hire, the health and safety of our customers and employees are our top priority. To ensure everyone remains safe during these challenging times, we have put several COVID-safe measures in place:
1. Social Distancing Protocols
We will strictly adhere to social distancing guidelines by maintaining at least two metres between our staff members and customers at all times. This measure is crucial in minimising contact and reducing the risk of virus transmission.
2. Enhanced Hygiene Practices
Our employees have been reminded to wash their hands more frequently than normal throughout their shifts. Additionally, we will frequently clean and disinfect surfaces or objects that are touched regularly—this includes equipment used for loading and unloading skips as well as vehicles.
3. Use of Protective Gear
To further enhance safety measures, our team will use seat covers in vehicles along with a new pair of disposable gloves for every delivery or collection service provided. This practice ensures that any potential contaminants are not transferred between different locations.
4. Contactless Payments
To reduce physical contact during transactions, we encourage all customers to opt for contactless card payments whenever possible. Avoiding cash handling not only protects our staff but also provides peace of mind for our customers.
Keeping Communication Open
We believe that clear communication is key during these uncertain times. If you have any questions regarding our services or specific concerns about how we’re managing operations during lockdown 2, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly through phone or email.
Our dedicated team is committed to providing excellent customer service while ensuring everyone’s safety remains paramount.
Together Through Lockdown 2
As we navigate through another period of lockdown together, it’s essential that we support one another while adhering strictly to government guidelines aimed at keeping us all safe from COVID-19. At Martlands Skip Hire, we’re committed not only to providing reliable skip hire services but also ensuring that every interaction prioritises health and safety.
By hiring a skip from us during this time, you’re making a responsible choice—one that allows you to manage waste effectively without compromising your health or breaking lockdown rules.
Thank you for choosing Martlands Skip Hire as your trusted partner during these challenging times. We look forward to continuing serving you safely throughout Lockdown 2!
