Following taking advice from an environmental health officer we have decided to put together the following:
Office procedure
Daily health checks on staff, any person showing symptoms will self-isolate.
Office will be cleaned including all touch points following two stage cleaning method, using detergent followed by antibacterial/antiviral cleaner and disposable cloths. First thing in the morning and regularly throughout the day.
Viewing procedure
Before a viewing commences staff will check that the person/s viewing have not recently travelled or had contact with anyone with the virus.
Staff will carry hand sanitiser and sanitise their hands prior to entering the premises and ask the person/s viewing to do the same.
Our advice to our clients will be to sanitise all touch points prior to the viewing and following the viewing. (our staff can complete this with sanitising wipes if the house is vacant).
The viewing will be minimum contact time and we suggest clients stand away from any persons entering the property or remove themselves and their family and let the staff complete the viewings.
NHS Advice for at risk groups. I would be advising that people at risk don’t have viewings, if this includes yourselves please kindly make us aware.
