Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
We are updating this as new instructions come out - please keep checking back.
30th March:
Rose Removals & Storage (RRS) will remain closed until Government guidelines advise that it is safe to end lockdown and resume normal working practices. PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!!
27th March:
Response by the British Association of Removers (BAR) stated that:
“It is physically impossible for removals crews to ‘safe distance’ themselves from each other and/or their clients, fact!
The longer that moves are allowed to continue, the greater the risk of transmission of the virus arising from a move crew or their customer.
Neither the BAR nor its constituent Members want to look back on this period and regret the fact that people were made ill, or worse, because commercial considerations took priority over people”
26th March:
Government Guidelines issued on 26th March 2020 regarding House Moves and Removal Firms stated:
• Removers should follow the latest Government guidance which currently (26 March 2020) states that work carried out in people’s homes can continue, provided the tradesperson is well and has no symptoms or coronavirus (COVID-19).
• It is important to ensure Government guidelines are followed, including maintaining a 2 metre distance from others, and washing their hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds (or using hand sanitiser gel if soap and water is not available).
• No work should be carried out by a person who has coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, however mild.
24th March:
With effect from 24th March 2020 RRS have postponed all moves that have not previously started until it is safe to continue.
It is evident that our collective and absolute priority must be to ensure the safety of our staff and customers and their respective families, and to immediately remove risk from both mover and consumer
Update 23rd March
The PM’s briefing on 23rd March with regards to the developing crisis arising from the global coronavirus pandemic was absolutely clear.
“The day to day life of the UK is now formally suspended for a period of at least 3 weeks.”
The recommendation of the BAR to its Members has been equally as clear, which is that the Members should only complete any moves that are underway and immediately cancel or postpone any move that has not yet started.
