It is considered good manners to offer a mug tea and a few biscuits to people working in our homes – but this is about to change under new safety guidelines.
Trade body Competent Roofer has warned tradespeople to refuse the obligatory cuppa when working in people's homes as lockdown is eased.
Electricians, plumbers, carper fitters and others must also ask permission to use your loo, supplying their own soap and towels.
And they must abide by social distancing measures and remain two metres apart if they want to remain safe from catching coronavirus.
