Royston Glass - Coronavirus FAQ's

A: Royston Glass is pleased to advise all our customers that we currently fully operational. In line with government guidance we continue to:

• Communicate regular updates on protocols and advice with both our suppliers and throughout the team
• Prevent unnecessary travel
• Work flexibly and utilise home working
• Limit meetings and utilise IT solutions
• Adopt proactive sanitizing regimes
• Maintain social distancing

A: Royston Glass are aware that our clients may seek assurances prior to allowing us access to their homes for works to be completed. We will talk to you about the safeguards we have put in place when we schedule your appointment, but below are the measures we have put in place.

These measures include but are not limited to:

• Avoiding touching work surfaces and handles etc.
• Wearing all relevant PPE including gloves, face masks and eye protection
• Opening windows & doors to provide ventilation
• Sanitising when work completed

We will also need you to assist in ensuring your home is safe for our staff to work. You will need to ensure you:

• Clear the area of the kitchen where our staff will be working. All surfaces should be clear and sanitised before we arrive.

• Leave our staff alone in the kitchen /work area to undertake their work in isolation. This will ensure the government advice on social distancing is followed.

• Ensure the food and drink required for the period we will be at your home has been organised so that you will not be coming into repeated contact with our staff.

• Allow 1-2 hours for Survey Appointments
• Allow 2-3 hours for Installation Appointments

• Royston Glass MUST be advised if you or someone you live with is self-isolating (due to exposure to, or suspected infection of Coronavirus) prior to any site survey or installation appointments.

Please note that if anyone at your property is self-isolating because they are symptomatic, Royston Glass will unfortunately not be able to attend. The safety of our staff is paramount and we are not prepared to attend appointments where risk to our staff is high.

A: Royston Glass would like to assure our customers that we have rigorously adopted the precautionary measures recommended by the UK government within our organisation to prevent the spread of the virus.

• The main gate to our compound will be kept locked until further notice.

• When you arrive to collect your order, please pull up to the main compound gate, and walk to the main reception entrance and seek attention via the intercom.

• Please pull into the yard and remain in your vehicle. Our staff will place your order onto a pallet in our designated collection/delivery area.

Royston Glass Courier Delivery

We use Parcelforce to deliver our products where own van delivery is not possible. Parcelforce have advised the following changes to their delivery procedure are effective until further notice.

“In order to protect both our people and customers as much as possible, we will not be handing over our hand-held devices to customers to capture electronic signatures. Our drivers will instead log the first and last name of the person accepting the item and we will record the geolocation of the delivery. This will apply to all deliveries that normally require a signature.

If recipients are unable to come to the door or are self-isolating, we will post a customer contact card in the normal way, advising of other ways the recipient can arrange to get their item. For example, by getting a friend or family member (who is not resident with someone who is self-isolating) to collect the parcel from their local Parcelforce depot or Post Office branch, as specified on the card. They will need to bring along the card we left and a form of ID in the name of the person the item is addressed to. Examples of suitable ID are specified on the card.”
