About Us

Life at Alert Level 2 means we can resume many of our everyday activities – but we have to do so safely. It is not life as normal, some restrictions and other measures remain in place to reduce the risk of transmission.

Please be aware our crews may arrive wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and will ask if anyone in your household has been unwell with cold or ‘flu like symptoms recently.  Where appropriate our crews will ask you to perform hand hygiene and wear a surgical mask.

If you have concerns about your health or the health of others, please call Healthline's dedicated COVID-19 number on 0800 358 5453. This is free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
