Dust Protection
What methods will you use to protect my home?
Replacing your sash windows is an undeniably messy job; there’s 100 year-old dust and cobwebs, splinters from the timber and plaster from the disturbance of the wall. Whilst this is unavoidable, we also feel that this is no excuse. We have a comprehensive dust protection service to help minimise the disruption to our customer’s homes. If you’d rather we didn’t use single-use plastic, just let us know and we’ll let you know which other options are availale to you.
| Floor Protection: Dust sheets protect your carpet from the dust generated by the installation and the wear and tear that comes with a team of workmen working in your home. |  |
| Floor to Ceiling Protection: Wherever possible, we'll also use floor to ceiling dust protection, using props to secure the dust sheets. This will be cleared away at the end of the day. |  |
| Cleaning: We vacuum every disturbed room at the end of every working day, and provide a comprehensive clean prior to leaving site at the end of the installation. |  |
| Additional Protection: If you have tiling or wooden flooring, we'll need to lay down a few sheets of Correx, as we have heavy tools and move large products through the home. |  |
How important is dust protection?
The short answer is that it’s very important. Aside from causing a hassle when you need to clean up, long-term exposure to large amounts of wood dust can be hazardous to your health. The young or elderly are particularly at risk. Our dust protection is second-to-none, with floor to ceiling protection being a central part of our carpenter’s training. We see it as a no brainer and a win-win scenario. If we spend a little longer preparing our work area, we spend less time cleaning up and you get to come back from a hard day to see that your home and possessions have been well respected.
Worker safety
Although long term exposure to wood dust isn’t going to be a worry for your average homeowner, it can be for our workers. That’s why we ensure that we are fullly compliant with all health and safety regulations. We put a lot of time and effort into making sure we have a great workforce, so we like to make sure that they’re going to be with us as many years as possible.
