Working in London and it’s not really much different.

Managed to have at least one gang of Screeders on all last year and we are still taking jobs on

We've slowed down but only cos suppliers aren't running at 100%.

Not a great deal has changed though, at least not enough to worry the men in the suits anyway.

I would take furlough for a month if it helped stopping infections.

I run a construction company we are main contractors and developers with over one hundred employees, we haven’t stopped for a single day during the first lockdown we had issues with suppliers and some sub contractors however they gradually came back to work our production did slow down but never stopped,

We have been in constant contact with the government business secretary and informed that we are vital to the economy and should keep going.

They moved out recently and im back finishing off which will be finished tommorow.

We started on 3rd dec ripped roof off built a double dormer roof.

Fitted facia, fitted windows guttering and insulated the place out my stop date was 18th but the renters was left warm.

2 weeks before that we built roof on a single floor extension fitted it with 4 velux windows and slated it all.

You have been busy! I think my work mate just chose the wrong builder. We had no issues with ours apart from a 2 week delay on windows but it was done in 7 weeks

Domestic heating in my area is very busy, no one seems to mind you in their houses, someone I know with a large commercial roofing company have been scouring the country for materials at times, and struggling to catch up after slowing down for the first lock down. Seems to be the plasterers who has the most supply problems for their gunk...

Just thought I would add to this. I see the plastering trade slowing slightly not to a worrying state yet but slowing a little would love to know what it's like elsewhere in the country

Need a plasterer and electrician down here for a rental. Can’t get them for a couple of weeks loads of new builds going up round here maybe why. There is a site near us that states they have work for brick layers for next ten years. Not sure if that’s true or not but it’s a huge project of house builds in phases.

I'm very busy, some problems with materials, but plenty to drop on to. If people are worried, they just don't get you in, if people are, there is plenty of people wanting work done.
