He’d turn round and get back in his car if I let him look in my garage I’ve more PPE in there than Chris Whitty gloves masks 😷 the lot 🤣🤣
Not once he got that condom aroma from your garage flooring, yous would be rolling about on it like pigs in blankets😁

It isn’t a scam, it’s genuine.

He wouldn’t knock on your door Daz, the drug dealers next door would scare him away before he got anywhere near your flat 😂

At 10:44 in the morning; why wasn't OP out grafting and why would someone come knocking your door asking questions about your social distancing etc when you would be expected to be out working? It doesn't add up. Either OP is on the wind up or the bloke knocking his door is suss.
We look at them, they look through them.

Because OP doesn’t work in constant heavy rain. I was picked at random, I phoned HSE to ask if it was genuine and they confirmed it was. If you google Covid spot checks you will get the info on there.

What is anyone going to gain by catching 1 small business they want to go out and look at how many old people that have just had the jab are now walking about without masks on,it’s turned into an over 70s spreading fest.

Once again your inability to read other posts on the subject matter has left you looking a bit foolish. As has already been stated in a few of the posts, it isn’t HSE staff who are carrying out the checks, it’s representatives working in partnership with the HSE. In my area it’s a debt collection company who have been appointed, which makes sense as otherwise they would probably be on furlough or even worse,  without a job.

Knock on baby! Got two social distancing signs, social distancing hi viz , nitrile gloves and wear a face mask for all my work.
Covid statement as well.
Over the top? Probably but I’m 70, have a young son who I want as many years with as possible.
Also customers and passers by  just stroll up all the time. It’s amazing how many people just ignore the guidelines.
I bet I’m in for a slating for this post butI have to work and if I catch Covid that’s it.
Stay safe all

From this it appears they are checking  premises to make sure they are compliant , we as window cleaners dont have a premiss we work outside most of the time , from job to job so don’t see why they would bother checking on us at home ?? Ime not saying it couldn’t happen just that is seams a pointless exercise and there time could be better spent else ware .

This is a good point. I need to do a Covid Risk assessment. Thank you.

This disease could be with us for years to come if some experts  are right. When we get older we take on a different mindset of self protection as the risks are that much higher.

I decided to go out to his car when he was filling out paperwork as I was a bit sceptical, this is what he showed me.

No sceptical, sensibly cautious! I could make one of those documents easily. Not good proof of permission and purpose. But hey maybe I’m to expectant of a gold guilting certificate 😊
