COVID-19 Update – Working Safely

On Saturday 31st October, the Prime Minister announced a 4-week lockdown for England. This will come into effect on Thursday 5th November and run through until Wednesday 2nd December 2020. In this 1st Choice Security Systems update, we’ll let customers know how our engineers will manage the lockdown regulations in order to keep your household safe.

1st Choice engineers will continue to carry out all scheduled work. They will take great care, however, to adhere to the current guidelines set out by the government and world health officials. The health and safety of customers and engineers will be treated with the utmost seriousness at all times.


Message For All 1st Choice Customers

We’re aware that our customers’ lives are going to be severely disrupted throughout the lockdown period. 1st Choice engineers will do everything they can, however, to continue to provide you with the range of services that we have built our reputation on.

Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our customers and our engineers. This is particularly important during the coming month. We have, therefore, outlined a number of practical steps that we will take in order to protect everyone that we are likely to come into contact with. These have been developed in response to the most recent guidelines from the World Health Organisation and the UK Government.
