With the aim of supporting its 9000 registrants during the coronavirus pandemic, OFTEC has announced that it will extend all current business and technician registrations for two months, free of charge. Businesses paying monthly by direct debit will also be given a two-month payment holiday covering May and June. The package of support measures applies to all those who maintain their registration and will be reviewed, and potentially extended, depending on the length of time the UK remains under the current restrictions. OFTEC registrations director Adrian Lightwood, explains: [The current situation is clearly hitting businesses hard and the heating sector is no exception, especially as so many technicians are self-employed or work for small companies. The government support scheme for the self-employed is welcome, but we are concerned that payments through the scheme may not be received for around three months, leaving many in a difficult financial position. [As well as giving our registered technicians a little breathing space, we are also working hard to ensure all technicians have easy access to the most up to date sector information, including the government support packages available, via a dedicated page on our website. Our registration and technical teams are also on hand to answer queries via email." Heating technicians can continue to carry out repair and maintenance work, provided they have no coronavirus symptoms, no one in the household they are attending is isolating (except when emergency work must be completed), and social distancing rules a

Before the lockdown we had lots of calls from people trying to get plumbers in to finish jobs. [As well as the danger to health for plumbers still working, one of the biggest issues will be sourcing materials. It`s not just plumbers that will be in short supply, but parts too. [I`m worried that tradesmen are prioritising customers` needs over their own and not thinking of their own safety, and that of their family. It`s so important to follow the recommended safety measures, to glove up, and keep completely clear from your customers. [The rural areas I work in are quite isolated so local plumbers may feel more comfortable making house visits compared with city tradesmen. [One thing about being at home more is that I won`t be short of things to do – my wife`s got a stockpile of materials at home and a long
