The attached documents set out guidelines and additional precautions for Builders’ Merchant staff in England and Northern Ireland to follow when operating during the COVID 19 outbreak. There are separate regulations/guidance in place in Scotland and Wales.

Government policy is that construction work can continue, that means across the whole supply chain, and that merchants have a key role to play in supporting this.
