Just had my first cancellation due to Corona.

[littlespark]

I’ve not had any jobs cancelled yet, but I think I should put off a few as the customers are elderly and in poor health.
Still looking for a little hand sanatiser tub for the van

I've not had any cancellations but not had much new work coming in.
Sort of suits me as I'm renovating my new house before we move in. Does leave me a bit worried about a month or so time though as I'm currently paying two mortgages with not much work on the go.

ok some customers will cancel , I will tell customers that want any jobs doing is to lock them selfs under the stairs or the attic .I will look through the letter box to see if all clear
before I walk through the door .

I fear this may be the tip of the iceberg. It will probably take some time once things calm, before people have the confidence to allow strangers back into their homes and offices etc.

I got a few jobs booked which I think could be cancelled. Have had to fit an extra EV install in before 1st April grant changes.
Otherwise, most of my jobs are quite big. One is full garden lighting install. Can do that without coming near customer and lights are fed from fuse board under stairs in hallway.
Do have some which I can see being delayed due to virus.
I have one arranged to fit a load of Highbays in a commercial unit. If they are closed I may still go in if I can arrange the tower hire still.
Interesting times ahead...
My view on the emergency call outs is that if you have had it and ain't at deaths door then keep working, as others will not. You then are not going to infect the customer it seems. If you haven't had it then its a risk but you are likely to get it at some point anyway. Just gauge how sick the customers are. Wear gloves, mask and visor. Then wipe down.
I got litres of hand sanitiser now. Made my own from bac50 in big live style.

I’m in limbo, Company has just cancelled domestic flights and I’m in another state offshore. Looks like I’ll be driving for 2 days to get home.

Forget that I am meant to be going to South Africa in June for 2 weeks on big holiday with the girlfriend. In Cape Town then on to Sanbona a luxury tented Safari and visiting friends. They have just closed the border to people from high risk countries including UK. Not looking good as I can't see this getting better in 90 days. So will have to wait to see but got insurance etc so won't be out of pocket.
Much more worried about my holiday than the customers!!

Give it a few months and the loss of a holiday may seem trivial.
