Here’s a quick summary of everything you need to know. We’ll continue to monitor and follow government guidance and update you if anything changes.
Our offices
Our offices will be closed from Thursday 5 November and the majority of A2Dominion staff will be working from home. We’ve been doing this for a while now, so we don’t expect it will disrupt our services to you.
Repairs and compliance services
Repairs and compliance services (e.g. gas checks) will continue business as usual as much as possible, which has been our approach since the first lockdown in March. As always, our main priority is the health and wellbeing of our customers and staff, so we’ve adapted our services to follow government advice around social distancing and protective equipment.
Find out more about our repair services during lockdown, including what to do if you have coronavirus or you’re self-isolating.
Construction, property rental and sales
The government has explicitly said that construction, property rental and new home sales can continue so there’ll be no change to these areas. We already have the correct precautions in place to make sure these areas continue to operate as safely as possible for everybody.

Our cleaning and grounds maintenance services are currently operating business as usual where possible, including cleaning, landscaping, window cleaning, bulk removal and tree works.
