Laws on tradespeople working inside a home

Question

If a tradesperson comes to work in my home, does that mean that no one else from another household can be present in the home at the same time? So my daughter likes to invite a friend or two to the house on different days of the week. If someone comes to my home to work on anything (as there’s a few things that need fixing around the house), must her friends not visit during these hours? Or how does the law apply in these cases? Any help would be really appreciated as I’ve no idea how the law might apply in these sorts of scenarios. Thanks!

At the moment, it is best to not have anyone there except the family who live at the address. We take Covid  test every week to make sure every one is safe. Also keep out of the way when builders are at work in Property.

I don't know if this answer is going to help you, but trust is the key factor with you and the tradesperson who will be working on the project.

For me, it is all about trust. as a tradesperson, I will always talk about the word trust. it in my best intentions is to do the job to the best of my abilities without any contentions

I don't know of any laws for your question and I have worked in similar circumstances before and had no problems but you just need to be curious, professional and use your common sense in these situations.

At the moment the law is changing all the time due to the COVID situation so always check, BBC is good, at the moment most restrictions are coming off so it shouldn’t be a problem, but as I know right now, just try to keep unnecessary contact down. I.e. if you've got someone working make sure they are wearing masks and tell kids and friends to just sit in rooms with doors shut for the time.

Keep the persons in the household to a minimum - i.e only people living in that household present & keep your distance.
