During home valuations we would ask that only one member of the household to be present in the house during the appointment. Naturally 2 metre distancing will be expected and please make the valuer aware of any areas in the household where this distance may be compromised.
Antique auctions will now be hosted on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
During view days we are limited to 15 persons within the viewing area at any one time. We will be using a basic 1 hour booking system through our website. Although customers are welcome to arrive without appointment we cannot guarantee they will be allowed in the building due to capacity.
Only 4 people may view at the counter area at any one time with one customer allowed per counter. There will be a 2 meter boundary infront each counter and we will expect customers to stand behind this line whilst a member of staff retrieves antiques for them. If you wish to view the counter area indicate this when booking your appointment.
On auction days customers will need to book with us if they wish to attend an auction.
One customer is permitted in Reception at any one time.
Customers will be expected to sanitize their hands on entry and respect a two metre distance of other customers
