An inconvenience at the Conveniences

COVID-19 Interrupted works on Public Convenience projects

Just Before the lockdown DBS started the refurbishment of several blocks of public toilets that were having long overdue refurbishments.

DSS's teams had great starts on several sites, all materials were ordered and Manufacturing of cubicles etc were under way... THEN IT HAPPENED

Initial  lockdown happened and our teams altered the way we were working to try to complete the works for the 'End of March Deadline' which WAS going to be a formality - But then the MAIN LOCKDOWN kicked in and supplies dried up, Factories closed down and we couldn't even pick up or source a tin of paint, DBS tried to continue using stock from our own stores but it was inevitable that works ground to a holt and Projects had to be mothballed

You know the next bit... sitting at home with everybody else.

We were pleased to eventually be allowed back on sites once suppliers began receiving stock again, and factories reopened, things are arriving much slower still but with 6 of these WC projects on the go, the rolling program of trades sees us now managing to complete one of these WC projects every week,

The timing of this could not have been worse for our seaside villages, with people finally being able to visit beaches, unfortunately all was out of our control.

Here is some before and after photos of one of the projects we completed over 2 weeks ago.
