You must always take note of the following health and safety guidance while work is being carried out to your home.
Safety barriers
We may erect barriers to stop you getting into rooms being worked on. If you need to enter these rooms, please ask the operative and they will protect your safety.
Agreement to use
Operatives should not use your electricity, toilet, telephone or radio without your agreement.
Children
To prevent accidents, please keep children away from all areas of work, including tools, material, rubbish, scaffolding and rubbish skips. We will not be able to carry out work in your home if children under the age of 16 are left unattended.
Pets
To avoid pets being hurt or getting trapped under floorboards (if lifted), please keep them away from work areas. If your pet is prone to attacking visitors or strangers, please ensure you secure or restrain the pet whilst contractors are working in your property.
Dust
Some improvement work will create dust but only for short periods of time.
Please follow our operative’s advice if they ask you to leave the immediate area for your and your family’s protection.
The workers ensure this is as little as possible. All areas of work will be cleaned up at the end of each day.
Noise
Noise may be emitted by our operative’s activities; this should be minimal. However, if this becomes a nuisance please inform our operative.
Watch your step
To avoid tripping up or falling, please be careful when walking on dust sheets or things like rolled-up carpet, materials or trailing cables. Wherever possible, the operatives will try to provide a clear access around your home.
Electrical work
Whilst electrical work is being carried out, do not use any sockets unless you have spoken to the electrician or Mears contact beforehand. All sockets will be left working at the end of each day.
Falling objects
We may need to carry out work from ladders or scaffolding. During this work objects can fall accidentally so please take extra care when you are in the area where we are working including when you enter or leave your home to avoid serious injury or fatality.
Keep off scaffolding and ladders
A fall from scaffolding or ladder could have serious results. Please do not allow anyone including children onto any ladders or scaffolding.
Keep out of the storage compound
Operatives may have a site compound for storage and workers near your home. It’s usually a fenced-off area containing steel huts. Please keep children away from this compound.
Equipment
To avoid serious injury, please do not touch or use any of the operatives/ workers machinery or equipment – this includes hand and electrical tools.
Other work
While improving your home, we may find that other unforeseen work is required. If this is the case, we’ll inform you how the work will affect you and do what we can to reduce any disruption or risk, this would include any removal of asbestos.

It all started with one little van...
Our story
The Mears story began in 1988 when a little known maintenance contractor in Gloucestershire, with a tiny work force, took its first steps as Mears Limited. Within four years Mears won its first local authority contract and achieved a remarkable £2.5 million turnover! All from a cosy portacabin.

Tackling Homelessness with Mears
At Mears we are committed to providing responsible long-term solutions for homelessness. What was the Challenge? Waltham Forest Council is an Outer London Borough with Inner London, catering to just over 8,000 households on the housing register. More than £3.4 million is spent by the Council every year, housing around 2300 families in bed and breakfasts, hostels and other forms of temporary accommodation. Waltham Forest needed to reduce reliance on expensive temporary accommodation, with over 70% of the households in the borough placed in nightly accommodation, with a net increase of between 10 and 12 households per month. East London is a rapidly developing area with private rents increasing, meaning the pipeline of social lets available is falling and in addition to dealing with the lack of housing options available, other London Boroughs were placing residents in Waltham Forest and its surrounding boroughs. What did we do? In answer to the need for more affordable, decent housing within Waltham Forest, Mears developed a joint partnership, “More Homes Waltham Forest”. This is a purchase-and-repair scheme bond to purchase and refurbish 330 homes for homeless individuals and families. The joint venture partnership was set up in 2018 to raise the £88m needed to purchase the properties. The scheme lasts for 40 years, after which the homes will revert to the ownership of the Council, providing a sustainable source of housing for the area and giving long-term security to households in need. The More Homes Waltham Forest model provides an alternative, far more affordable, supply of housing which aims to significantly reduce costs to the Council while allowing it to truly discharge its housing duty. The result is win-win with better homes and outcomes for families for less expenditure. Key features of the More Homes model include: Funds borrowed for 40 years at a fixed price to purchase 330 homes Flexibility built in to respond to changes in housing quantity, price and location Properties bought locally and in agreed areas Commercially beneficial portfolio of housing set up by the joint venture Portfolio made available on long leases from the joint venture Stock transfer to Waltham Forest at the end of the joint venture Tenure can change throughout the lease length Risk and costs are shared What were the outcomes? Through this partnership, Mears have made significant revenue savings for Waltham Forest. The value of the rent goes to the Council, not a landlord and ownership of the 365 properties revert to the Council at the end of the 40-year term. The average weekly cost of temporary accommodation for each household in a nightly let or private sector leased temporary accommodation was £257. The net cost avoided/saving to the council was just under £4.0 million in the last financial year which demonstrates the impact of the increasing cost of temporary accommodation and how a scheme like this can deliver significant savings for the Council. The joint venture also gives Waltham Forest the option to sell the properties using the capital receipt to offset any debt outstanding at the end of the contract term. Most importantly, this improved accommodation offers a better alternative to temporary housing which means better outcomes for individuals and families that are housed through the scheme.
