Tiger and Roo think the Cotswolds are looking beautiful draped in Autumn colour, although big ears aren't great on windy days!

A huge thank you to our toiletries wholesaler @ https://www.ada-international.com who today, following a local appeal and our subsequent request, have donated 120 bottles of Orla Kiely hair and body gel, worth over £1,500 to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

Hopefully this will go a small way towards helping to boost the morale of staff who are now required to shower at the end of every shift.

Thank you NHS and all your fabulous staff!

Given the recent Government guidance regarding Covid-19, I would like to set out for you the measures Cotswold Tiger is putting in place to ensure our continued efficiency and the health and best interests of our staff and clients.

 As you will be aware, the impact of Covid-19 and the Government Guidance for individuals and businesses is changing daily. Therefore I would like to reassure you that over the coming weeks the CT management will be carefully planning how we look after both our Clients and our team, as well as ensuring that the business can continue to operate as productively as possible. We hope that you understand that we need to ensure that our response is measured in order to provide clear and consistent guidance, but we will keep you as informed as we possibly can.

 As a general principle we will follow up to date government guidance as well as reviewing daily, staff health.

 We will also be asking all Cotswold Tiger staff and primary contractors to undertake the following measures when entering client property:

  • Where at all possible avoid client or guest contact
  • Follow government guidelines for washing or sanitising of hands
  • To wear disposable latex gloves when attending client property or where not possible, wash and/or sanitise hands on entry to and exit from any client property
  • To ensure antibacterial cleaning products are used wherever practical/possible.

 In the unfortunate instance that any of our Clients are required to self-isolate or become symptomatic of Covid-19,  our team will also be available to assist with providing supplies, but at such time we will cease any activities which require entry to the property. Should you also be struggling to source additional handwash House Tiger does have limited supplies of (White Company) product available from stock which we would be happy to pass on at cost.

 Whilst we are taking every precaution to ensure the health of the team, there will undoubtably be unavoidable disruption should any member of the team need to self-isolate, in which case we will inform all those who may have been in contact with said individual as soon as possible.

 For holiday let properties, we are as yet unsure what the effect of widespread physical and social disruption may have, and whilst we accept there may be last minute cancellations/bookings, please do note that our sister company, House Tiger, would kindly request a minimum of 3 working day’s notice to change agreed housekeeping. We will of course still endeavour to accommodate last minute requests for additional services.

 We very much appreciate your continued support during what is going to be a challenging time for everyone and should you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our aim remains to support and assist our clients in any way possible, therefore if we can provide any additional assistance or advice please do not hesitate to contact one of the team.

With winter weather upon us, frozen pipes and water leaks can be a constant worry when properties are unoccupied for extended periods of time.

Installing a leak detection and/or leak prevention system can be a simple, effective and surprisingly cost efficient way of of preventing the risk of damage due to burst pipes and faulty plumbing.
