Your security

Most jobs are done by our own work force but we do sometimes use sub-contractors particularly when we are very busy. Our workers wear a uniform and carry an identity card with their photograph on it. Sub-contractors should have some form of authorisation from Ocean Housing with them as well as identity cards.

Always ask to see their ID card and if in doubt do not let them in and contact us immediately on 01726 874450.
