'Gatherings' in people's homes are still permitted where . . .
"the gathering is reasonably necessary —
(i) for work purposes, or for the provision of voluntary or charitable services,
(ii) for the purposes of education or training,
(iii) for the purposes of childcare provided by a person registered under Part 3 of the Childcare Act 2006 F1,
(iv) to provide emergency assistance,
(v) to enable one or more persons in the gathering to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm,
(vi) to facilitate a house move,
(vii) to provide care or assistance to a vulnerable person, including relevant personal care within the meaning of paragraph 7(3B) of Schedule 4 to the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 F2, or
(viii) to continue existing arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children where the children do not live in the same household as their parents, or one of their parents"
(There are also provisions within the relevant Regulations relating to attending someone who is giving birth or dying.
So a workman can visit someone's home where it is 'reasonably necessary'. The Regulations don't define 'reasonably necessary'. I suggest, however, that a court would rule that a visit from a gas fitter to fix a leak would be regarded as 'reasonably necessary' but one from an interior designer to suggest a colour scheme for new furnishings wouldn't.
