Default When should I mow new turf?

We had a new turf lawn laid just two weeks ago (3rd weekend in May). The wrong time of the year probably but it couldn't be helped.

The grass is getting a bit long and we're conscious of the need to cut it to help the new lawn and stimulate growth but we've been told that we need to stay off of it for about 7 weeks. What's the next step? When can we safely mow the lawn without damaging it? We've consulted some books and there is no clear advice.

Thanks,


M
