What we ask
The standard we work to.
Clients trust us with buildings people live in, so we are careful about who carries our name on site.
- Your own public liability insurance, and employer's liability where you engage others
- Relevant trade qualifications, and current scheme registration where the trade requires it, such as Gas Safe, NICEIC or NAPIT
- A clean, considerate approach in occupied buildings, with residents treated properly
- Photographs and clear notes on completion, so we can report back to the managing agent
- Reliability on attendance dates, and a straight answer when something will not be met
What you get
Steady work, clear scopes, paid on time.
- Repeat contract work across managed residential blocks and commercial property, not one-off call outs
- Clear scopes and agreed rates before you attend, so there is no argument afterwards
- Agreed payment terms, paid on time
- A named contact at our bookings desk rather than an anonymous portal
- Work grouped sensibly across London and the South East where we can, to keep travel down
