Credentials
Accreditations, insurance and compliance
Checkable, not claimed. Everything on this page is either a document we can send you or a duty we are under by law.
Why this page is short
Builders' websites tend to carry a row of logos. A logo is not a credential. It is an image file, and anyone can put one on a page.
So this page lists only two kinds of thing: documents with a number attached that you can ask to see or look up yourself, and statutory duties that apply to us whether we advertise them or not. If a scheme is not named here, we do not hold it. Nothing appears until the underlying record exists in our system, which is why the page grows rather than launching complete.

Compliance on every project
We act as principal contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 on projects involving more than one contractor, and prepare a construction phase plan before work starts. Where a project is notifiable, we submit the F10 to HSE.
Notifiable work is submitted to building control before it starts, and the completion certificate is handed over as part of the handover pack rather than chased afterwards.
Where the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies, notices are prepared and served at design stage rather than when the crew is booked, because the statutory periods are one or two months depending on the section and they cannot be shortened. On commercial work we submit the contractor documentation, method statements and insurance details the landlord's surveyor requires, and we work to the building's permit regime on top of our own controls rather than instead of them.
What you receive at handover
Building control completion certificate
Issued by the local authority building control team or a registered building control approver, handed over at completion rather than chased afterwards. It is the document a buyer's solicitor asks for years later.
Electrical installation certificate
For notifiable work, covering the circuits installed and the tests carried out, issued in your name rather than kept on our file.
Gas safety documentation
Where gas work forms part of the project, the certification for the appliance or installation, including the ventilation interlock on a commercial kitchen.
Commissioning records
For ventilation, extraction, heating and cooling, showing what was set and what it was tested at, so a future engineer inherits a baseline.
Workmanship warranty
Running from the date of practical completion. It covers defects in our own work and excludes fair wear and tear, alterations by others, and failure to maintain.
Manufacturer warranties and guarantees
Registered where registration is required, and passed to you with the serial numbers and dates already recorded.
Operation and maintenance information
What was installed, where the isolation points are, and what needs servicing and how often. A short document on a bathroom, a bound pack on a commercial fit-out.
Construction phase plan and risk documentation
Prepared before work starts under CDM 2015 and issued to you, along with the health and safety file where the project requires one.
Waste transfer notes
Available on request, showing where material from your site actually went.
Insurance certificates
Current certificates sent on request before you commit to anything, not after a contract is signed.
Common questions
Straight answers.
Not answered here?
Tell us what you are planning. We read every enquiry ourselves and reply within one working day.
Ask us directlyThe current figures are shown above and come from our own records rather than from a sentence typed into a web page, so they cannot drift out of date without the record changing. Certificates are sent on request before you commit to anything. If a contractor will not send theirs before contract, that is worth knowing early rather than after a deposit has been paid.
On projects involving more than one contractor, yes. We take the principal contractor role, prepare a written construction phase plan before anyone starts, and issue it to you rather than keeping it in a van. Where a project is notifiable, the F10 is submitted to the Health and Safety Executive. On a domestic project those duties pass to us rather than sitting with you.
We list only what we actually hold, and only where the record exists and can be verified on the scheme's own register. That is deliberate. Anything not named on this page, we do not have, and we would rather answer that plainly than display a badge you cannot check. If a membership matters to you for a particular project, ask and we will tell you the position directly.
The list above, assembled as one pack at handover rather than sent piecemeal afterwards. On a residential project that centres on the building control completion certificate, the electrical certificate and the warranties. On a commercial fit-out it also includes commissioning records, as-built information and an operation and maintenance pack for the landlord and for your own facilities file.

Ask, and we will send it before you commit to anything. It is a reasonable question and a short answer.
