Reports from Contractors

[peter.sedgwick0458@gmail.com]

Our Charity is looking into the feasibility of introducing a (not too onerous) proforma for our contractors to complete, when undertaking annual maintenance checks (etc) on our behalf. We feel this would give us better evidence of ‘best endeavours’ should we be submitting any related claim on our insurers.
Does anyone out there have a proforma they are happy to share?

Can you expand, please, on the type of work done for you , where you are NOT already getting a signed certificate of satisfactory work completion? Where such a certificate matters?

Those undertaking work related to electrical, fire, gas, stair/passenger lift, water and vehicle safety are already legally bound to provide certificates of satisfactory completion. I’m thinking of Annual Landlird Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports, Vehicle MOTs, Certificates of Conformity to the Requirements of Fire Safety, Water Certificates of Compliance (for plumbing work), and Stairlift Servicing Certificates (eg LOLER certificates).

Hi Nick
Thanks for your reply.
An example would be the regular roof inspections we get completed.

Ah, OK.

This might be a useful article to read:

and you could perhaps adapt the checklist here:

I confess that we tend to rely on our periodic QI reports.
