Snagging, warranty, condition, inventories, voids, quality verification and HHSRS baseline surveys — one inspector, one point of contact, priced per report. Thirty years on site, and nothing to sell you off the back of the findings.
A firm that inspects and also carries out the remedial work has an interest in what the report says. An installer photographing his own work only ever photographs what suits him. This practice has no installation arm and no remedial supply chain, so there is nothing to upsell and no stake in the outcome. The finding is the product.
That is what a one stop shop means in practice — you stop keeping a list of who does what, and the same person who inspected the void does the check-out, the snag and the hazard survey. Priced per property and per report, never by the hour and never by the day.

Address, property type, bedrooms, and what you need looking at. I price it against the property and give you a date. Fixed per report — it doesn’t go up because the job took longer than expected.
Room by room, inside and out, against the standard that actually applies — the Building Regulations, the warranty provider’s requirements, your own lettable standard, or the specification on the drawings.
Within 24 to 48 hours. Every item photographed, numbered and located precisely enough for a site manager or a trade to find it again without you standing next to him.
The report is the product, so it is built to be used — forwarded to a developer, issued to a trade, or put in front of an adjudicator.
Professional Review is the route to chartered and corporate grade at both institutes and is in progress. It is not claimed as already held, and nothing here is described as an accreditation that isn’t one.
