Independent checks for homes, builders, landlords and kitchens in East Kent

Two industries. One straight-talking consultancy.

Most of the problems we find are ones the owner didn't know they had. A missing sign-off that stalls a house sale. A handyman sent into a flat with no plan. An allergen chart that's months out of date. We find them before an inspector, a buyer or a customer does.

Independent · Fixed fee in writing first · No contracts · No VAT on top

What most people don't realise

Which of these is you?

Four ways we keep you SAFE

Your builder's mistakes can become your problem.

  • Missing sign-off follows you to the sale.If the work needed Building Regulations approval and was never signed off, your buyer's solicitor will find out when you sell.
  • You still have duties as the client.On most home jobs they pass to your builder under CDM 2015, which is exactly why who you hire, and how they plan the job, matters.
  • Invalid insurance lands on you.If a builder's cover isn't valid when something goes wrong, the cost of putting it right can end up with the homeowner.
  • The important parts get covered up.Foundations, steels and drainage are hidden within days. Without a check at the right stage, nobody can prove they're right.

What it can cost you

A delayed or failed sale, a lower offer, indemnity premiums, or paying twice to open up and redo work that was never right.

How we help

We check the quote and the builder before you sign, then visit at the stages that get covered up, with a written report each time.

What you get

A written report you can act on, not a vague opinion.

  • What we checkEvery area an inspector looks at: management and records, hygiene, temperatures, allergens, cleaning, pests, fire, gas and the building. The kitchen audit shown here covered 36 questions.
  • What you get backA score, every finding with its priority and photo evidence, and the things you are already doing right, so you can see where you stand at a glance.
  • What you do with itFix the high-priority items first, keep the report as dated evidence, and ask us about anything you're unsure of.
Sample report summary page: a 73% amber compliance rating, 13 priority findings and a summary of questions assessedSample report checklist page: every question with a compliant, needs-information or not-applicable status and the photo evidence countSample report finding: chemicals stored under a table with no safety data sheets, marked medium priority with a photoSample report positive observation: raw food correctly stored at the bottom of the fridge, with a photo

Ask about it

For homeowners

The extension you build today is checked again the day you sell.

  1. Before you sign

    The quote

    Is Building Regulations approval included? Who is the principal designer and contractor? What has been left out?

  2. During the work

    The hidden stages

    Foundations, drainage, steels and roofs get covered up. If they weren't inspected, nobody can prove they're right.

  3. At the end

    The sign-off

    A completion certificate, electrical and gas certificates, and guarantees. File them. You'll need them.

  4. Years later

    The sale

    Your buyer's solicitor asks for every certificate. Gaps can mean delays, a lower offer or paying for indemnity cover.

Why an independent check

We've no builder, supplier or product to sell you.

Your builder checks their own work. Your kitchen team checks their own records. We're the outside pair of eyes with nothing to gain from what we find, so we tell you straight.

The person who looks at your job is the person who does the work, from the first call to the final report. When a job needs both the building and the kitchen side, it is covered for one fee.

  • What you need, in plain English, with a fixed fee agreed in writing first
  • A dated written report you keep, ready for an inspector, insurer or buyer
  • If you don't need us, we'll say so on the first call
  • Based in Margate, on site and in kitchens across East Kent

Homeowners · 6 min readA £200,000 bill for a wall that should never have come downSupporting timbers and steels came out while chimney breast works were still open, with no temporary propping. The gable wall collapsed. The builder was sentenced — but because his public liability cover was invalid, the homeowner paid £200,000 to rebuild their own house.Construction · 5 min readThe open roof light: £60,000 for a hole nobody coveredNo barrier, no crash deck, no scaffold, no harness — just an open roof light and a man passing materials down through it. The HSE inspector called it wholly avoidable. It is also exactly the kind of thing an outside pair of eyes spots in ten minutes.Hospitality · 6 min readWhat a Food Hygiene Rating really scoresOperators assume the rating measures cleanliness. It measures three separate things, and the one that most often drops a score has nothing to do with how the kitchen looks on the day.
