Hand over the job with paperwork that closes it out, and stops the snag email six months later.
For small firms wanting to end a job cleanly, not trail it for a year. Certificate checklist, warranty register, snag list and practical completion statement in one PDF.
A proper handover pack protects both you and your client. It proves what was done, what certificates were obtained, and what warranties apply. It also increasingly meets Building Safety Act expectations.
Disclaimer: This tool generates a handover pack checklist based on the type of work you've done. It does not replace statutory certificates (building approval/occupation certificate, and electrical, plumbing and gas compliance certificates) which must be obtained from the relevant bodies. You are responsible for ensuring all required certificates are obtained and included.
