FAQ
- Which technical credentials should I verify in a damp-proofing business?Review staff training, manufacturer approvals, inspection methods and experience across rising damp, leaks and condensation. Identify any building, plumbing or regulated work requiring separate qualified trades, and confirm those people will remain available.
- How do I check whether the products used are suitable?Obtain technical data sheets, safety information, warranties and applicable Agrément or standards evidence for membranes, coatings and systems. Match each product to the substrate, diagnosis and installation method recorded on completed customer jobs.
- Which warranty liabilities can pass to the buyer?List every active workmanship and product warranty, its remaining term, exclusions and claim history. Estimate the cost of inspections and remedial work, then state clearly who will honour defects from installations completed before the sale.
- What chemical and worker-safety records should I inspect?Review hazardous chemical assessments, safety data sheets, ventilation, protective equipment, training and exposure monitoring where applicable. Check work-at-height, confined-space and asbestos procedures, incident reports and subcontractor controls for occupied customer properties.
- How can I verify job margins?Reconcile surveys, quotations, materials, labour, subcontractors and invoices for a sample of jobs. Analyse call-backs and warranty visits separately, and test whether reported margins depend on owner labour, underprovided guarantees or incomplete remedial work.
- What reveals whether customer demand is sustainable?Analyse leads, inspections, accepted quotations and revenue by source, property type and diagnosis. Review complaints, online reputation and referral partners, and identify sales driven by exaggerated diagnoses, aggressive guarantees or one short-term marketing channel.
