Builders in Crawley
| Certifications to Look For

When seeking a builder to complete work on your property in Crawley or the surrounding areas, it is worthwhile to check their qualifications and accreditations. While there is no requirement for builders to have certifications, any they do have can give you a good indication of their level of experience and knowledge. You also enjoy greater peace of mind knowing your builder has industry recognised training and/or backing.

There are countless qualifications building contractors may have, and lots of associations they can be members of. Consequently, each builder you vet is likely to have a different set of credentials, but this shouldn’t put you off. Just make sure any training and memberships are legitimate.

For friendly advice about building work, please contact Complete Carpentry and Maintenance Ltd. Our website and blog also contain lots of useful information, such as pre-building work advice.

Some Well-Known Certifications

CHAS Accreditation

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) is the UK’s leading provider of compliance and risk management solutions. Builders in Crawley and across the UK who have CHAS membership are audited every year by a professional assessment body.

This makes it easier to demonstrate the standard of their health and safety processes. Vetted contractors must prove their compliance in 13 areas with supporting evidence.

SSSTS Qualifications

The Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is an accredited, nationally recognised course. This course prioritises improved safety skills and a reduction of accidents and injuries

SSSTS training is an essential part of modern construction supervisor training and gives you assurance that your site supervisor will meet the highest health and safety standards.

FMB Membership

Members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) are professionally vetted and independently inspected on joining. This means you can trust FMB members to work to high standards and uphold the association’s values of quality, trust, protection and experience.

Trading Standards Approved

Builders which are Trading Standards Approved have been approved by the council. Trading Standards is a council department which ensures companies don’t break the law when selling or providing services to customers.

Consequently, approved traders offer greater peace of mind.
