CHAS Accredited Contractors for Guttering: Why It Matters

Being a CHAS accredited contractor sounds great, and it is, but what does it actually mean? As an accredited company ourselves, we’ve broken it all down for you below – including what CHAS is and how the accreditation works, as well as why it’s important for customers to choose an accredited contractor for their guttering services.

What is CHAS?

CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme), also known as Veriforce CHAS, is a leading provider of compliance and risk management solutions in the UK. Setting industry-wide benchmarks, being a CHAS accredited gutter contractor helps us stay compliant and guarantees nothing but the best standard of health and safety on-site.

How Does CHAS Accreditation Work?

Depending on the type of CHAS membership, there can be anywhere from one to thirteen assessments to complete. This involves sharing documents and policies with CHAS to demonstrate compliance with various supply chain standards, for example:

  • Health and safety policies
  • Evidence of risk assessments and method statements
  • Records of on-site health and safety inspections
  • Insurance documents
  • Records of maintenance and testing of equipment
  • Proof of training and certification
  • Construction phase plans

Once complete, a CHAS assessor will review the information provided and let you know whether your application was successful.

Why Is It Important to Choose a CHAS Accredited Contractor for Guttering Services?

To become CHAS accredited, our supply chain and the processes within it have undergone a range of rigorous checks from expert assessors, ensuring we follow our industry’s best practices.

The three main reasons it’s important to choose a CHAS accredited gutter contractor include:

  1. Health & Safety: With a standardised, industry-approved health and safety process in place, our contractors minimise risk when installing gutters at your property – reducing accidents and preventing delays. 
  2. Quality Assurance: As well as establishing formal health and safety practices, a CHAS accreditation is also a sign that your chosen contractor has invested time into comprehensive quality control measures – ensuring the installation is completed to the highest standard.
  3. Full Compliance: Accidents can happen, but when they do, you shouldn’t be left footing the bill for any legal or insurance claims. This can all be avoided by choosing a CHAS accredited contractor who is fully compliant with all legal and insurance requirements. No more delays or unexpected costs.
