Standards

How we approach safety and accountability.

These are the operational standards we work to. We do not claim any accreditation or third-party certification on this website — insurance and competence evidence is shared directly with clients where held and relevant.

A defined scope, not a guessing game.

Managing agents, landlords and business owners need contractors who work to a clear brief. Avendra agrees a written scope for every job, prepares risk assessments and method statements where the task or site requires them, and keeps records that can be shared with clients on request.

Regulated trade work — gas, notifiable electrical, structural or other specialist work — falls outside ordinary maintenance and is only carried out by an appropriately competent and qualified person where this has been expressly agreed in writing.

Operational standards

What we commit to on every job.

Written scope of work

Every contract is carried out to a clearly defined written scope, agreed before work begins.

Risk assessments & method statements

Prepared where the task or site requires them, and reviewed if the scope or site conditions change.

Safety data sheets & COSHH

Safety data sheets and COSHH controls apply to the products actually used on site.

PPE

Personal protective equipment is used where the task or site requires it.

Regulated trade work excluded

Gas, notifiable electrical, structural or other specialist work is excluded from ordinary maintenance unless carried out by an appropriately competent and qualified person and expressly agreed in writing.

Key & access handling

Key and access arrangements are documented where keys or access devices are accepted from a client.

Incident & damage escalation

Incidents, damage and safety concerns are escalated to the office and to the client without delay.

Insurance & competence evidence

Current insurance and competence evidence is provided where held and relevant, before work begins.

Avendra does not claim any accreditation or third-party certification on this website. Where insurance or competence evidence is held and relevant to a job, it is provided directly to the client before work begins.
Access & escalation

Documented from the first key handover.

Where keys or access devices are accepted, this is documented before work starts. If anything is damaged, goes wrong, or raises a safety concern on site, it is reported to our office and to the client directly — not left for the next visit.
