UTR number - some places ask for it.
Another wanted to see maintenance schedules for my machines!
Hi Paul
Health and safety and risk assessment(s) are fundamental. Certainly a spraying certificate if you will be carrying out weed control. Perhaps a copy of your driving license (essential if working on military establishments and many commercial sites).
Then, of course, any operating certificates specific to your activities.
Hey Matt!
Just being cheeky but you haven't got a maintenance schedule template or something like that I could beg, borrow or steal off you have you?? ;-)
Don't worry you don't have to but it would be handy.
I've got all stihl equipment and get them serviced every year and get blades sharpened on all mowers about 4 or 5 times a year and change oil etc so I do actually carry out a lot of maintenance but I never write it all down. Never though about it really.
All the commercial work I do has only required:
Insurance certificate
Schedule / specification of works
Standard terms
Contract agreement.
I've never been asked for maintenance schedules, spraying sheets etc. If you work for local authorities you're more likely to be asked for that, but if it's property management, other private firms, they wouldn't tend to want to spend time and money chasing that stuff.
