Gaffer for
stairlift installers.

Stairlifts are sold to families in a hurry and then examined forever afterwards. A care home with six lifts on contract needs each one thoroughly examined every six months, and a council will not release a penny without a Disabled Facilities Grant assessment. Gaffer keeps every lift on its own site and tracks each examination date separately, not as one lump. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 12 trade documents stairlift installers actually use already in the account.

Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.
