Looking for independent assurance that your assessments have been carried out compliantly?
As a registered provider, you are responsible for ensuring that your contractors are consistently delivering safe, compliant work. But how can you be certain that what is being reported is actually being done up to standard?
That’s where Technical Auditing comes in. At Pennington Choices, we provide an impartial, expert-led review of your compliance inspections across the five key areas: gas, electric, water, asbestos, and fire. Acting as your third line of assurance, Technical Auditing will give you independent verification that work meets all required standards and regulations.
You don’t need to audit every assessment, just enough to know it is being done right. To gain full assurance, we typically inspect 10% of desktop work and 5% of on-site activity, offering robust oversight without unnecessary cost. Our audits are aligned with your inspection schedules, so we follow your programme of work and deliver timely insights that prevent issues before they escalate.
An audit will provide you with a clear, actionable summary report that highlights any issues with the initial assessment, so you can engage with your contractors and ensure compliance is restored.
5 Areas of compliance
we audit
Our Technical Audits cover the five core areas of property compliance, tailored to your needs. Whether you need auditing across all five areas or just one, we can support you with a service built around your organisation.
The Technical
Auditing Process
Our end-to-end process offers clear oversight from contractor inspections through to final reporting and ongoing improvement.
- Your appointed contractor attends site.
- The contractor conducts the inspections, such as a Landlord Gas Safety Record or Fire Risk Assessment, and produces formal documentation detailing their findings.
- We receive the contractor’s completed inspection records. Our role begins at this stage, providing an impartial review of the work completed.
- To provide assurance without excessive cost, we select and schedule a representative sample of inspections to audit (typically 10% of desktop records and 5% of on-site assessments).
- Our experienced auditors conduct desktop and on-site audits on the selected sample to verify that reported work was carried out to the expected standard.
- Following the audits, we compile a clear, actionable report that highlights any areas of concern.
- You use this report to engage confidently with your contractors to review the findings and address any issues identified.
- Integrating a programme of audits into your compliance strategy allows this cycle to continue, giving you sustained assurance that your legal obligations are being fulfilled correctly.
