Solution · Retrofit surveyors
Walk into every survey already briefed
Retrofit assessors lose time rebuilding a picture of the property on site. Sapling gives you the filed certificate, the recorded construction and heating detail, and the official recommendations before you leave the office.
The workflow
From postcode to prepared survey
1. Pull the record
Search the address and open the current certificate straight from the government register.
2. Read the fabric
Walls, roof, glazing, heating and controls as previously assessed, so you know what to verify.
3. Plan the visit
Focus site time on what has changed or was never recorded rather than repeating known detail.
4. Brief the client
Share a jargon-free report so the household understands the recommendation before you quote.
Why it matters
Fewer surprises, shorter jobs
- Confirm whether a property already sits at or below the rental minimum before booking work.
- Spot properties where the certificate is stale and a fresh assessment is genuinely needed.
- Give households the same figures you are working from, which cuts back-and-forth later.
- Keep grant scheme conversations grounded in the recorded rating rather than assumptions.
