TARMACWHAT A FACILITIES DIRECTOR
ACTUALLY CHECKS
Seven compliance points that separate a contractor worth signing from one that creates liability. We've mapped where we stand against a typical market quote.
| Compliance Point | ✓ Tarmac London | Typical Market Quote |
|---|---|---|
Public Liability Insurance The minimum that protects your project if something goes wrong on-site. | £10,000,000 Seven-figure cover as standard | Often £1–2M |
Guaranteed Start Date Confirmed in writing before you sign off the order. | Written commitment, 5 working days Contractual, not aspirational | Verbal only, frequently slips |
NRSWA Accreditation Legally required for any works breaking the public highway. | Full supervisor & operative cards All operatives card-checked | Often absent or expired |
Traffic Management Capability In-house TM, no third-party delays or mark-ups. | In-house LANTRA-trained crew Included in our price | Subcontracted, adds cost & delay |
Waste Carrier Licence Legal requirement for removing excavated material from site. | Upper-tier registered, EA licence Licence number on every quote | Unlicensed or unverified |
Aftercare & Defects Period Written warranty covering settlement, cracking, and edge failure. | 12-month written warranty Included in every contract | No written terms, goodwill only |
Constructionline Status Pre-qualification standard required by most housing associations and local authorities. | Gold Member Satisfies most PQQ requirements | Standard or none |
