Guides
Guides for UK trades businesses
Plain-English answers to the questions that come up in the day-to-day of running an electrical, gas, plumbing or multi-trade firm — the paperwork, the certificates and the site expectations. Written for people who do the work, with the regulations named and nothing dressed up.
These guides are general information, not legal or compliance advice.
Start with these
What is RAMS? Risk assessments and method statements explained
What RAMS stands for, the difference between a risk assessment and a method statement, when UK trades are expected to produce one, and what a good RAMS actually contains.
Read the guide ›EICR codes explained: C1, C2, C3 and FI
What each classification code on an Electrical Installation Condition Report means, what makes a report unsatisfactory, and what has to happen next for each code.
Read the guide ›CP12 (Landlord Gas Safety Record): the UK guide
Who needs a Landlord Gas Safety Record, what the annual gas safety check covers, how long the record lasts, and the copies and records landlords must keep.
Read the guide ›Toolbox talks: topics, templates and how to run them
What a toolbox talk is, why principal contractors expect them, a dozen topic ideas for electrical, gas and plumbing work, and how to keep records that stand up.
Read the guide ›More guides are on the way — we add them as questions come up from the trades we work with.
From reading about it to doing it
Every topic above has a working home in AllForProjects — all-in-one job management software for UK trades. RAMS and toolbox talks live in site safety, EICRs and CP12s in certificate software, and the whole platform is on the full feature list.
Or start from your trade: software for electricians, software for gas engineers, plumbing & heating and multi-trade firms.
Put the paperwork where the jobs are
AllForProjects is in private beta ahead of public launch. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know the moment it opens.
