// For demolition & asbestos contractors

Compliance-heavy work, without the paper mountain.

Few trades carry more paperwork: licences, notifications, face-fit tests, medicals, training and plans of work - and every job has to be evidenced stage by stage. DuoApp keeps jobs, documents, sign-offs and operative compliance in one app, with CIS and retention handled properly.

// Sound familiar?

The job is dangerous. The paperwork is relentless.

Demolition and asbestos firms live and die by their compliance records. These are the problems they tell us about most.

Expiry dates everywhere

Face-fit tests, medicals, refresher training, CCDO and other cards - each with its own renewal cycle, tracked on a spreadsheet that's never quite right.

Plans of work on the wrong revision

Method statements and plans of work change, and you need proof every operative has read the current one.

Evidence stage by stage

Enclosure built, smoke test, removal, clean, clearance - each stage needs photos and a sign-off, usually on paper.

Operatives who shouldn't be on site

Someone with a lapsed medical or face-fit gets sent to a job because nobody checked.

Variations and extra finds

Extra asbestos found mid-strip or extra demolition agreed on site, forgotten by the time you invoice.

CIS and retention by hand

Deductions, retention and releases tracked in a spreadsheet, and money you're owed sits unclaimed.

// How DuoApp helps

Built around how demolition and asbestos contractors work.

Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, for operatives, supervisors and the office alike.

Licences, medicals and face-fits - tracked

Store face-fit test certificates, medicals, training records, CCDO and CSCS cards and insurance against each operative, and company documents such as your licence. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.

  • Expiry warnings for every document
  • Work blocked until documents are current
  • Approval inbox for new documents

Plans of work read before work starts

Mark a plan of work, method statement or survey as required reading. DuoApp notifies everyone affected, blocks sign-off until they've opened it, and re-locks on every new revision.

  • Required-to-view documents
  • Sign-off blocked until read
  • Re-locks on each revision

Stage-by-stage sign-offs with photos

Checklists for each stage of the job, with photos, notes and a signature. Every sign-off is timestamped and stored against the job with a full audit trail.

  • Pass / fail / N/A checks per stage
  • Photos and signatures on every record
  • Works offline and syncs later

Every job and stage in one view

Break each job into the stages you work and price to, assign them to a team and track progress live. Recurring tasks handle anything that repeats on a cycle.

  • Jobs down to area and stage
  • Live progress for every job
  • Recurring tasks for cyclical checks

Extra finds and variations signed off

Raise a variation from site on your phone when you find more than the survey showed, send it for approval and keep a full audit trail.

  • Raised from site on a phone
  • Custom approvers per job
  • Full audit trail

CIS and retention, built in

Deductions, verification status, retention and releases sit on every invoice, so what you're owed and what you owe is always worked out for you.

  • CIS deductions and verification
  • Retention held and released
  • Split payments against real work

Who's on site - and a fire roll

Clock in and out on the phone, optionally checked against the site boundary at that moment. See who's on each site right now, with an offline fire roll.

  • Optional geofenced clock-in
  • Live who's-on-site list
  • Offline fire roll
More on Site Attendance →

A full audit trail

Every change, approval and sign-off is recorded with who did it and when - so when a client, principal contractor or inspector asks, the history is already there.

  • Every change recorded
  • Who, what and when
  • Nothing quietly edited

// Demolition & asbestos FAQs

Questions demolition and asbestos contractors ask us.

Can DuoApp track face-fit tests, medicals and training?
Yes. Any certificate or record can be stored against a person with its expiry date. DuoApp warns you before it expires, has an approval inbox for new documents, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.
Does DuoApp produce asbestos notifications, air-test or clearance certificates?
No - those come from the relevant authority or your analyst. DuoApp stores them against the job alongside your own stage sign-offs and photos, so the whole record sits in one place.
Can I prove operatives read the latest plan of work?
Yes. Mark the document as required reading and DuoApp records who has opened it, blocks their sign-off until they have, and re-locks it for everyone when a new revision is uploaded.
Does DuoApp handle CIS for demolition subcontractors?
Yes. CIS deductions, verification status, retention and split payments are built into invoicing as standard.
Is DuoApp suitable for a small contractor?
Yes. You pay £10 per user, per month, so a team of six costs £60 a month with every feature included. You can add and remove people as your team changes and you're billed pro-rata.
How much does it cost and is there a free trial?
£10 per user, per month plus VAT, with every feature included. There's a 14-day free trial of the full platform, and you can cancel any time from the billing screen.
