Business tools for specialist trades
Our business tools sit around two jobs: finding a specialist for work like LEV testing or electric gates, and keeping the records that follow that work.
Three problems we built around
Each one has a tool built around it. The status next to each name is the real one.
The local exhaust ventilation is due its check, the last company has stopped answering, and a search page gives you a list of names with no way to tell who actually works near you.
Search around your postcode, read each company's directory profile and see the services it offers before you get in touch. The directory is live. Report-building tools are in development and paid plans are not open.
Describing the same job to four companies by phone, then trying to compare answers that were each given to a slightly different question.
Describe the work once and send a quote request through the directory, so every company starts from the same description.
Installation, servicing and repairs happen years apart, often by different people. The paperwork from the last visit is the one thing nobody can find when the gate stops.
Being built as a directory for finding electric gate engineers, with job enquiries and service reminders. Certificate tools are planned, not released, and no public launch has been confirmed.
LevHQ is live today for LEV testing. GateHQ is being built for electric gate work.
If you arrange LEV testing for a workplace, or you are a testing company that wants a local listing, use the LevHQ directory. It is the only one of the two you can use right now.
If you arrange electric gate work or carry it out, ask us about GateHQ. There is no public sign-up, and we would rather tell you where it is than have you wait on a page that says coming soon.
Neither tool certifies engineers or checks compliance for you. They help you find people and keep track of the work. The judgement about who is competent stays with you.

The 14-month interval, the five-year record and the word competent all come from COSHH Regulation 9. This guide quotes the regulation, explains what HSE says about choosing an examiner, and sets out a record-keeping routine that survives an inspection.
A powered gate is a machine, and HSE treats it as one. This guide sets out who holds which duty, what documents should exist from the day the gate is commissioned, and how to keep a service record that proves the gate was looked after.
