DBS records

Background checks with expiry.

Replaces carbonless pads, a filing cabinet and a scanner. Nothing is lost or illegible, and every expiry date comes back to you as work.

Compliance & Certificates in Gaffer
Why it matters

913 certificates and forms, filled on site, filed for good.

Gas Safety, EICR, Minor Works, LOLER, F-Gas, FENSA and hundreds more — trade-specific, signed on the device, emailed to the customer as a PDF and tracked to their expiry date.

Nothing is lost, nothing is illegible, and every renewal comes back to you as work.

What you get
  • Lives on the job, the customer and the site it belongs to — not in a separate tool with its own login.
  • Available on the web and in the offline-first mobile app, so it is completed on site rather than back at the office.
  • Every record is timestamped, attributed to whoever created it, and kept in the audit log.
  • Included for every user across all 58 trades, with no per-user fee.
Always audit-ready
Never miss a renewal

Where it fits

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps "On my way" and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

DBS records is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Common questions

About DBS records

Something else? support@rungaffer.com

What does DBS records replace?

For most trade businesses, carbonless pads, a filing cabinet and a scanner. Nothing is lost or illegible, and every expiry date comes back to you as work.

Does DBS records work on a phone, and offline?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. DBS records is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
