EBR-01 strengthens contractor certification and verification framework

<h2>One standard, one verification route</h2><p>EBR-01 has consolidated its certification framework so that homeowners, surveyors and lenders can verify contractor compliance in one place. Certified contractors appear in the EBR-01 directory with their certification level, documents-verified status and service areas, and their compliance records are re-checked on an ongoing basis.</p><h2>What the changes mean</h2><ul><li>Contractors must keep insurance and waste carrier registrations current; lapses suspend listing status.</li><li>Document packs (insurance certificates, risk assessments, method statements and post-removal reports) are retained and reviewed.</li><li>Contractors assessed as non-compliant are recorded on the public non-compliant register, alongside the reason for listing.</li></ul><h2>For homeowners</h2><p>If a contractor claims EBR-01 certification but does not appear in the <a href="https://www.ebr-01.co.uk/directory">directory</a>, treat the claim as unverified and contact EBR-01 to confirm. Verification takes moments and prevents costly mistakes.</p>
