Never Miss A Certificate Renewal (And Win The Repeat Work)
There is a goldmine hidden in the certificates you have already issued. Every EICR, every gas safety record, every periodic inspection has an expiry date — and every one of those dates is a job you are perfectly placed to win again. The problem is remembering them. Miss the date and the customer calls someone else, or forgets entirely, which is worse.
Gaffer's certificate expiry tracking turns expiry dates into repeat revenue.
Every Expiry Tracked Automatically
When you issue a certificate through Gaffer, it knows when that document runs out. It tracks every renewal date across all your customers so you have a live picture of what is coming due — this month, next month, next quarter — without keeping a single note yourself.
Reminders For You And The Customer
Before a certificate expires, Gaffer can prompt you to rebook and remind the customer that it is due. The nudge lands at exactly the right moment, in your business name, so you are first in line for the renewal instead of hoping they remember you.
Compliance Becomes Recurring Income
This is the difference between a one-off job and a customer for life. The businesses that track renewals do not fight for every lead — they harvest the repeat work they have already earned. It is the easiest, warmest work you can get: the customer knows you, trusts you and legally needs the job doing.
The Maths That Makes This Worth Doing
Picture a landlord with ten properties, each needing an annual gas safety record and a five-yearly EICR. Track those renewal dates properly and that single customer is worth ten certificates a year, indefinitely, without a single new lead needed. Multiply that across every landlord, letting agent and commercial customer on your books, and the renewal list becomes a genuine forward diary rather than a hopeful guess.
Keep Customers Safe And Loyal
- Every renewal date tracked, nothing slips
- Timely reminders to you and the customer
- Repeat work you are first in line for
- Customers stay compliant, and stay yours
Do Not Wait Until It Is Too Late
The businesses that lose this work almost always lose it the same way: the certificate expires quietly, the customer either forgets or finds someone else convenient, and by the time anyone notices, the relationship has gone cold. Tracking renewal dates properly means that never happens — you are always the one reaching out first.
FAQs
How far in advance does Gaffer remind me about an upcoming renewal?
You can set the lead time that suits your business — enough notice to book the job in before the certificate actually lapses.
Does this work across different certificate types with different validity periods?
Yes. Gas safety records, EICRs and other certificates each have their own standard renewal periods, and Gaffer tracks them individually per property.
Can I see all upcoming renewals in one place?
Yes, there is a clear view of everything coming due across your whole customer base, so you can plan ahead rather than reacting one at a time.
What if the customer does not want to renew immediately?
You can note that and Gaffer will still keep the property on record, so you are not chasing manually if they come back to you later.
