DFG Adaptations: What a Clean Handover Actually Looks Like

Disabled Facilities Grant works are won and lost on the handover. Here is what councils notice.

DFG works are funded by the local authority but delivered into someone's home. The cleanest jobs we hand over share four traits — and the council notices every one of them.

An OT-signed-off snag-free first visit. A complete photographic record. A resident who can actually live independently the day after handover. And no follow-up call-outs in the first 90 days.

Our DFG handover pack is the same one we use on Surrey council frameworks: drawings, certificates, warranties, maintenance schedule and a 12-month defects line.
