Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking
Home improvement work can be complex, with multiple trades and multiple contracrtors. VBS was
established to create a safe, trusted environment for homeowners, contractors, and advisers.
We manage a nationwide network of approved contractors, ensuring all work is carried out to strict
standards—whether the project is arranged directly, through a mortgage broker, or via an equity
release adviser.

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
Last updated: March 2026
Our Commitment
Verified Building Services Limited is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain.
We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage and exploitation of workers. We have a zero-tolerance approach to such practices and expect the same standards from all organisations and contractors we work with.
Our Business
Verified Building Services Limited provides property inspection, advisory and building services across the United Kingdom.
Our services may include:
-
property inspections and reporting
-
contractor coordination
-
property remediation works
-
home improvement services.
Where appropriate we appoint qualified third-party contractors and specialists to undertake work on behalf of our clients.
Our Supply Chain
Our supply chain primarily consists of:
-
building contractors
-
specialist surveyors
-
inspection professionals
-
tradespeople and construction service providers.
We recognise that the construction sector can present a higher risk of labour exploitation and therefore take reasonable steps to ensure that contractors and suppliers operate in a responsible and lawful manner.
Due Diligence and Contractor Standards
Before engaging contractors or suppliers, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they:
-
operate legitimate businesses
-
comply with UK employment and labour laws
-
maintain appropriate insurance and professional standards
-
operate fair working practices.
Where appropriate, we may request evidence of contractor insurance, regulatory compliance and business legitimacy before engaging suppliers.
We expect all contractors and suppliers to ensure that workers are employed voluntarily, treated fairly, and paid in accordance with applicable law.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone working with us, including contractors, partners and clients, to raise concerns if they suspect any form of modern slavery or unethical labour practices.

Ongoing Commitment
Verified Building Services Limited will continue to review its working practices and relationships with contractors to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our business or supply chain.
