Gas Safety Records & CP12-Style Certificates

Field Ascend can be configured with certificate templates for plumbing and heating teams, including landlord gas safety records, boiler service sheets, inspection forms and customer sign-off documents.

Engineers can complete the form on mobile, add appliance details, record checks, capture photos and signatures, then generate a PDF record that is stored against the job, site and customer.

Plumbing & Heating Compliance Made Easier

Beyond gas safety paperwork, Field Ascend helps plumbing and heating teams keep the wider compliance picture under control—recurring servicing, supporting evidence and an audit-friendly record of what happened on every job.

Recurring servicing and renewals are driven by our planned maintenance software, while boiler and heat pump teams can see how it all fits together on our boiler service software page.

QR Code Equipment Scanning

For plumbing contractors managing plant rooms, pump stations, or commercial water systems, QR codes simplify asset identification and service tracking:

  • Scan to open asset record – Plumbers scan a QR code on equipment to instantly view its full service history, specifications, and documentation
  • Attach photos and notes – Add condition photos or maintenance notes directly from the scanned asset
  • Log defects instantly – Start a defect report for the specific piece of equipment with one scan
  • Complete PPM checks – Open the correct check sheet for that equipment type automatically

One Job per Asset vs Multi-Asset Jobs

Field Ascend supports both approaches, so you can choose what suits each situation:

  • One job per asset – Ideal when each piece of equipment needs detailed individual servicing with its own check sheet, time tracking, and report. Best for statutory inspections or complex maintenance.
  • Multi-asset per job – Perfect for site visits where a plumber services several items in one trip. Complete checks for multiple pumps, valves, or plant items under a single job for efficiency.

Switch between approaches as needed—some contracts may require detailed per-asset tracking while routine multi-site visits benefit from consolidated job management.
