I am just putting the finishing touches to an e-book about inspections and it will include a check list of things to do before the inspector arrives.
It will be on my website tonight or tomorrow - e-book 63 - £3.99.
Hth :D
That sounds really helpful Sarah-I'll be having one of those! x

Have just looked twice through your e- books and couldn't find E63, then looked at the post again and realised that it was posted today and says it will be on your website today or tomorrow! Derr:blush:
I'll try again tomorrow!
