Protected-species pre-works screener

Check wildlife red flags before work starts.

For roofs, lofts, trees, barns, demolition, and outbuildings. Spot bat, bird, and protected-species red flags, record your checks, and know when to pause for expert advice.

For homeowners, roofers, builders, architects, landlords, and tree workers. This is a pre-works screener — if red flags come up, you'll need a qualified ecologist.

Pre-works evidence for rooflines, woodland edges, barns, trees, and sensitive site features.

SOURCE-LINKED EVIDENCE RECORDS

Why dated evidence records matter.

Got Proof helps you keep a clear, dated audit trail of the checks, photos, documents, and follow-up actions you control. It organises evidence; it does not certify legal compliance or replace competent advice.

1. Be ready when someone asks for records

Local authorities, insurers, tenants, clients, boards, and contractors often ask for dates, photos, certificates, actions, and handover notes. A tidy record is easier to explain than scattered emails and paper sheets.

2. Keep the evidence chain visible

Track what was checked, who recorded it, what was missing, and which follow-up action closed the loop. That gives you a practical evidence timeline without pretending to be a legal certificate.

3. Source-linked guidance notes

Guidance links and field prompts point users toward relevant public sources and good recordkeeping habits. You still choose qualified professionals where the duty requires one.

Dated evidence trail

Creates dated, exportable PDF records with field notes, source links, and document references.

Exports identify themselves as Got Proof evidence records, not government approvals, legal certificates, or professional sign-offs.

This tool is part of a bigger evidence pack.

The best time to spot ecology risk is before work starts.

Protected-species issues are harder and more expensive once a job is live. WildWorks gives homeowners and trades a structured early check and clean project note.
