Tell the desk what you need, a planned renewal or an urgent notice. We verify accreditations at source and introduce three firms that can actually start. You choose, no obligation, nothing to pay.

Whoever is tasked with keeping them compliant, the desk finds and vets the right specialists, whatever the building.
Six steps, mostly automated, always human-reviewed. Not a marketplace listing: a research desk working your brief.
Call at 10am, form filled by midday, three vetted providers by 2pm the next day.
This is for accredited contractors, not for building owners looking to hire. Duty holders arrive through the desk with scoped, live requirements. Success fee only, no retainer, no directory listing, no shared leads. Panel places are limited per region and service line.

DealFlowAgent VC is a firm focused on essential services, advisors to owners and acquirers across UK building services, fire and life safety, facilities and healthcare. We work in this market every day, the desk exists because we watched too many responsible people struggle to find the right specialist at the moment it mattered.













Yes. Duty holders pay nothing, ever. The desk is funded by disclosed introduction fees paid by specialists on engagements that proceed, and panel terms prohibit passing that fee on to you.
No. Your brief goes to a hand-picked three, never a database. We stand behind the shortlist, not a listings page.
Tell us in the brief. Urgent notices are prioritised the same day, most match packs still land inside 48 hours.
From a single-building remedial to portfolio-wide programmes. Most briefs sit between £5k and £100k.
The panel is UK-wide, with places limited per region and service line. If panel depth isn't there yet, we say so and source it, that is the 7-day track.
Only our internal desk. Nothing is shared with any specialist without your written go-ahead on the exact three names. No mailing lists, no data brokers, no partner network you didn't approve.
No. Providers never see your details until you approve the introduction. We don't share, sell or syndicate contact data, the desk is the only intermediary.
Brokers place cover. Consultants sell hours. We match you to the specialist who actually does the work, take a disclosed introduction fee from them if it proceeds, and step out of the way once the introduction is warm.
Service line, reason for looking, rough site count and postcode, and anything already on paper (notice, quote, previous report). If you don't have it, we'll ask on the call.
All four, plus tenant reps and asset managers. The vetting layer is the same, the tone of the shortlist changes.
BAFE, LPCB, FIA, NICEIC, LEIA, Legionella Control Association, SafeContractor, CHAS, ISO 9001/14001/45001 where relevant. We verify each with the awarding body, not a screenshot.
Yes. Name them in the brief and we'll include them in the shortlist if they clear vetting. The remaining slots are drawn from our panel.
We confirm the brief in plain English, flag anything obviously missing, set expectations on price and timing, and agree what goes to the panel. No sales pitch.
Companies House, insurance, accreditation register, two live client references, one recent job walked through in detail. Anyone who won't sit for that isn't on the panel.
Tell the desk. We'll rework the brief, re-scope, or run a fresh three. There is no obligation to engage anyone we send.
Yes, separate track. HRB briefs go to specialists with live PAP experience and a golden-thread workflow, not general contractors.
Today, yes. A US variant is in early prep for 2026.
Three minutes to submit. Two days to your match pack. Nothing to pay.
