When deposit disputes arise, evidence matters. At Fabric Inventories, we provide professional, independent inventory reports for deposit claims in West Wickham, helping landlords create clear, time-stamped records that support fair outcomes through the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) and Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).
Our detailed reports provide landlords with reliable documentation before, during, and after a tenancy, helping protect investments, reduce disputes, and strengthen deposit claims when evidence is required.
When a tenancy ends, disagreements can occur regarding property condition, damage, missing items, or cleaning standards.
Both the Deposit Protection Service and Tenancy Deposit Scheme require evidence when reviewing disputes. Without clear documentation, landlords may struggle to demonstrate that damage occurred during the tenancy rather than before it began.

For higher-value properties and long-term tenancies, our Schedule of Condition Reports provide a more detailed record of the property’s overall condition.
These reports offer additional protection where greater documentation is required.
