Joe Ayre
Managing Director

Joe started his career ‘on the tools’, working as a joiner. That day-to-day experience of working on construction sites gave him a fantastic grounding and appreciation of the skills required and challenges that need to be overcome to deliver safe and sustainable buildings that are fit for purpose.

He has always strived to put this practical experience to the best possible use – he even built his family home – and has passed much of this knowledge onto colleagues, clients and other professionals.

Moving into building control, he worked for several authorities in the north and south of England before entering the private sector which enabled him to progress in different directions with posts at senior and strategic levels.

As a senior building surveyor with Zurich Building Guarantees, Joe was part of a surveying/inspection team for Zurich’s latent defects warranty products. Subsequently, he worked in regional and management positions at various approved inspectors before setting up HomeProof Structural Warranties.

Joe takes great pride in leading a team of dedicated professionals who are client-focused and retain a personal, professional, practical approach.
