Services Designed for Property Professional
Whether you’re preparing to let a home, sell a building, or construct a development, our range of services covers all legal compliance needs.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
If you’re renting or selling a property, you need a valid EPC. We provide domestic and commercial EPCs that meet legal standards and help identify cost-saving energy improvements. Our reports are fast, clear, and government-compliant.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
EICRs are now a legal requirement for rented properties in the UK. We carry out detailed inspections to check for faults, damage, or non-compliant wiring — ensuring your property is safe and ready to rent.
Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)
Landlords must renew their gas safety certificate annually. Our Gas Safe engineers carry out thorough inspections and issue your CP12 promptly, ensuring your boiler, gas appliances, and pipework meet all safety standards.
SAP Calculations and New Build EPCs
If you’re building or converting a property, you’ll need SAP calculations to meet Building Regulations. We provide full assessments, Part L compliance, and SAP-based EPCs for new homes, extensions, and conversions.
