EICR, gas safety and fire compliance certification for commercial premises
Commercial Compliance Certification
Commercial compliance certification covers the statutory inspections and certificates commercial premises typically need — an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), gas safety inspection of commercial appliances, and fire safety compliance documentation — carried out by appropriately qualified engineers for each certificate type.
Definition
What Compliance (EICR/Gas/Fire) covers
Commercial and multi-let premises carry a wider set of statutory compliance obligations than a single domestic rental property, often needing several certificate types together: an EICR covering the electrical installation, a gas safety inspection and record for any commercial gas appliances, and fire safety compliance items such as fire door and emergency lighting certification arising from a fire risk assessment. This service scopes and coordinates the relevant inspections for a commercial or multi-let property, rather than a single domestic certificate.
Suitable for
- Commercial landlords or business owners needing EICR, gas safety or fire compliance certificates
- Businesses renewing insurance or meeting lease compliance requirements
- Portfolio landlords wanting compliance coordinated across multiple certificate types and properties
- Premises preparing for a compliance audit or due diligence check
Not suitable for
- A single domestic rental property's EICR or landlord gas safety certificate — see our electrical and gas services pages for the standard residential certificate
- The statutory fire risk assessment itself — we act on the remedial recommendations of an assessment carried out by a qualified fire risk assessor
Process
How the work is carried out
- 01
Scoping
Establishing which certificates and inspections the premises needs, based on its size, use and existing compliance status.
- 02
Inspection
Carrying out the relevant inspection — electrical testing, gas safety checks, or fire compliance items — by an appropriately qualified engineer for each.
- 03
Remedial quotation
Identifying and quoting separately for any remedial work the inspection flags.
- 04
Certification
Issuing the relevant certificate — EICR, gas safety record, or fire compliance documentation.
Typical timescale
A single certificate inspection is typically completed within a day, depending on the size of the premises; coordinating multiple certificate types together is scheduled around the premises' availability.
Cost guidance
Commercial compliance certification typically costs £150–£800 per certificate in our area, with the number of circuits or appliances, the size of the premises, and how many certificate types are required together pushing the price toward the top of the range. We provide an itemised quotation after a site visit rather than a fixed headline price.
Limitations and exclusions
- Electrical inspection is carried out by an electrician qualified to BS 7671; gas inspection only by a Gas Safe registered engineer holding the relevant commercial category
- Any remedial work identified during inspection is quoted separately from the certification visit itself
- A full fire risk assessment is a distinct specialist service; we act on resulting remedial items such as fire doors and emergency lighting rather than carrying out the statutory assessment itself

FAQs
Compliance (EICR/Gas/Fire) FAQs
How is this different from a standard landlord gas certificate or EICR?
This service is scoped for commercial and multi-let premises, which often need several certificate types coordinated together and cover more circuits or appliances than a single residential rental. Standard domestic landlord certificates are covered by our gas services and electrical pages.
How often do commercial EICR and gas safety checks need renewing?
Gas safety inspections for commercial appliances are typically required annually. EICR renewal intervals depend on the type and use of the premises and are usually stated as a recommendation on the report itself — we confirm the exact interval for your building during inspection.
Can you carry out all our compliance certificates in one visit?
We can scope and coordinate EICR, gas safety and fire compliance inspections together where it suits the premises, though each is carried out by an appropriately qualified engineer for that specific certificate type.
