FAQs
Compliance (EICR/Gas/Fire) in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide compliance (eicr/gas/fire) across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
