Our Core Services
We offer a full suite of compliance services, so you don’t have to juggle different providers or coordinate multiple visits. It’s one streamlined process, from booking to final report.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
An EPC is required for every home or commercial unit being sold, rented, or constructed in the UK. Our certified assessors carry out onsite inspections and deliver official EPCs you can submit, share, or publish with your listings. We handle both domestic and non-domestic buildings, no matter the size.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
Electrical safety has become a non-negotiable for rented properties. Avocet provides professional EICR inspections to ensure all wiring, sockets, fuse boards, and circuits meet the current regulations. Our reports help you identify risks early and avoid enforcement notices or insurance issues.
Gas Safety Checks (CP12)
Landlords are required by law to carry out annual gas safety inspections. We send Gas Safe registered engineers to inspect your property’s gas systems, appliances, and ventilation. After the check, you’ll receive your official CP12 certificate — with everything clearly documented.
SAP Calculations & New Build Assessments
If you’re working on a new build, conversion, or extension, you’ll need a SAP calculation to comply with building regulations. Avocet works with developers and contractors to provide fast turnaround on SAP assessments and related EPCs, ensuring you meet Part L standards without holding up your project.
