What compliance does your commercial property need?
Answer seven quick questions and we'll list every obligation that applies to your premises, from fire, electrical and gas to EPC, water and asbestos, including the ones most owners don't know they have. Tick the services you want quotes for, and we'll match each to the right qualified provider in one go.
Qualified people, matched to each obligation.
Compliance is not one trade. A fire risk assessment, an electrical inspection and a gas safety record each need someone with a different accreditation. The check sends every service you tick to the right kind of provider, so you are not left working out who does what.
Photographs are illustrative.
From a few questions to quotes in hand, in four steps.
You tell us about the building, we tell you what the law expects of it, and you decide what to get quotes for. One form covers every service.
Tell us about the property
Seven quick questions: property type, size, age, air conditioning, gas, water systems and your situation. It takes about a minute and you do not need any paperwork to hand.
See what applies to you
We list every legal duty and recommended service for your premises, each with a plain-English reason, so you can see what you need and what you may have missed.
Choose what you want quotes for
Everything is ticked to start with. Untick anything you already have covered, then give us one set of contact details for all of it.
Compare quotes and get up to date
We match each service to qualified providers who cover your area. They contact you directly with no-obligation quotes, usually within a day, and you choose who to book.

The gaps are cheap to close and expensive to leave.
Most compliance duties cost a few hundred pounds to meet. The consequences of missing one are on a different scale, which is why it pays to know where you stand.
