Gas safety, EICR and EPC providers: who may do each, and their prices
Who may carry out a landlord’s gas safety check, electrical inspection (EICR) and EPC in England, the register each must be on, and four providers’ published prices, read on their own sites on 25 October 2026. Listed A to Z, not ranked. LetCompliance, the software that runs the let and keeps each certificate’s date, is set out first and arranges no inspections.

LetCompliance, the publisher’s own software
Runs the let beside every firm here
Landlord software for the whole let: adverts and applications, the tenancy and its signatures, rent and Direct Debit, arrears and the Section 8 notice, repairs, deposits, certificates and Making Tax Digital for UK property income.
From £7.99 a month for one property.
A gas safety check is done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, whose number you can check on the Gas Safe Register. An EICR is done by a qualified person, anyone competent to inspect and test to the standard; no single scheme is required, and GOV.UK points to the Registered Competent Person Electrical register. An EPC is done by an energy assessor in an accreditation scheme, found on GOV.UK’s assessor search. Four providers’ published prices, read on 25 October 2026, are below. LetCompliance runs the let around the certificates: each date on the property, with reminders at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before it runs out. From £7.99 a month for one property.

What LetCompliance does beside your engineer and assessor
The engineer, the electrician and the assessor do the inspections. LetCompliance runs the let around them: each certificate’s date on the property, the reminders before it runs out, the copy the tenant must have, and the job sent to your own contractor.
Every date, with a reminder ladder
Gas safety, EICR and EPC dates for every property, soonest first on one renewals list, with an email at 90, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before each one runs out. The list goes out as a CSV for whoever does the work.
On every plan
Dates read from the file
Upload certificates in bulk and the type, address and dates are read from each file; a confident reading fills the date in. An unsatisfactory EICR, an at-risk gas finding or an EPC of F or G is flagged for you, never applied for you.
On every plan
The tenant’s copy, on record
The move-in pack sends a new tenant the statutory documents in one email, each one logged, and the tenant portal shows the current certificates.
On every plan
Your own engineer, with their numbers
Keep your contractors with the properties they cover, their Gas Safe number, competent person scheme and insurance expiry, and send them the job. The numbers are yours: the app does not check them against the registers.
On paid plans and the trial
The compliance pack
One property’s certificates and records in one PDF, for a council, an agent or a buyer who asks.
On every plan
What it does not do. LetCompliance does not carry out or arrange gas safety checks, EICRs or EPCs, and does not check an engineer, electrician or assessor against a register. You arrange the visit with the person you choose.
LetCompliance publishes this guide and is landlord software. It is not one of the firms compared below and is not ranked against them.
Plans are one price for each size of portfolio, never a charge per property, a month: £7.99 for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number. Every new landlord account starts with a 3-day trial and no card.

Four certificate providers, A to Z
Prices as each provider’s own page showed them on 25 October 2026. None of the four pages says whether its prices include VAT, so ask. Registers are as each provider states them; LetCompliance has not checked an engineer, electrician or assessor on a register.
| Provider | What it offers | Published prices (read 25 October 2026) | Registers, as stated | Company (Companies House) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| British Gas (gas safety and EICR) | A gas safety certificate with a boiler service, and EICRs priced by the number of bedrooms. Its EICR page says you need not be a British Gas customer. No EPC on the pages read. |
Read on britishgas.co.uk/landlords and its EICR page | Its EICR page says the work is done by qualified electricians; no scheme is named on the pages read. | BRITISH GAS NEW HEATING LIMITED, 06723244 Incorporated 14 October 2008.

Read on fantasticservices.com, electrical safety certificate | States that its electricians are qualified and insured; no scheme is named on the page read. | Its footer says Fantastic Services LTD. Several Fantastic companies are on Companies House, so the one behind this page is not confirmed. |

| States that its EICRs are done by NICEIC approved electricians and its gas safety records by Gas Safe registered engineers. | MY LANDLORD CERTIFICATE LTD, 17265132 Incorporated 5 June 2026.

The fixed part
Who may do each check in England, and on which register
- Gas: each gas appliance and flue the duty covers (it leaves out an appliance the tenant is entitled to remove) checked at least every 12 months by, or by an employee of, a member of a class of persons approved by the Health and Safety Executive. HSE says that means a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the engineer’s registration number goes on the record. A copy of the record goes to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check, and to a new tenant before they move in (Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, regulation 36; HSE).
- Electrics: an inspection and test of the installation by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the last report says so. A qualified person is anyone competent to do the inspection, the testing and any further work to the electrical safety standards; no single scheme is named (Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector and Social Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, regulation 3). GOV.UK points landlords to the Registered Competent Person Electrical register and Electrical Safety First’s finder (guidance).
- The electrical report goes to each existing tenant within 28 days of the inspection, and to a new tenant before they move in. Further investigative or remedial work the report calls for is done by a qualified person within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so (regulation 3). A council can impose a financial penalty of up to £40,000 for a breach (regulation 11).
- EPC: the assessor is an energy assessor, which regulation 2 defines as a member of an accreditation scheme, and a valid EPC is made available to a prospective tenant at the earliest opportunity, and no later than when written information is given or a viewing takes place (Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, regulation 2 and regulation 6). Find one on GOV.UK’s assessor search.
- Appliances: the duty to check landlord-supplied appliances that the 2020 regulations gained in 2025 (regulation 3A onwards) applies to registered providers of social housing, not to private landlords. A PAT test is not one of a private landlord’s duties under these regulations (the regulations as amended). A licence is different: every HMO or selective licence must require you to keep the electrical appliances and furniture you supply safe, and to give the council a declaration of their safety on demand (Housing Act 2004, Schedule 4, paragraph 1(3)).
Before you choose
What to check
The register, by number
Ask for the engineer’s Gas Safe number before the visit: it goes on the gas safety record. Ask an electrician which competent person scheme they belong to, and an EPC assessor which accreditation scheme.
What the price covers
Gas prices may be for a set number of appliances, or include a boiler service; EICR prices go by bedrooms or circuits, and extra consumer units and circuits cost more. Ask before you compare.
VAT
None of the four price pages here says whether VAT is included. Ask for the price in all.
The tenant’s copy
The 28 days for an existing tenant’s copy run from the check or the inspection, not from when the paperwork reaches you. Ask how soon the report comes.
Before you rely on this page
This page is not legal advice. It sets out what each provider publishes, read on one day; prices change. Get the price and what it covers in writing before you agree a visit.
Check an engineer on the Gas Safe Register, an electrician on the Registered Competent Person Electrical register and an EPC assessor on GOV.UK’s assessor search. No link on this page earns LetCompliance a fee.
Method
How this page was put together
- Fees: each firm’s own pages, read on 25 October 2026, without making an account, booking anything or asking for a quote. Every fee is given as the page gave it, with VAT as the page states it, and a fee a page does not publish is marked as not published.
- Companies: Companies House for the company behind each firm, read the same day. Where a firm’s pages give no company number, the company found on the register under the name it gives or trades as is shown, and the cell says so; where none could be matched, the cell says that too.
- Regulators and memberships: as a register shows them where the line names the register and the day it was read, and otherwise in the firm’s own words. A membership a firm states has not been confirmed with the body unless the line says so.
- Not ranked: the firms are listed A to Z. Nothing was bought or tried; this is a desk comparison of published pages and public registers. Any link that pays LetCompliance a fee is marked Sponsored; the links here go to the pages that were read.
- LetCompliance publishes this guide and makes landlord software. It is set out first because it is the publisher’s own product, and it is not compared with the firms.

FAQs
Questions landlords ask
Who can issue a landlord gas safety certificate?
A Gas Safe registered engineer. The law asks for a member of a class of persons approved by the Health and Safety Executive, HSE says that means Gas Safe registration, and the engineer’s registration number goes on the record. Check it on the Gas Safe Register before the visit.
Who can do an EICR for a rented home?
A qualified person, which the 2020 regulations define as someone competent to do the inspection and testing and any further work to the electrical safety standards. No single scheme is required; GOV.UK points to the Registered Competent Person Electrical register and Electrical Safety First’s finder.
Do private landlords need a PAT test?
The 2020 electrical safety regulations do not ask a private landlord for one: the appliance checks added to them in 2025 apply to registered providers of social housing. Under them, a private landlord’s duty is the inspection and testing of the installation at least every five years. If the property is licensed (HMO or selective licensing), every licence must require you to keep the electrical appliances you supply safe and to give the council a declaration of their safety on demand (Housing Act 2004, Schedule 4, paragraph 1(3)).
Can one provider do the gas, electrical and EPC checks?
Some can. Of the four here, My Landlord Certificate publishes gas safety, EICR and EPC prices, and £230 for all three on one to three bedrooms in London and the M25 (read 25 October 2026). British Gas offers gas safety and EICRs, and EPC UK offers EPCs. Whoever does the work, each person must be on the right register for that check.
Does LetCompliance arrange certificates?
No. It is the software that runs the let: it keeps each certificate’s date with reminders before it runs out, reads the dates from files you upload, flags an unsatisfactory finding, and sends the job to the engineer or electrician you already use. You arrange the visit with them.
