A professional 2D floor plan is the most effective way to showcase internal space and layout. Perfect for estate agent particulars and online listings, our plans provide prospective occupants with an instant understanding of property flow across Sussex.
We provide standalone floor planning services specifically designed for residential marketing. Using handheld laser measuring tools, we capture the core layout to ensure your marketing materials are professional and ready for listing on platforms like Rightmove.
Provide your estate agent with a clean, digital layout ready for brochures and major portals like Rightmove and Zoopla.
A floor plan allows buyers to visualise the flow of a property—something that even the best photographs can struggle to convey in isolation.
Listings with floor plans generate more high-quality leads. By detailing room sizes and positions, you answer a buyer's most important questions before they book a viewing, ensuring more serious interest in your Sussex property.

Commercial floor plans are more than just a layout; they are required for lease agreements and essential for fire safety and occupancy planning.
For smaller retail units and offices under 1,000 sq ft, engineers provide a transparent fixed-rate service. This ensures high-quality 2D scale plans without the need for complex quotes.
For premises exceeding 1,000 sq ft, such as warehouses or multi-storey offices, pricing is on a 'Price on Application' (POA) basis to reflect the site’s specific scale and complexity.
Q: How long does an EPC assessment take?
An EPC assessment typically takes less than an hour. However, the duration may vary depending on the complexity of the property’s layout, such as loft conversions, extensions, or other unique features.
Q: Do I need to be present during the EPC assessment?
While it’s not necessary for you to be present during the assessment, it can be helpful to answer any questions the assessor may have about the property. The assessment usually involves a walk-through to gather information about the building’s energy use.
Q: How long is an EPC certificate valid for?
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years. However, you may want to have your property reassessed sooner if you’ve made significant improvements to its energy efficiency.
Q: Is an EPC required for renting out my property?
Yes, in the UK, an EPC is required for properties being rented or sold. Landlords must provide a valid EPC to tenants at the start of a tenancy. The rating must be at least an E to meet legal requirements.
Q: How long does an EICR assessment take?
An EICR assessment typically takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the electrical system. Larger properties with more circuits or older systems may take longer to inspect.
Q: Do I need to be present during the EICR assessment?
It’s not necessary for you to be present, but it can be helpful if you’re available to answer any questions or provide access to areas like fuse boards or electrical installations.
Q: What happens during an EICR assessment?
The assessor will examine your property’s electrical installation, including wiring, fuse boards, and electrical appliances, to ensure they meet safety standards. They will check for any potential hazards, such as overloaded circuits or faulty wiring, and identify any necessary improvements.
Q: How long is an EICR certificate valid for?
An EICR is valid for 5 years or until there is a significant change to the electrical system, such as a renovation or major electrical work.
Q: How long does a Gas Safety Certificate inspection take?
A Gas Safety Certificate inspection typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the property and the number of gas appliances that need to be checked. Larger properties or those with multiple gas appliances may take a little longer.
Q: Do I need to be present during the Gas Safety Certificate inspection?
It’s not required for you to be present during the inspection, but it can be helpful if you’re available to provide access to gas appliances, such as boilers, ovens, and gas meters. The inspector will need to check these systems for safety.
Q: Is a Gas Safety Certificate required for rental properties?
Yes, landlords must ensure that all gas appliances in a rental property are inspected and have a valid Gas Safety Certificate every year. This certificate must be provided to tenants at the start of the tenancy and upon renewal of the certificate.
Q: What happens if my Gas Safety Certificate inspection reveals a problem?
If the inspection reveals any safety concerns or issues, the engineer will provide a report with details of the problems and may advise on necessary repairs or improvements. In the case of a serious safety issue, the appliance may need to be disconnected until it is properly repaired.
