A bit more about what we do...
EPC’s
Energy Performance Certificates were introduced in England and Wales in 2007 and are a legal requirement for a building to be sold, let or constructed. Once obtained, an EPC is valid for 10 years.
The most efficient homes – which should have the lowest fuel bills – are in band A. The Certificate also tells you, on a scale of A-G, about the impact the home has on the environment. Better-rated homes should have less impact through Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The average property in the UK is in bands D-E for both ratings. The Certificate includes recommendations on ways to improve the home’s energy efficiency to save you money and help the environment. EPCs apply also to commercial buildings and are rated only by Carbon Dioxide emission ratings on a scale of A-G.
Property Photographs & Floor Plans
A great quality photograph can sell a property. Why not use us to take a selection of, high quality, images while we are at the property undertaking the EPC assessment. A selection of high quality images will make sure your property is advertised well.
We can take 15 professional photos to save you time and effort.
We draft each floorplan on site including all the measurements. You receive a plan of the highest quality that can be used for any marketing or website as well as printed to any size.
You receive the plans the very next day we have been to site. If you would like name changes to rooms, or have spotted and amendment that may be needed we make all changes free and the same day.
Cavity Wall & Loft Surveys
We work with ECO installers to assess properties for suitability to have cavity wall insulation installed. We can also survey the level of loft insulation to check the loft is insulated to current standards.
Retrofit Assessments
What is a Retrofit Assessment? – In simple terms it is improving the energy efficiency of the dwelling via a whole house retrofit programme. The eventual aim is what you, the client, would like this to be, and could include a number of measures from improving insulation, replacing a heating system, improving ventilation and indoor air quality, installing renewable technologies or all of these. It can be undertaken on a room by room basis over a period of time, or the whole dwelling in one period. It can be a way of dealing with other problems like damp, mould and condensation issues too and of course should result in lower energy bills and reduce co2 emissions.
Heat Loss Surveys for Heat Pumps
To ensure that your heat pump will do the job of heating your home a heat loss survey needs to be undertaken and there is only one way to do this with accuracy.
We undertake a full survey of the your property, its construction and insulation levels. This is a long process on site and will take time to complete.
Dimensions of all rooms need to be recorded together with, all window measurements, wall construction, floor construction, loft insulation levels and radiators present. With this information we can work out the output of the heat pump you require.
PV Solar Surveys
We complete an on site survey to assess a property for the suitability of installing PV Solar.
