Avoid Unexpected Problems— Why a Retrofit Survey Is matters…
- Identifies insulation upgrades – that meet PAS-compliant standards for safe, effective home improvements.
- Highlights areas of heat loss – in walls, roofs, and floors before any building work begins.
- Provides clear guidance – on the most suitable insulation methods for your property type.
- Ensures planned upgrades follow – a whole-house, fabric-first approach for long-term performance.
- Helps you prioritise insulation improvements – by impact, cost, and energy-saving potential.
- Reduces the risk of future issues – by assessing ventilation needs alongside insulation measures.
- Supports access to grants or funding – that require PAS-aligned recommendations.

In simple terms: no valid EPC can mean no sale, no tenancy, and possible penalties. Our job is to make sure that never becomes your problem.
Who Needs an EPC?
If you’re asking, “Do I need an EPC?” the answer is almost always yes if:
You’re a homeowner planning to sell or remortgage
You’re a landlord starting a new tenancy or renewing a tenancy
You’re a property manager dealing with multiple flats, houses or mixed-use buildings
You’re a developer with new-builds or conversions
You’re a professional advisor (estate agent, mortgage broker, solicitor) supporting clients who must stay compliant
If the building is being marketed for sale or rent, or has just been built or significantly altered, an EPC is almost always required.
Not sure? Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll confirm whether you need one and what type.
How Does an EPC Assessment Work?
If you’ve never booked an EPC before, it can sound more complicated than it really is. Here’s how our process works from start to finish.
Step 1 – Get a Free, No-Obligation Quote
You share a few basic details:
Property type (house, flat, unit, etc.)
Size and number of floors
Location
Intended use (sale, let, remortgage, compliance check)
We’ll confirm a clear fixed price and offer you the earliest appointment.
Step 2 – Book Your Survey
We arrange a visit time that suits you. On the day, a qualified EPC assessor will:
Inspect walls, roofs, floors and windows
Check heating systems, boilers and controls
Look at lighting, insulation and hot water systems
Take measurements and photos for the report
Most surveys take 30–90 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the building.
Step 3 – We Produce Your EPC
Back at the office, we enter all the data into accredited software. This generates your:
Energy rating (A–G)
Estimated energy costs
Recommended improvements
We then lodge your certificate on the official register and email you a digital copy.
Step 4 – We Explain the Results
If you’d like, we’ll walk you through:
What your rating means
Which recommendations are worth doing first
How upgrades could affect future ratings
You don’t just get a piece of paper — you get a clear plan.

Plan smarter home upgrades with a professional retrofit survey that identifies heat loss, improves efficiency, and helps reduce energy bills.
Improved Home Comfort
A Retrofit Survey identifies where insulation is lacking and where heat is being lost, helping create a warmer, more stable indoor environment. By addressing drafts, cold spots, and poor‑performing fabric elements, your home becomes more comfortable all year round.
Lower Energy Bills
With targeted insulation upgrades and PAS‑aligned recommendations, this survey helps reduce the amount of energy your home needs to stay warm. Improving walls, roofs, and floors leads to long‑term savings and noticeably lower monthly heating costs.
Future‑Proofed Home Improvements
A retrofit survey ensures any planned building work starts with a strong fabric‑first approach. This reduces the risk of mistakes, supports future renewable installations, and increases your property’s overall value. Clear, data‑driven guidance helps you invest in improvements that last and meet modern efficiency standards.

Questions & Answers
A retrofit survey is a detailed assessment of your home’s energy performance before carrying out improvement works. It evaluates insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and building fabric to identify areas where heat loss occurs. The survey provides PAS-aligned recommendations for energy-efficient upgrades that improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and support long-term home efficiency.
A retrofit survey ensures any planned home improvements follow a fabric-first approach. This means insulation, ventilation, and structural performance are assessed before installing new heating systems or renewable technologies. By identifying potential issues early, homeowners can avoid costly mistakes and ensure upgrades improve energy efficiency effectively.
A retrofit survey examines the main elements that affect a property’s energy efficiency. This includes walls, roofs, floors, insulation levels, heating systems, ventilation, and areas of heat loss. The survey also considers renewable energy opportunities and provides a clear roadmap for energy-efficient upgrades that meet modern efficiency standards.
Yes. A retrofit survey identifies the most effective insulation upgrades and energy improvements for your property. By improving insulation, reducing heat loss, and ensuring efficient heating systems, homeowners can significantly reduce their energy consumption. These improvements often lead to lower monthly heating costs and long-term savings.
Many government schemes and funding programmes require PAS-compliant retrofit assessments before approving energy improvement grants. A retrofit survey provides the documentation and recommendations needed to support grant applications for insulation upgrades, heating improvements, and other energy-efficient home upgrades.
A retrofit survey typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the property. During the visit, the assessor reviews insulation, ventilation, heating systems, and structural elements that influence energy efficiency. After the inspection, recommendations are prepared to guide future improvements.
