Great efficiency — maintain it
Your property is performing well. Our assessors can identify any remaining opportunities to reach the A band.
Valid for 10 Years
Once issued, your EPC is lodged on the national register and valid for a decade from the assessment date.
Legally Required
An EPC is required by law when selling or renting any property in England, Wales, and Scotland.
SAP Calculations
SAP (the Standard Assessment Procedure) is the Government's official method for assessing the energy performance of new dwellings — and a legal requirement under Building Regulations Part L for every new home, conversion and change-of-use project.
We produce a Design-Stage SAP and Predicted EPC from your plans, flag any compliance gaps while they're still cheap to fix, then finalise the As-Built SAP and lodge your EPC on completion.
Design-Stage SAP

MEES Compliance
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards make it unlawful to let a property with an EPC below E — with penalties of up to £5,000 per domestic property and up to £150,000 for commercial premises.
We audit your portfolio, pinpoint every property below the threshold, and give you a clear, costed roadmap to a compliant rating — then re-assess and re-certify. We also future-proof against the expected rise toward EPC C.

Improvement Roadmap

Air Tightness Testing
Air tightness (air permeability) testing measures uncontrolled air leakage through the building envelope using calibrated blower-door equipment — a mandatory part of demonstrating Part L compliance for new builds.
The measured result feeds straight into your as-built SAP and final EPC. We test to the recognised standard, issue certificates the same day on a pass, and help trace and seal leakage paths if a retest is needed.
Blower-Door Testing
Calibrated equipment measures air leakage to a certifiable result.
Accredited & Registered
Testing to the recognised standard, accepted by Building Control.
Same-Day Certificates
Pass and get your certificate the same day — no programme delays.
Diagnostics & Advice
We help trace leakage paths so your retest passes cleanly.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about EPCs and our assessment service.
An EPC is a legal document that rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's required by law when selling, letting, or building a property in the UK. Our government-accredited assessors carry out a non-invasive survey and lodge the certificate on the national register — valid for 10 years.
