Help us to help you!

It is in everyone's interest to gain an accurate reading for your property. An EPC inspection is non-invasive, we will not drill holes or take risks to identify all energy-saving characteristics of your building. Please help us to help you: If possible arrange for parking on-site. It is vital that we have correct address and postcode. All rooms need to be accessible as well as access to the outside. If tenants are living in the property, it is your responsibility to explain what is happening and ensure easy access. If tenants are reluctant to allow access, we will cancel the inspection and fees will be retained. If we cannot see insulation we will have to record 'as built'. Unfortunately we cannot take your word for it. Please have paperwork from any building work available for us to copy. We will need to enter your loft space. Similarly, if you have new windows, please have any paperwork available. Boiler, hot water tank, meters, solar panels etc all have to be inspected. Again, it is really important to make any paperwork available. A simple and cheap way to improve your EPC ratings is to have low-power LED light bulbs installed. We count these and old fashioned bulbs reduce your rating. Plug-in table and floor lamps are not assessed. Draft - proofing on doors and windows will also help, so leave these in place.
