Energy Services

A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a residential property. It provides recommendations for improving efficiency, helping homeowners and landlords reduce energy bills and environmental impact. An EPC is required when selling or renting a home in the UK.

Commercial EPCs assess the energy efficiency of non-residential buildings, such as offices, shops, and warehouses. They are required for selling or leasing commercial properties and help businesses identify ways to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.

Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) Assessments are required for new builds and conversions to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations. They calculate a property's energy performance and help you achieve the best possible EPC rating for your project.

Air tightness testing measures how much air leaks from a building, helping to ensure energy efficiency and comfort. It is a legal requirement for new buildings under Part L of the Building Regulations, and supports good ventilation practices under Part F.

Extract fan testing checks the performance of ventilation fans in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas. Proper testing ensures fans are removing moisture and pollutants effectively, helping to prevent damp and improve indoor air quality.

Extract fan balancing ensures that all fans in a ventilation system are working together efficiently. Balancing helps maintain consistent airflow, reduces noise, and improves the overall effectiveness of the ventilation system.

Borescope inspections use a small camera to look inside walls, cavities, or ductwork without causing damage. This service helps identify hidden issues such as blockages, leaks, or insulation problems in hard-to-reach areas.

Legionella risk assessments identify potential sources of Legionella bacteria in water systems and assess the risk of Legionnaires' disease. This service is essential for compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly for landlords and property managers.

Condition surveys provide a comprehensive assessment of a property's current state, including structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and overall condition. These surveys are crucial for property owners, buyers, and sellers to make informed decisions.

Thermographic surveys use infrared cameras to detect heat loss, insulation gaps, and moisture problems in buildings. This non-invasive method helps pinpoint areas where energy efficiency can be improved.

Heat loss calculations determine how much heat escapes from a building. These calculations are essential for designing effective insulation and heating systems, ensuring comfort and reducing energy costs.

Retrofit surveys assess a property's current condition and identify opportunities for energy-saving improvements. These surveys are the first step in planning upgrades to meet modern energy efficiency standards.

Retrofit design involves creating a detailed plan for upgrading a building's energy performance. This includes selecting appropriate materials, technologies, and methods to achieve the desired efficiency improvements.

Retrofit coordination manages the entire upgrade process, ensuring all improvements are carried out efficiently and to a high standard. The coordinator oversees contractors, schedules, and quality control.

Retrofit approval is the process of certifying that all energy efficiency upgrades meet regulatory standards and best practices. This step is essential for compliance and for accessing certain grants or incentives.

Funding streams refer to the various grants, loans, and incentives available to help property owners finance energy efficiency improvements. We can advise on the best options to support your retrofit or upgrade project.
