With over 40 years of experience in the UK construction industry, I have provided design and consultancy services to leading façade suppliers across the UK and Europe. In 2024, I expanded my expertise by becoming a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor, allowing me to carry out EPC assessments and provide accurate energy ratings for residential properties.
As a lifelong resident of Burwell, I am passionate about supporting local businesses and offering valuable services to my community.
An EPC assessment (Energy Performance Certificate) rates the energy efficiency and environmental impact of a property. A EPC rating on a scale from A to G (where A is the most efficient and G the least efficient). Commonly referred to as an domestic EPC, it is a document which is required when a property is to be sold or rented out.
If you are selling your property a sale cannot legally be completed by the buyers or sellers solicitor unless it has a valid EPC in place on the official EPC Register.
For rentals, all private rental properties they must achieve an energy efficiency rating of at least E on their Energy Performance Certificate. If your property has an F or G Rating you may not be allowed to rent it out unless it is covered by a statutory exemption.
The information on the EPC will help you make your property more energy efficient and allow potential buyers or tenants to compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
I will provide your domestic EPC at a fair fixed price with no 'extra' costs on the day. The price I quote is the price you will pay.
The EPC rating will be logged on the EPC register when completed.
I cover Burwell, Newmarket, Fordham, Exning, Swaffham Prior/Bulbeck, Wicken, Soham, Reach and all of the surrounding villages in the
CB25 post code area.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Ensure as many of your fixed light fittings as possible have low energy lamps. This simple change can positively impact your EPC rating.
If you have a hot water cylinder, make sure it has plenty of insulation. Good insulation significantly improves your EPC rating.
Proper loft insulation is crucial. If we cannot see the loft insulation due to lack of access or boarding, we must report the insulation as 'unknown,' which can negatively affect your EPC rating. Have any paperwork ready to prove loft insulation is fitted and clear access on the day of the survey.
Cavity wall insulation can greatly enhance your EPC rating. If your property has been rendered post-installation, and the insulation isn't visible, this may lower your EPC rating as we must assume there is none. Ensure you have paperwork to prove cavity wall insulation.
If your double glazed windows were installed after 2002, and the date isn't visible, have the paperwork available to show the installation date. This can positively influence your EPC.
The exact make and model of your gas or oil heating boiler can determine its efficiency rating, which affects your EPC score. If identifying the boiler details through visual inspection is difficult, provide any information manuals or service history to establish its efficiency. This can lead to a higher EPC rating compared to using the software's default settings.
