Professional EPC Survey
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement when selling or letting a property. It measures your property’s energy efficiency and rates it from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Our qualified assessors inspect heating, lighting, insulation, and other key areas to create an accurate EPC report. The certificate is unique to each property and remains valid for 10 years.
At Stonebridge Surveying, we ensure your EPC survey is carried out with precision, helping you stay compliant and energy aware.
What is involved in an EPC survey?
Our certified assessor visits your property to inspect heating, lighting, insulation, windows, and other key features. Using observations, measurements, and photographs, they gather the data needed to calculate your energy efficiency. Commercial and domestic surveys differ slightly, but both follow UK-approved methods to ensure accurate results.
Why do you need an EPC survey?
An EPC is a legal requirement when selling or letting a property. It gives buyers and tenants clear information about energy efficiency and helps market your property more effectively. Even if you’re not selling, an EPC can highlight improvements to cut bills and boost energy performance.
How do you assess EPC rating?
We assess insulation, heating, ventilation, and overall efficiency before grading the property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Domestic surveys usually take 30–40 minutes, while larger commercial properties require more time.
