Our Process

Secure Your Booking

Contact us via our online form or call directly to schedule your assessment. We understand that property sales and rentals move fast, so we aim to offer site visit appointments within 24–48 hours of your initial enquiry

Your Site Survey

A qualified energy assessor will visit your property. The survey typically takes 45–60 minutes, during which we’ll inspect your heating systems, insulation, windows, and lighting. We pride ourselves on being punctual, professional, and respectful of your home

Fast Lodgement

Once the data is processed, we calculate your rating and officially lodge the certificate on the Government EPC Register. You will receive a digital copy via email within 24 hours of our visit

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our pricing is transparent and competitive, starting from £100 for a standard domestic property of up to 150m2. Unlike national "panel" agencies that add a middleman fee, you are booking directly with a local Carlisle assessor. This ensures you get the best rate and a faster turnaround without the agency markup

  • Not at all. An EPC assessment is purely technical. We look at the "bones" of the building—your insulation, boiler, glazing, and lighting. General clutter, decor, or cleanliness have zero impact on your energy score. You don't need to spend days tidying; we just need clear access to your loft hatch and boiler

  • A low rating isn't the end of the road—it’s a roadmap. If your property underperforms, we don't just hand you a "fail." As Retrofit Specialists, we provide a tailored Recommendation Report showing the most cost-effective "quick wins" (like LED lighting or loft top-ups) to get you above the legal 'E' or 'C' thresholds quickly

  • We aim to make this as easy as possible. While many homeowners prefer to be there, we are fully insured and happy to collect keys from your estate agent or a trusted neighbour in the Carlisle/Penrith area. We’ll perform the survey and lock up securely, so you don't have to miss a minute of your day

  • We specialise in 24-hour turnarounds. Once the 45-60 minute site visit is complete, we process the data and lodge it on the Government Register within 24 hours. You’ll receive a digital link immediately, ensuring your solicitor or letting agent has exactly what they need to keep your deal moving
