Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Why HMOs Face Unique Energy Challenges

Managing an HMO brings specific challenges, from thermal bridging in complex layouts to the structural requirements of older property types like Victorian terraces. Many older buildings in our region suffer from significant heat loss, which translates to high energy bills and potential condensation issues. Our retrofit approach focuses on identifying these weak points, using thermal modelling to ensure that our insulation and rendering solutions deliver measurable improvements in your property's EPC rating.

Our PAS 2035 Retrofit and Insulation Process

Quality is at the heart of our service, which is why we strictly adhere to PAS 2035 retrofit standards. We begin every project with a detailed retrofit assessment to understand the specific needs of your building. Depending on the construction, we may recommend External Wall Insulation (EWI) to provide a weather-tight thermal envelope or Internal Wall Insulation (IWI) to preserve external aesthetics in conservation areas. Our process is designed to be minimally disruptive, ensuring your tenants experience as little inconvenience as possible during the installation.

How do we help landlords avoid MEES penalties?

The path to an EPC C rating involves more than just swapping out light bulbs; it requires a fabric-first approach to building performance. By installing high-performance insulation and modern rendering systems, we effectively reduce the energy demand of your rental property. Our team handles the technical compliance and regulatory documentation, ensuring your property meets the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). We work closely with property owners to future-proof their portfolios against upcoming decarbonisation legislation.

What Our Clients Say About Global Plastering

"Excellent work the team removing our old 1970's cladding and replacing it with insulation and a rendered finish. The job went smooth from start to finish with all old materials removed from site. We are very pleased with the end result and would thoroughly recommend Global Plastering."

A. Jenkins (Ferndale)

"Dilwyn and his team were brilliant and made a lovely job of our EWI. They were very friendly, hard-working, and left no mess at the end of each day. Our house looks great and we can definitely feel the benefits of the insulation already. I'm very glad we chose EWI especially with energy costs as they are now."

G. Toogood (Bristol)

"Charlotte and the team were professional, reliable, and excellent at communicating throughout. They did a fantastic job of skimming and rendering the back of our house during our renovation. Superb quality of work and highly recommended!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about HMO EPC upgrades, MEES compliance, and our PAS 2035 retrofit services in South Wales and South West England.

What is the minimum EPC rating for HMOs in 2024?

+

Currently, the minimum standard is an E. However, the government has proposed that all new tenancies must reach a C by 2025/2026, with all existing tenancies hitting that mark by 2028-2030. Even if the deadlines shift slightly, the trend is clear: D and E rated properties will soon be unrentable legally.

How does External Wall Insulation help my EPC score?

+

In many older Ferndale properties, the walls are "solid," meaning they have no cavity to fill. These walls lose heat incredibly fast. EWI acts like a thermal tea cosy for your house. Because it is so effective at stopping heat loss, it is often the single biggest "point-scorer" on an EPC assessment for a Victorian or Edwardian building.

Do I need planning permission for EWI on my HMO?

+

In many cases, EWI falls under permitted development. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, rules change. We can help you navigate this, and if you are in a terrace where EWI might change the look of the street, we can discuss finishes like brick-slips that mimic the original look while providing modern warmth.

Is Internal Wall Insulation a better option for HMOs?

+

IWI is great if you want to keep the external look of the building exactly as it is, or if planning rules prevent EWI. The downside is that it reduces the room's internal dimensions slightly. In an HMO, where room sizes are strictly regulated by the council, you have to be careful not to make a room too small to be legally let. We can advise on the thinnest, most efficient materials to prevent this.

How long does an energy retrofit take?

+

It depends on the size of the house, but a typical terraced HMO can usually be insulated and rendered externally in 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the weather. We work efficiently to make sure there is minimal disruption to your tenants.
