Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Why landlords in Rhondda Cynon Taf must act now

The push towards higher energy standards means that substandard rental properties are becoming increasingly difficult to let and harder to insure. By focusing on essential improvements like thermal bridging solutions and proper insulation, you can protect your rental income from the risks associated with non-compliance. Our team ensures that every improvement project in Mountain Ash and the surrounding areas is carried out to meet current government guidelines, protecting your asset value and providing a warmer, healthier environment for your tenants.

Our PAS 2035 compliant retrofit approach

We take a whole-house approach to retrofitting, ensuring that insulation, ventilation, and heating systems work in harmony. As a fully PAS 2030 accredited company, we offer services ranging from external wall insulation to high-performance loft upgrades. This methodology is particularly vital for solid wall properties, which are common in our valleys and often suffer from damp and high heat loss. Our systematic process ensures that your building remains breathable and structurally sound while meeting the strict energy performance requirements of today.

Expert insulation and rendering for older properties

Many properties in the Aberpennar and Mountain Ash area feature solid masonry walls that lose heat rapidly. We provide specialist external and internal wall insulation solutions, finished with modern silicone or monocouche rendering. This combination not only boosts your property to an EPC C rating but also enhances the external appearance, which helps in attracting long-term tenants. Whether you manage a single terraced house or a larger HMO portfolio, our durable, high-quality finishes are designed to last.

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.
