Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Meeting PAS 2035 Standards for Your Rental Portfolio

Compliance with the latest retrofit standards is no longer optional for those looking to maintain high-quality rental accommodation. Our PAS 2030 accredited team handles everything from internal and external wall insulation to complex loft conversions. By following rigorous PAS 2035 retrofit standards, we ensure that every upgrade is technically sound and long-lasting. Whether you manage a traditional Victorian terrace or a modern purpose-built block, we provide the technical expertise to effectively reduce heat loss and lower energy bills for your tenants.

Why prioritise energy efficiency in your Barri HMO?

With tightening regulations and rising energy costs, upgrading your property is a strategic investment. Improvements such as solid wall insulation or professional loft boarding directly address common HMO heat loss issues. Beyond simply meeting the legal threshold for your Energy Performance Certificate, these upgrades significantly improve thermal comfort, which is a major factor in tenant retention and satisfaction. Our solutions help you stay ahead of potential legislative changes while modernising your assets across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Our approach to property transformation

We pride ourselves on a professional, systematic process that minimises disruption to your tenants. Our experts begin with a detailed assessment to identify the most effective routes for improving your EPC rating, considering the specific structural needs of your building. We then deliver high-quality installations backed by our accreditations. With SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees and CHAS accreditation, we offer complete peace of mind that your investment is fully protected and managed by industry professionals.

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.
