Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Achieving MEES Compliance in Older Somerset Properties

Many HMOs in Minehead are housed within older, character-rich buildings, such as Victorian terraces or solid-wall constructions, which are notorious for heat loss and energy inefficiency. These structures often lack the insulation levels found in modern housing, leading to cold, damp living conditions and high energy bills. Our team is expert at retrofitting these unique property types. By focusing on thermal bridging solutions and building fabric upgrades, we help you improve your property's EPC rating without compromising its structural integrity or character.

How Our PAS 2035 Retrofit Process Works

We follow the rigorous PAS 2035 framework to ensure every project is safe, effective, and compliant. The process begins with a detailed retrofit survey of your HMO to identify exactly where heat is escaping. Our installers then apply high-performance solutions, ranging from internal wall insulation and loft upgrades to modern external rendering systems. By addressing the building envelope holistically, we ensure that the improvements are sustainable and that condensation and mould risks are effectively managed for your peace of mind.

Can Better Insulation Boost Your Property Appeal

Investing in energy efficiency is about more than just legal compliance. Properties with higher EPC ratings are significantly more attractive to potential tenants in Minehead, especially as energy costs remain a key concern for renters. Improved thermal comfort means fewer complaints about cold rooms and draughts, leading to higher tenant retention and increased asset value. With our range of finishing options, including high-quality silicone rendering and professional dry-lining, your property will not only be more efficient but also look aesthetically refreshed.

We hold full PAS 2030 accreditation and are CHAS-accredited, ensuring that every project meets high safety and professional standards.

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.
