Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Why Victorian and Edwardian Terraces Need Specialist Insulation

Newport is home to many beautiful Victorian and Edwardian terraces that are popular for HMO conversions but are notoriously difficult to heat. These traditional properties often feature solid wall construction, which allows heat to escape rapidly, leading to high bills and damp-related issues. Our team understands the specific architectural nuances of these buildings. We provide targeted internal and external wall insulation that prevents thermal bridging without compromising the character of the property. By treating the fabric of the building, we effectively transform cold, draughty houses into energy-efficient, rentable spaces.

Our PAS 2035 Retrofit Process for Rental Portfolios

Compliance with PAS 2035 standards is at the heart of our service, ensuring that every retrofit is safely designed and properly installed. Our process begins with a comprehensive site survey to identify the most effective energy-saving measures for your specific HMO. Whether your property requires external wall insulation, loft insulation, or advanced silicone rendering to improve weatherproofing, our team manages the installation from start to finish. We provide all the necessary certification required for your EPC upgrade, helping you demonstrate compliance with confidence. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your existing tenants.

How to Improve Your EPC Rating and Rental Yields

Improving your EPC rating is a strategic investment that pays dividends through higher rental yields and lower void periods. Tenants are increasingly conscious of energy costs, and an efficient home is a significant selling point in a competitive market. Our energy efficiency improvements do more than just meet legal requirements. They address common complaints such as mould, condensation, and cold spots, creating a healthier living environment. By investing in our insulation and rendering services, you protect the fabric of your building while future-proofing your assets against further regulation changes.

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!"

M. Lewis (Cardiff)

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.
