Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Why prioritise MEES compliance and thermal upgrades?

Recent updates to UK legislation make high EPC ratings non-negotiable for HMOs. Beyond legal requirements, poorly insulated properties in the South Wales climate are prone to draughts, condensation, and mould, which can lead to costly maintenance issues and tenant turnover. Our PAS 2035 compliant retrofit services tackle these problems at the source. By installing professional-grade external or internal wall insulation, we significantly reduce heat loss and lower energy bills, making your properties more attractive to high-quality tenants and more profitable in the long term.

Expert insulation solutions for diverse building types

Not all properties in Pontarddulais are built the same, and our team has the expertise to handle them all. Whether you have solid wall Victorian houses or specific non-traditional constructions, we tailor our approach. We specialise in external wall insulation that revitalises the aesthetic of your property while providing thermal protection, and internal wall insulation for scenarios where maintaining the original exterior facade is essential. Every project is handled with precision to ensure structural integrity and strict compliance with building regulations.

How we manage your PAS 2035 retrofit project

We take the stress out of compliance by managing the technical details for you. As a PAS 2030 accredited company, we follow a rigorous process: we conduct a comprehensive retrofit assessment, design a tailored thermal solution, and carry out high-quality installations using only the best materials. This methodical approach ensures you receive valid documentation for your EPC records, including insurance-backed guarantees through SWIGA. We focus on minimising disruption to your current tenants, ensuring that work is completed efficiently and safely.

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.
