Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Improving Energy Performance in North Somerset Properties

Many HMOs in Portishead are older, solid-wall Victorian or Edwardian buildings that struggle with significant heat loss. These properties often suffer from cold walls and persistent damp, which can lead to high energy bills and unhappy tenants. We specialise in identifying the most effective thermal upgrades, whether that involves installing high-performance External Wall Insulation or space-efficient Internal Wall Insulation. By addressing these structural issues, we help you achieve decarbonisation targets and ensure your property remains attractive in a competitive rental market.

Our Specialist Retrofit Process for Landlords

Our service begins with a comprehensive assessment of your property fabric to determine the most compliant and cost-effective path to an EPC upgrade. We have extensive experience with complex building types, including traditional solid-wall homes and modern non-traditional builds. Once the scope is defined, our skilled team performs the installation using premium rendering systems like silicone thin-coat or K Rend. These finishes not only improve thermal efficiency but also offer a modern aesthetic that enhances the street appeal of your rental property.

Why Choose Our PAS Accredited Retrofit Services?

Compliance with PAS 2035 standards is at the heart of everything we do. As a SWIGA-accredited and CHAS-compliant contractor, we provide the insurance-backed guarantees that landlords need for peace of mind. Our team, operating under registered company number 05875199, manages the complexities of local planning permissions, particularly for properties located in conservation areas. We take the stress out of property management by ensuring all works are fully documented and meet the strict legal requirements for modern energy performance certificates.

Common Questions About HMO Energy Upgrades

Many landlords ask whether their HMO needs an individual EPC for every room; typically, one certificate is sufficient for the entire building if it is let on a single contract, though exceptions exist based on building configuration. Projects are generally efficient, with most insulation upgrades completed within two to three weeks depending on the scale. We also provide guidance on potential government funding or ECO4 schemes that may be available to help offset the costs of your retrofit project.

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.
