Why Choose Our HMO Landlord EPC Upgrades?

Why Invest in PAS 2035 Retrofit Solutions?

Retrofitting a rental property requires a professional, calculated approach to avoid long-term structural issues like damp or interstitial condensation. Our team is fully PAS 2030 accredited, meaning we manage every project according to strict PAS 2035 standards. We carry out detailed retrofit assessments to determine the most effective thermal improvements for your building, whether it is a traditional Victorian terrace or a more modern HMO layout. By focusing on whole-house efficiency, we help you transition your portfolio to a higher EPC rating effectively.

Specialist Insulation for Rental Properties

Our insulation services are designed to address the common pain points of older properties in the Hay-On-Wye area. For many landlords, internal wall insulation offers a practical solution to thermal bridging in rooms that are hard to heat, while external wall insulation provides a comprehensive thermal envelope for the entire building. We also provide loft insulation and advanced draught-proofing services. These measures significantly reduce heat loss and lower energy bills, directly helping your tenants manage rising costs while boosting the marketability of your rental assets.

How Do We Ensure Quality and Compliance?

Quality assurance is at the heart of our service. As a CHAS-registered contractor, we prioritise safety and compliance on every site. Furthermore, because we are SWIGA-accredited, we provide insurance-backed guarantees on our insulation installations, giving you full protection and peace of mind. We handle the entire process from initial site assessment to final completion, ensuring that your property is fully documented for future EPC compliance. Our team is experienced in working within the specific architectural constraints of the Powys region, ensuring all work respects the building character.

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.
