From £65See quantities and scope below
Explain the building and consent constraints.
For a Richmond or Twickenham property, bring evidence of completed fabric and heating improvements. If heritage restrictions affect proposed upgrades, identify them; the EPC itself is not permission to carry out building work.
For an address in Richmond, Twickenham or elsewhere in Richmond upon Thames, send the full postal address, exact flat or unit and contact for entry. These localities help describe the enquiry; a postcode or borough name alone does not confirm the inspection boundary.

The existing-home assessment
An accredited domestic energy assessor records the building features needed for the assessment: its construction, dimensions, insulation, glazing, heating, hot water, lighting and relevant renewable systems. Safe access and acceptable evidence matter where a feature cannot be seen.
The certificate and recommendations
The EPC gives an A–G energy-efficiency rating and improvement recommendations. Its energy-cost figures are estimates using standard assumptions, rather than a forecast of your household bills. The outcome follows the recorded property; a particular band cannot be promised.
A home, business premises or a new dwelling?
A Domestic EPC booking is for an existing home within the agreed scope. Shops, offices and other non-domestic premises need a Commercial EPC quotation based on the building and systems. A new dwelling or relevant building project may need SAP calculations. Tell us the purpose before choosing a route.
Check the record before booking another EPC
You can find and download an existing certificate free through the official EPC register. Check the full address and unit, rating and assessment date.
Letting a home with a low rating
Domestic private rentals covered by the minimum energy efficiency rules generally need band E or above, or a valid registered exemption. An F or G result needs attention before relying on the property for a letting. Read the current government landlord guidance and discuss improvement assessment separately.
Read the EPC rating correctly
A is the most efficient band and G is the least efficient. The recommendations indicate possible improvements; they are not an installation specification or a promise of savings for a particular household.
For business premises in Richmond upon Thames, the commercial rating uses a different scoring approach. Request a quotation for the actual unit, building services and floor area.
Domestic EPC bands
Prepare the Richmond upon Thames property
- Check the official register for an existing certificate for this exact dwelling.
- Gather available insulation, glazing, heating and renewable-system evidence.
- Arrange normal safe access to the rooms and relevant building features.
- Identify shared heating, extensions and spaces controlled by another owner.
Requirements and keeping the record
An EPC is generally needed when a property is built, marketed for sale or let, subject to the relevant exceptions. A certificate is normally valid for ten years; a newer certificate for the same unit supersedes the older one. Check the current government guidance for the circumstances of your property. An EPC does not replace electrical or gas safety checks.

EPC in Richmond upon Thames: questions before booking
What should I clarify for an EPC at this address?
For a Richmond or Twickenham property, bring evidence of completed fabric and heating improvements. If heritage restrictions affect proposed upgrades, identify them; the EPC itself is not permission to carry out building work.
Can I download an existing EPC without paying for another visit?
Yes. Search the government energy-certificate register for the correct dwelling. An existing valid record may meet your needs; commissioning a new assessment is a separate decision.
Will improving the insulation guarantee a higher EPC band?
No. The result depends on the complete building, the assessment method and evidence that can be accepted. Discuss improvements through the retrofit assessment route before treating a predicted result as certain.
Is an EPC a building survey?
No. It assesses energy performance. It does not provide a structural condition survey, electrical report or gas safety record.
Can you assess a commercial unit at this address?
Use the Commercial EPC quotation form and describe the floor area, building use, heating, cooling and access. Domestic bedroom prices do not apply to business premises.
Can you confirm a same-day appointment in Richmond upon Thames?
Tell the team your deadline and access arrangements. A preferred date entered in the form is a request; availability and report timing must be confirmed. Do not assume a same-day service has been reserved.
