Landlords must reach minimum EPC C by October 2030. Know your rating now — before compliance becomes a crisis.
Fixed-price domestic EPCs with same-day certificate issue. No hidden fees. No call-out charges.
As a fully accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA), I carry out commercial EPCs across Highters Heath and the wider area — offices, retail, industrial premises, warehouses, and larger HMOs.
Non-domestic EPCs are a legal requirement when selling, letting or modifying commercial buildings. I assess all sizes across Highters Heath and surrounding areas.
High street units, retail parks, and convenience stores in Highters Heath. Commercial landlords need valid EPCs for all lettable retail space.
Workshops, light industrial, storage and mixed-use buildings. If you're unsure whether your Highters Heath property qualifies, just ask.
Some larger HMOs and mixed-use properties require a non-domestic EPC. I can advise on which applies to your Highters Heath property.

An EPC is often just the starting point. Here is what else KIEEPC can do for your property.
The government's flagship home upgrade programme — backed by a £15 billion commitment running to 2030. It covers insulation, low-carbon heating, solar panels and batteries, with fully funded packages available for eligible low-income and fuel-poor households, and low or zero-interest loans for others.
Warm Homes Plan funding requires a Retrofit Assessment under PAS2035 — I can carry out the assessment, arrange the full surveying process, and connect you with compliant installers. Find out about Retrofit Assessments →
Details are still being confirmed by government — further updates to follow as they are released.
A Solar PV survey with KIEEPC means a full system design, detailed costings, and a SAP-modelled energy outcome — for both domestic and non-domestic properties — at no charge and with no strings attached. You get the full picture of what is possible for your property, and I would actively encourage you to get other quotes to compare.
For larger commercial installations of 250kW or more, I have access to Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) funding through industry contacts — removing the upfront capital requirement entirely. Well worth a conversation if you have the roof space or land for it.
Grant funding information — updates to follow.
A Retrofit Assessment is a structured, whole-house survey carried out under PAS2035 — the standard that governs funded energy improvement works in England and Wales. It is required whenever a property is receiving government-backed funding for energy efficiency measures, including under the Warm Homes Plan and ECO4.
I am accredited as a PAS2035 Retrofit Assessor and have access to a network of Retrofit Coordinators, Retrofit Designers, Heating and Ventilation Engineers, Air Pressure Testers, OCDEAs, and compliant installers for all energy efficiency measures. I can manage the full surveying process and arrange installer access.
With over a decade of experience as a Cavity Wall Insulation surveyor, I carry out borescope inspections that visually confirm whether insulation is present, intact, and free from voids or damp — something a standard EPC assessment cannot do. Where issues are found, I document findings formally and work closely with a Chartered Surveyor who can produce supporting recommendations and attend site where needed.
Where funding is not available, I can obtain no-obligation quotes for wall and loft insulation installation or remediation through PAS2035-compliant contractors.

Frequently asked questions about EPC assessments in Highters Heath, Birmingham.
Fixed prices throughout Birmingham — £65 for a flat or apartment, £75 for a house up to 3 bedrooms, £90 for a 4–6 bedroom property. All prices include the survey, national register lodgement, and same-day certificate. Commercial EPCs are quoted on survey.
Yes — from 1 October 2030, all privately rented properties in England and Wales must achieve a minimum EPC C. Properties in Highters Heath are subject to the same requirements as all Birmingham postcodes. Many properties in this part of the city will need assessment and improvement planning ahead of the deadline.
The on-site visit typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes for a standard property. The EPC is lodged on the national register and emailed to you the same day in the vast majority of cases.
Yes — an EPC is a legal requirement before a property can be marketed for sale in England and Wales. It must be commissioned before the first advertisement, not at the point of exchange. Estate agents will ask for it before listing. EPCs last 10 years — if yours has expired you'll need a fresh one.
The Home Energy Model (HEM) replaces the current SAP methodology from 2027. Under HEM, no property with a gas or oil boiler can achieve a C on the Heating System metric — which affects the vast majority of Birmingham's housing stock. An EPC completed under current SAP before October 2029 that achieves a C locks in that compliance for up to 10 years. Getting assessed now is the most practical response.
Yes. KIEEPC is fully accredited as a Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) and covers all of Birmingham for commercial EPCs — offices, retail, industrial, warehouses and larger HMOs. Visit the commercial EPC page or get in touch for a no-obligation quote.
Every EPC includes a recommendation report. I work with a network of PAS2035-compliant installers and can facilitate no-obligation quotes for all main energy efficiency measures — insulation, Solar PV, heat pumps and more. I can also advise on funding routes including ECO4 and the Warm Homes Plan. Get in touch to discuss your options →
Yes — an EPC is a legal requirement before a property can be marketed for sale in England and Wales. It must be commissioned before the first advertisement appears, not at the point of exchange. Estate agents will ask for it before listing. EPCs last 10 years — if yours has expired you'll need a fresh assessment before you can proceed.
The on-site visit typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes for a standard domestic property — slightly longer for larger or more complex homes. Once complete, the EPC is lodged on the national register and emailed to you the same day in the vast majority of cases.
In most cases, yes. Government-funded schemes such as ECO4 and the Warm Homes Plan require a current EPC as part of the eligibility assessment — and many schemes require the property to be below a certain rating to qualify. Getting an up-to-date EPC is typically the first step before applying for any funding. If you've had improvements made since your last EPC, an updated assessment may also open up further funding routes.
EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If yours has expired, you'll need a new one before selling or renting your property. Even if it hasn't expired, if you've made improvements since it was issued — a new boiler, loft or cavity wall insulation, or Solar PV — a fresh assessment may show a better rating, which could affect your marketability and compliance position.
Every EPC includes a recommendation report. I work with a network of PAS2035-compliant installers and can facilitate no-obligation quotes for all the main energy efficiency measures — cavity wall and loft insulation, solid wall insulation, Solar PV, air source and ground source heat pumps, and more. I can also model the SAP outcome of any specific improvement before you commit, and advise on funding routes including ECO4 and the Warm Homes Plan. Get in touch to discuss your options →
A standard EPC assessment is visual and non-intrusive — if there is no definitive evidence that insulation is present and performing correctly, the assessor must record the wall as uninsulated, which affects your rating. I carry out cavity wall inspections using a borescope — a small camera inserted through a drill hole — which visually confirms whether insulation is present, intact, and free from voids or damp. Where failed insulation is found, I can advise on remediation options through PAS2035-compliant installers. Get in touch to arrange an inspection →
