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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas.
High street units, retail parks, and convenience stores in Stoke-on-Trent. Commercial landlords need valid EPCs for all lettable retail space.
Workshops, light industrial, storage and mixed-use buildings. If you're unsure whether your Stoke-on-Trent property qualifies, just ask.
Some larger HMOs and mixed-use properties require a non-domestic EPC. I can advise on which applies to your Stoke-on-Trent property.
Stoke-on-Trent's Potteries terracing is one of the most distinctive and challenging housing stocks in the Midlands for EPC compliance — and the 2030 deadline is pressing.
The majority of Stoke's residential housing consists of Victorian and Edwardian terracing built to house workers in the ceramics and mining industries. Much has solid wall or narrow cavity construction, limited loft space, and older heating systems. These properties are among the most challenging to bring to EPC C and are disproportionately represented in the private rented sector.
Post-war semi-detached housing and more recent private development is also present across the city. These properties have cavity walls, better insulation potential and are generally closer to EPC C. Many are owner-occupied but a proportion are rented.
Stoke-on-Trent is one of the cities most exposed to the 2030 MEES deadline — large private rented sector, high proportion of pre-1919 terracing, and low average EPC ratings. Many landlords here will need to act. Early assessment is essential both to understand the current position and to lock in SAP ratings before HEM arrives.
Stoke-on-Trent properties are frequently eligible for ECO4 and Warm Homes Plan funding given the city's housing profile. An up-to-date EPC is the starting point. I can advise on funding routes available for your specific property and circumstances.

Domestic EPC prices with KIEEPC are fixed — £65 for a flat or apartment, £75 for a house up to 3 bedrooms, and £90 for a 4–6 bedroom property. All prices include the survey, lodgement on the national register, and same-day certificate. Commercial EPCs are quoted on survey.
Yes. From 1 October 2030, all privately rented properties in England and Wales — including those in Stoke-on-Trent — must achieve a minimum EPC C. Stoke has a very high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, much of which is privately rented and currently rated D or below.
Stoke-on-Trent's housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terracing — the Potteries terracing built to house workers in the ceramics and mining industries. This gives the city a high proportion of older solid-walled or narrow-cavity properties across all six towns. These are among the most challenging property types to bring to EPC C and are worth assessing early.
Yes. KIEEPC is fully accredited as a Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) and covers Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire for commercial EPCs — offices, retail, industrial premises, warehouses and larger HMOs. Stoke has significant commercial and former industrial stock. Pricing is quoted on survey.
Yes. KIEEPC covers all six towns — Burslem, Hanley, Longton, Tunstall, Fenton and Stoke — as well as Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek and the wider North Staffordshire area. Fixed domestic prices apply throughout.
Under HEM, properties with gas boilers cannot achieve a C on the Heating System metric. Stoke's overwhelmingly gas-heated Victorian terracing is significantly affected. An EPC completed under current SAP before October 2029 that achieves C locks in that compliance for up to 10 years — making early assessment the most practical action for Stoke landlords.
Many are. Stoke-on-Trent has a high proportion of low-rated, privately rented housing — exactly the profile frequently targeted by ECO4 and Warm Homes Plan funding. An up-to-date EPC is typically the starting point for establishing eligibility. I can advise on whether your property qualifies and what funding routes may be available. Get in touch to discuss →
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. Estate agents in Stoke-on-Trent will ask for it before listing. If your existing EPC has expired — they last 10 years — 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.
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. Even if it hasn't expired, if you've made improvements since it was issued — a new boiler, insulation, or Solar PV — a fresh assessment may show a better rating.
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, and heat pumps. I can also model the SAP outcome 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. 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. Get in touch to arrange an inspection →
