Scotland is tightening EPC rules for private rentals. Loft and cavity wall insulation are the cheapest way to move a property up a band, and most jobs are done in a day with the tenant in place.
The Scottish Government has committed to minimum energy efficiency standards for private rented homes. Whatever the final dates, a property sitting at EPC E or F is going to be a problem to let, and it's already a problem to sell.
Insulation is where the cheap points are. A loft top-up and a cavity fill can lift a typical 1960s semi from E to C for far less than a heating system change. Underfloor and room-in-roof insulation add more where they apply.
We survey, tell you which measures give the most EPC gain per pound, and give you a written quote you can file against the property.
Multiple properties surveyed and quoted together, scheduled to suit tenancies.
Loft and cavity work is done in a day with no need to decant tenants.
Guarantee documents and completion certificates for your EPC assessor and records.
We work directly with agents managing compliance across a book of properties.
The Private Rented Sector Landlord Loan from Home Energy Scotland offers interest-free finance for insulation and heating in rental properties. Tenants on qualifying benefits may also bring the property into scope for ECO funding, with the landlord's consent. We'll tell you which applies at the survey.
Rental properties get treated roughly by some installers. Every one of our fitters is a time-served joiner: hatches are made good, boards go back down properly, and we don't leave a mess for your tenant to complain about.
No. Loft, cavity wall and most underfloor work is completed in a day with the tenant at home.
The Home Energy Scotland landlord loan is the main route. If your tenant receives qualifying benefits the property may also be eligible for ECO-funded measures.
Yes. We'll survey and quote across a portfolio and schedule installs around tenancies and void periods.
A written quote, completion certificate and material guarantees, which your EPC assessor can use as evidence of the measures.
