What information do you need for a commercial EPC?

Floor plans if available, details of the heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems, any building services documentation, and access to plant rooms and roof spaces. Our assessor will still survey the building in person; good documentation simply speeds the process up and can improve the rating.

When will I receive my certificate?

We lodge domestic certificates on the national register within 48 hours of the visit and email you a PDF with the register link. Commercial certificates are usually lodged within two to three working days because of the additional modelling involved.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes. You can change or cancel your appointment free of charge up to 24 hours before the visit by phone or email. Later cancellations or no-access visits may incur a £25 fee to cover the assessor's time, which we waive if the reason was outside your control.

Buildings we assess

From a single shop unit to a multi-let industrial estate.

Any building with a roof, walls and an energy-using system that is sold, let or substantially altered needs a non-domestic EPC. We survey the building in person and model it using the Government's SBEM methodology.

Offices

Single floors to multi-let blocks, serviced and co-working space.

Retail

High-street units, shopping parades, showrooms and supermarkets.

Industrial

Warehouses, workshops, distribution units and trade counters.

Hospitality

Restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels and takeaways.

Leisure

Gyms, studios, sports halls and community buildings.

Healthcare & education

Dental and GP practices, clinics, nurseries and training centres.

Assessment levels

Which level does your building need?

The level is set by the complexity of the building services, not its size alone. We confirm the correct level when we quote, so you're never over-assessed or under-certified.

Level 3

Simple buildings

Natural ventilation, basic heating, simple layouts — most small shops, offices and workshops.

from £130

Level 4

Complex services

Air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, larger or multi-zone premises and mixed-use buildings.

quoted

Level 5

Bespoke buildings

Highly complex or atypical buildings assessed with dynamic simulation — arranged through our partner network.

MEES for commercial property

The minimum standard is rising. Your certificate should tell you where you stand.

Since April 2023 no non-domestic building can be let with an F or G rating unless an exemption is registered. Penalties are based on rateable value and can reach £150,000 per breach.

*Dates marked with an asterisk are Government proposals under consultation at the time of writing and may change.

Plan improvements to C or B

2018

Minimum EPC E for new leases and renewals of non-domestic property.

2023

Minimum E extended to all existing leases — F and G rated buildings cannot continue to be let.

2027*

Proposed interim milestone: a valid EPC of C or better for let non-domestic buildings.

2030*

Proposed target: minimum EPC B across the non-domestic rented sector.

The level reflects the complexity of the building's services. Level 3 covers simple buildings with basic heating and natural ventilation, such as small shops and offices. Level 4 is required where there is air conditioning, complex ventilation or larger, more complex layouts. Level 5 applies to bespoke, highly complex buildings assessed with dynamic simulation. We tell you which level applies when we quote.
