What an EPC costs in Hockley Heath

Booking, step by step
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Select a morning or afternoon window. The precise appointment is confirmed by phone the previous day.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.
What the assessor looks at in a Hockley Heath property
Hockley Heath is characterised by canal-side cottages, farmhouses and rural properties often off the mains gas grid — the streets around Hockley Heath Wharf on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, and out through Aylesbury Road, Nuthurst, Illshaw Heath and Umberslade. On pre-cavity brick and stone housing, the assessor is mainly recording nine-inch solid brickwork, single glazing or thin secondary glazing, and a great deal of air leakage around original joinery.
Mains gas is the assumption the calculation is kindest to. Anything else — oil, LPG, direct electric — costs points before the fabric is even considered.
Allow up to an hour. The assessor measures, photographs the heating and records every external wall construction; none of it involves lifting or drilling anything.
How to prepare
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
