EPC upgrade services for landlords: every measure in one place
EPC upgrade services for landlords should begin with a survey, not a sales pitch. Below are the 17 services we offer for rented homes, grouped by what they do. Each links to its own page with EPC impact, grant status and process. A free assessment tells you where to start.

Fabric first upgrades: how the work is ordered
A landlord EPC upgrade works best in a set order. The government's response of 21 January 2026 says landlords must first invest in measures that meet a primary fabric performance standard. Only then does a second standard on heating or smart readiness apply.
That is confirmed government policy, not yet law. Legislation is targeted for 2027, and the new scoring thresholds are not published. Our EPC C 2030 guide explains the rule in full.
Fabric first upgrades therefore come before heating and power. The list below follows that order.
Retrofit services for landlords: walls, roofs and floors
These are the fabric measures. They keep heat in and usually come first.
- Cavity wall insulation fills the gap in two-layer brick walls.
- Solid wall insulation is the hard case, with internal, external and hybrid routes.
- Loft insulation deals with unused roof spaces.
- Room in roof insulation covers attic rooms and conversions.
- Roof insulation covers pitched, flat and conservatory roofs.
- Floor and basement insulation treats suspended and solid floors and cellars.
- Draught-proofing is the cheap sealing job.
- Spray foam removal clears old foam that lenders and surveyors may reject.
Damp, mould and ventilation
Insulation changes how moisture moves through a home. Damp, mould and ventilation is the service that finds causes and keeps airflow healthy. It sits alongside every wall, roof and floor job.
Heating, power and openings
Once the fabric is sound, these measures cut running costs and carbon.
- Heating controls and hot water covers thermostats, cylinders and boilers.
- Heat pumps replace gas or oil boilers.
- Solar and battery storage generates and stores power on site.
- EV chargers add a home charge point.
- Windows and doors replaces failed frames and glazing.
Safety, repairs and voids
Rented homes also need safety checks and quick turnarounds.
- Electrical and gas safety covers landlord certificates.
- Refurbishment covers the whole-property order of works.
- Kitchens, bathrooms, plastering and decorating and flooring cover each room.
- Renovation covers larger structural jobs, and roofing covers repairs and flat roofs.
- Plumbing and boilers, first-time central heating and smart meters cover heating and metering.
- Void turnarounds gets an empty property back on the market.
EPC upgrade services for landlords: where to start
Match your situation to the first service to read. The assessment then confirms the order.
| Your situation | Read first |
|---|---|
| Victorian terrace, solid brick | Solid wall insulation, then loft and floor |
| 1930s semi with a cavity | Cavity wall insulation, then loft |
| Mould or condensation already | Damp, mould and ventilation |
| Flat-roofed extension | Roof insulation |
| Old foam sprayed in the loft | Spray foam removal |
| Boiler at end of life | Heating controls and heat pumps |
| Not sure | Book the assessment |

Landlord EPC upgrade funding and the cost cap
Funding varies by measure and by area. In Greater Manchester, the Warm Homes: Local Grant can pay 100% of eligible costs for a landlord's first property, up to £30,000 across energy performance and heating measures. Later properties receive 50%. ECO4 ends on 31 December 2026.
Spend on measures since 1 October 2025 counts towards the £10,000 cap. Boiler Upgrade Scheme money does not. The grants for landlords guide holds the full table and sources.
How every job starts: a PAS 2035 retrofit assessment
Every job starts with a retrofit assessment under PAS 2035. A trained assessor visits, records the building and models the likely EPC effect. A retrofit coordinator then builds a plan that ranks measures by value. You receive a written recommendation and a price, never a surprise on site.
Our how we work page sets out each stage in more detail.
