What is a Retrofit Assessment?
A retrofit assessment is a detailed survey of your home designed to identify the most suitable energy-efficiency improvements for your property. Unlike a standard EPC, which mainly provides a rating, a retrofit assessment looks in much greater detail at how your home actually performs.
The assessor examines how the property is built, its age and condition, insulation levels, ventilation, heating systems, and how the home is used on a day-to-day basis. Occupancy, household needs, and future plans are also considered so that any recommended upgrades are practical and suited to the people living in the home.
Using a whole-house approach, the assessment looks at how different improvements work together rather than recommending isolated measures. This helps ensure upgrades are carried out in the correct order and reduces the risk of issues such as poor ventilation, damp, or installing measures that are not suitable for the property.
Retrofit assessments follow the PAS 2035 framework, which is designed to make sure energy improvements are planned safely and effectively. It considers the home, the local environment, and the householders’ objectives and behaviours when deciding what measures are appropriate.
The assessment can help you plan upgrades such as insulation improvements, heating system upgrades, window replacements, and low-carbon technologies like heat pumps or solar panels. By understanding how your home works as a whole, you can make informed decisions that improve comfort, reduce energy bills, and make your home more energy efficient over the long term.
Who it’s for
Our retrofit assessment service is suitable for homeowners who are planning energy-efficiency improvements such as insulation upgrades, heating system improvements, glazing replacements, or renewable technologies like heat pumps or solar panels. It is also useful for landlords who want a clearer, more structured plan before upgrading a rental property’s energy performance.
The assessment is ideal for property owners who want to improve comfort, reduce heat loss, and lower carbon emissions through well-planned, staged home improvements. It is also commonly required for customers entering grant-funded or scheme-based retrofit projects where the PAS 2035 framework may apply.
Why book a Retrofit Assessment?
A retrofit assessment helps you understand which energy-efficiency improvements are most suitable for your property before committing to costly upgrades. Instead of taking a “one measure at a time” approach that can sometimes create problems later, it looks at the home as a whole to make sure improvements work together effectively.
The assessment can also identify important factors such as the property’s condition, ventilation requirements, and building type before any work begins. This helps create a clear plan for improvements, whether you choose to carry them out all at once or in stages over time. It can also support a smoother pathway into PAS 2035-compliant retrofit projects where this standard is required.

Why do I need a qualified commercial EPC Assessor?
A valid commercial EPC can only be issued by an accredited energy assessor using government-approved software, making it essential to appoint a properly qualified professional. For landlords, investors, and developers, working with an experienced Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) ensures that both compliance and performance are handled correctly across a wide range of property types, from offices and retail units to industrial and healthcare buildings.
Beyond simply producing the certificate, a skilled assessor will carry out a detailed evaluation of the building’s energy use and carbon emissions. This provides valuable insight into how the property is performing and highlights practical opportunities to reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and improve overall efficiency.
An experienced commercial EPC assessor will also have a strong understanding of current building regulations and energy-saving measures. This expertise allows them not only to deliver an accurate rating, but also to advise on suitable improvements and, where needed, support wider sustainability strategies and building services solutions.
