Why Chertsey Properties Need an EPC
Many homes around Chertsey town centre and along the Thames were built before modern insulation standards, so older Victorian and Edwardian properties often score D or E without upgrades like loft insulation or double glazing. Landlords currently need an EPC of E or above to let a property, and if you're selling, an EPC must be commissioned before the property goes on the market. We'll also flag simple, low-cost improvements that could lift your rating. As accredited members of TrustMark, ECMK, Elmhurst Energy and Quidos, we provide Chertsey homeowners and landlords with certificates that are fully compliant and instantly recognised by agents and solicitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an EPC energy assessor?
An EPC energy assessor — properly called a domestic energy assessor — is the accredited professional who surveys your property and produces its Energy Performance Certificate. Only an assessor registered with a government-approved scheme can lodge an EPC on the national register, which is why one can't be issued remotely or from a floor plan. On site we record the walls, roof and floors, insulation, glazing, heating system and controls, hot water and lighting, then run that evidence through government-approved software to produce the A–G rating.
2. Are you an accredited energy assessor?
Yes. We're accredited with Elmhurst Energy, Quidos and ECMK, and TrustMark registered. Every certificate is lodged on the official government EPC register, so your estate agent, solicitor or lender can verify it instantly using the property postcode. Insurance and ID details are available before the appointment if you or your tenant would like them.
3. Is there an EPC assessor near me in Chertsey?
Yes — Chertsey and KT16 are covered as local work, so appointments are usually available same day or next day and there's no travel surcharge. We also assess across Addlestone, Ottershaw, Lyne, Thorpe, Longcross, Virginia Water, Egham, Staines-upon-Thames, Laleham, Shepperton and Weybridge. Booking a local assessor directly is quicker and cheaper than a national booking service, which subcontracts the visit to someone local anyway.
4. What is an EPC certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least). It shows the current rating, the potential rating if the recommended work were done, estimated energy costs, and a list of improvement measures. It sits on a public government register and is a legal requirement before any Chertsey property is advertised for sale or to let.
5. Do I need an EPC certificate?
You need one if you're selling, letting, or granting a new tenancy without a valid certificate already in place — and it has to be commissioned before the property goes on the market, not once an offer is agreed. You'll also be asked for one on new builds and most conversions, and for grant schemes covering boilers, insulation and solar. If you're staying in the property and not selling or renting it out, there's no obligation to have one.
6. How do I book an EPC in Chertsey?
Book online through the form on this page, or call or text 07850408160, or email epcenergyassessor@gmail.com. We need the address and postcode, the number of bedrooms, and who's providing access. You'll get a confirmed time slot and a fixed price before we attend, with nothing to pay up front, and the certificate lodged and emailed within 24 hours of the visit — to your agent or solicitor too if you'd like.
7. How much does an EPC cost in Chertsey?
Fixed prices by size, no call-out fee for KT16: £95 for a studio or one-bed, £120 for two beds, £135 for three, £150 for four, £170 for five and £200 for six. The quote you get when booking is the amount you pay. Landlords or agents with several properties to certify can ask about a multi-property rate.
8. How long does the EPC assessment take?
Usually 45 minutes to an hour at the property for a typical Chertsey home, a little longer for larger or unusual ones. We need access to every room, plus the loft hatch, boiler, meters and any outbuildings counted in the floor area. The calculation and lodging happen afterwards at our end, so you're not waiting around — most clients have the certificate the next day.
9. How long is an EPC valid for?
Ten years from the date it's lodged. Within that period the same certificate can be reused for a sale or a new tenancy, and it stays with the property when it changes hands — so check the government register first, as you may already have a valid one. You'd only need a new assessment if it's expired, if you've made improvements you want reflected in the rating, or if a lender or grant scheme requires a current one.
10. What EPC rating does a Chertsey rental property need?
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard, a privately rented home in England and Wales must be rated E or above for a tenancy to be granted or continued, unless a valid exemption is registered. The government's Warm Homes Plan has confirmed the minimum rises to EPC C by 1 October 2030. Chertsey's Victorian riverside cottages and 1930s semis are the ones most likely to fall short, so if yours is a D or E it's worth getting assessed now — we'll tell you which recommendations on the certificate will genuinely move the rating and which won't.
