EPCs & PAS 2035 retrofit · Preston, Blackpool & the North West

Get your property
to EPC band C.

We assess the home, tell you exactly what it takes to move up the scale, and manage the work that gets you there. Start with the certificate — everything else follows from it.

Most homes built before 1990 sit at D or below. Moving up to C is usually a fabric-first job — insulation and draught-proofing before new heating.

The Eco Futures approach

Three steps from where you are to where you need to be.

Most “free surveys” are a route to selling one product. We start from the measured performance of your whole home — then see the work through.

01

Start with the certificate

A £65 EPC from an accredited assessor tells you the band you are on now and the measures that would lift it. Book it online and we come to you.

02

Get the plan to C

A PAS 2035 whole-house assessment turns that rating into a costed, prioritised plan — fabric first, in the right order, with the grants you qualify for.

How retrofit works
03

We see the work through

We coordinate accredited, insured installers, oversee the work to standard and sign it off — then re-assess so the new band is on record.

Why the band matters

C is the number everyone is aiming at.

For landlords it is about meeting the standard. For owners it is about bills, comfort and what the home is worth. The work to get there is much the same.

Landlords: the standard is rising to C

Privately rented homes in England and Wales must be at least band E today. The government has confirmed band C by 1 October 2030 for all tenancies. Get to C on a certificate lodged before 1 October 2029 and it counts until that certificate expires.

A warmer, healthier home

Even heat, no cold spots, and controlled ventilation that ends condensation, mould and damp.

Lower running costs

Insulate first and a well-sized heat pump costs far less to run. A whole-house plan targets the measures that actually move the bill.

A better-rated asset

The band is on the public register and buyers, tenants and lenders look at it. A higher rating protects resale and rental value.

What moves the rating

A whole-house toolkit.

No single measure gets a home to C on its own. The assessment works out which combination does it for the least disruption and cost.
