EPC Doncaster – Local Energy Performance Certificate Assessor
If you need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in Doncaster, you’ve come to the right place.
I am a fully accredited, insured, and government-registered assessor with decades of experience.
My goal is simple: to provide you with a fast, professional, and affordable EPC service that meets all legal requirements while helping you understand your property’s energy efficiency.
Whether you’re a homeowner preparing to sell, a landlord letting a property, or an agent managing multiple listings, I make the EPC process clear, simple, and stress-free.
What Is an EPC and Why Do You Need One?
An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also provides tailored recommendations on how to lower bills and reduce carbon emissions.
You must have an EPC if you are:
- Selling a home in Doncaster
- Renting out a property to tenants
- Renewing an existing tenancy
- Applying for certain government grants or funding schemes
EPCs are valid for 10 years, and every certificate is stored on the official government register.

All EPCs are lodged on the official register and delivered to you by email.

Landlord EPC Compliance in Doncaster
By law, rental properties must achieve an EPC rating of E or higher. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let unless an exemption is registered.
If your property falls below the minimum standard, I provide guidance on the most cost-effective improvements, such as loft insulation, boiler upgrades, or energy-efficient lighting. This ensures landlords stay compliant with current MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) regulations.
Preparing for Your EPC Survey
To make sure you achieve the most accurate rating, here are a few preparation tips:
- Have boiler manuals or servicing documents available
- Provide paperwork for loft or cavity wall insulation
- Make sure loft access is clear and safe
- Fit energy-saving lightbulbs where possible
- Keep double-glazing paperwork handy if windows were installed after 2002
These simple steps can prevent defaults in the software that may lower your EPC score.
Example: EPC Completed in Doncaster
Recently, I carried out an EPC on a three-bedroom semi in Armthorpe (DN3). The survey was completed in just 40 minutes, and the certificate was issued the following day. The property achieved a C rating, thanks to upgraded loft insulation and a modern condensing boiler.
This is a typical turnaround for my Doncaster clients, and similar improvements can often raise a property’s EPC band at low cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an EPC last?
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you’ve already had one completed recently, you may still be able to use it when selling or letting.
Do landlords need a new EPC for each property?
Yes. Each rental property requires its own EPC, and it must meet the minimum E rating standard before tenants can move in.
Can I improve my EPC rating without major works?
Yes. Simple upgrades such as adding hot water cylinder insulation, using LED bulbs, or providing proof of existing insulation can improve your score.
How do I check if my property already has an EPC?
You can search the official government EPC register using your postcode.
