Our Process
Desktop Assessment
We begin with a desktop assessment of your property to check eligibility for ECO4 funding and identify potential improvements before a site visit.
Pre Property Assessment
A pre-property assessment is carried out to gather key information on the building, its current energy performance, and suitability for upgrades.
Tenant Application
Tenants complete a simple application to confirm eligibility for ECO4 funding. Our team supports them through the process to make it quick and stress-free.
Retrofit Assessment
A qualified assessor visits the property to carry out a full retrofit assessment, identifying the most effective measures to boost energy efficiency and EPC ratings.
Energy Efficiency Design
Based on the retrofit assessment, we design a tailored package of improvements that meet ECO4 requirements and deliver maximum benefits for the property.
Schedule of Works
A clear schedule of works is created, detailing the measures to be installed, timelines, and access arrangements to minimise disruption for tenants.
Work Completed
Our accredited installers complete the agreed upgrades to the highest standards, ensuring full compliance with ECO4 and industry regulations.
Post Property Assessment
A follow-up inspection is carried out to confirm all improvements have been installed correctly and the property meets the targeted energy performance standards. A new EPC will also be arranged to demonstrate the upgraded rating.
Handover Documents Provided
Once the project is complete, we provide full handover documents, including warranties, certificates, and compliance paperwork for your records.
