Retrofit Assessments
Comprehensive energy assessments for whole-house retrofit projects. Unlock funding and improve efficiency.
What is a Retrofit Assessment?
A Retrofit Assessment is a comprehensive survey of your property under the PAS 2035 framework. It takes a "whole-house" approach to identify the most effective and safe energy efficiency improvements for your home.
Unlike a standard EPC, a retrofit assessment considers how different improvements work together, prevents unintended consequences like damp and mould, and creates a prioritised improvement plan tailored to your property.
- Required for ECO4 and Great British Insulation Scheme funding
- Comprehensive property survey and condition assessment
- Identifies ventilation and moisture risks
- Produces a Medium Term Improvement Plan (MTIP)
- Ensures safe, effective energy improvements
Why PAS 2035 Matters
PAS 2035 is the British Standard for retrofitting domestic buildings. It ensures that energy improvements are installed correctly, in the right order, and don't cause unintended problems like condensation or structural damage.
All government-funded retrofit work must now follow PAS 2035, making a proper assessment essential for accessing grants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about retrofit assessments
An EPC rates your property's current energy efficiency and provides generic recommendations. A Retrofit Assessment is much more comprehensive - it surveys your property's condition, identifies risks like damp and ventilation issues, and creates a bespoke improvement plan that ensures measures are installed safely and effectively.
Yes, for most government-funded schemes including ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme. A PAS 2035 retrofit assessment is mandatory. This ensures that funded improvements are appropriate for your property and won't cause unintended problems.
The property survey typically takes 2-3 hours depending on the size and complexity of your home. Following the survey, we produce your assessment report and Medium Term Improvement Plan within 5-7 working days.
The MTIP is the output of your retrofit assessment. It's a prioritised list of recommended improvements for your property, showing which measures should be done first, estimated costs, and potential energy savings. It provides a roadmap for improving your home over time.
Our assessors are qualified Retrofit Assessors under PAS 2035 and are registered with TrustMark. They hold relevant Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) and/or Retrofit Coordinator qualifications and undergo regular CPD to stay current with best practices.
