Arrange an energy assessment for your property in Kingston upon Thames. Prepare for the visit, understand the right assessment route and discuss your booking with LPC.
Kingston Council’s retrofit planning advice encourages considering energy improvements during routine maintenance, such as window repair or replacement. If an EPC forms part of a sale, letting or refurbishment in Surbiton, New Malden or Chessington, keep a record of those completed upgrades. Window specifications, insulation documents and heating installation details can help distinguish recent work from older features. Where a property has several additions, identify the date and construction of each where known instead of assuming the whole house was built or upgraded at the same time.
The council’s Energy Saving Hub provides a route to broader home energy guidance, including building fabric, heating and ventilation. Use the EPC recommendations to decide which questions to take to a suitable adviser or installer, then consider the order of the work. Repairing a roof, for example, may create an opportunity to investigate insulation, but its suitability and detailing still need professional attention. For a flat, ask about shared roof ownership and communal systems before planning changes. An EPC inspection records the dwelling’s energy characteristics; any permissions, funding decisions and detailed installation design must be addressed through their own processes.
