Retrofit Assessments (PAS 2035)
Whether you’re applying for funding or planning your next upgrade, we’ll assess your property quickly and professionally, with no unnecessary hassle.
What is a Retrofit Assessment?
“Retrofit” simply means upgrading an existing property, rather than a new build, to improve how it performs. In this case, making it more energy efficient.
A Retrofit Assessment is a whole-property review, carried out to PAS 2035, the UK standard for energy-efficiency retrofits. It looks at the building’s construction, condition, heating and ventilation to work out which improvements are right for your property.
The result is a clear, sequenced retrofit assessment report. Not just a list of upgrades, but the right order to install them in, avoiding issues from poorly sequenced work.
When a Retrofit Assessment Makes Sense
Applying for funding
Government-backed retrofit funding schemes make a PAS 2035 assessment mandatory before work can begin.
Planning improvements
Thinking about insulation, heating upgrades or renewables? An assessment shows what actually works.
MEES compliance
Landlords must meet minimum energy efficiency standards on rental properties. An assessment shows how.
Older or period properties
Older homes often need a more careful approach. An assessment avoids issues like trapped moisture or damp.

Common Questions about Retrofit Assessments
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the property. Get in touch with a few details and we'll come back with an accurate price.
Yes, where possible, we're able to carry out your retrofit assessment alongside an EPC or floor plan in the same visit, saving you arranging separate appointments.
The report sets out which improvements suit your property and the sequence to carry them out in, so you avoid issues like insulating before fixing damp. It won't specify exact products or brands, but gives you a clear plan to work from.
An EPC gives you a rating and general suggestions. A retrofit assessment goes much deeper, assessing the building fabric in detail and producing a proper improvement plan, which is what funding schemes and larger projects require.
Someone needs to provide access to the property, but you don't need to stay for the whole appointment if that's more convenient.
Not on its own, no, but it's a mandatory condition for most government-backed funding schemes, and increasingly expected for larger-scale energy efficiency work or MEES compliance.
