Every Home to EPC Band C. Costed, Modelled and Verified on Site.

It is our screening, modelling and surveying service for reaching EPC band C. We read each home's lodged EPC from the government register, test every combination of standard RdSAP improvement measures, and return the cheapest and least disruptive routes to band C with indicative costs, bill and carbon savings. Our DEAs then survey the priority homes, and the chosen package is confirmed in accredited RdSAP software before any works start.

Privately rented homes in England and Wales currently need band E to be let. The government confirmed in January 2026 that this will rise to band C for all tenancies on 1 October 2030, with a £10,000 cost cap per property, but the regulations are not yet in force. Social rented homes in England need band C, or an equivalent standard, on one measure by 1 April 2030, and on a second measure by 1 April 2039.

Under the confirmed policy, a landlord whose property is not already at band C on a certificate lodged before 1 October 2029 must commission a new EPC before starting works, then a post-works EPC before 1 October 2030. Planning in 2027 and 2028 leaves time to survey, price and install without competing for contractors in the final year.

Yes. Use the free EPC C checker to see your home's current band, how many points it is from C, and whether band C looks reachable within the £10,000 cap. If you want the measures, costs and order of work, ask for a costed Band C plan. A Strata DEA surveys the home, confirms the options in accredited software and lodges a new EPC after the works.

Yes. Send a list of addresses, postcodes or certificate numbers. We return the portfolio sorted into homes already at band C, quick wins, homes needing larger works and hard to treat homes, with a budget to reach band C, a programme phased by cost and a one-page options report for each home.

Yes. For council housing stock the process is the same as for housing associations: screen, cost, survey priority homes and lodge. Officers responsible for private rented sector enforcement can also use the register-based screening to see, from lodged certificates, which properties look to fall short of the standard. Our dedicated page for local authorities covers how this fits with procurement and evidence requirements.

No. Screening results are estimates based on the lodged EPC and RdSAP 10 conventions, and a new survey can move a rating by a few points, especially on older certificates. That is why every recommended package is confirmed in accredited software after a site survey, and a new EPC is lodged once the works are complete. The EPC C Pathway is an internal screening tool, not an accredited calculation.

Measure costs are indicative UK market ranges scaled to each home's measured areas, such as loft and wall area or the number of windows. They are a planning guide, not a contractor quote. Pricing for the screening and survey service is available on request and depends on programme scope.

No. Strata surveys, models and lodges. We do not install insulation or heating, so you choose your own installers and our evidence goes to them. For landlords who want the electrical safety certificate in the same visit, we also carry out EICRs.

No. Strata delivers EPC assessments, stock condition surveys and Level 3 Retrofit Assessments, working alongside the client's appointed Retrofit Coordinator. The pathway feeds your coordinator, designer and installers with evidence; it does not replace their PAS 2035 roles.

No. The EPC C Pathway covers domestic homes only, using RdSAP. We do not carry out non-domestic EPCs.
