What is open now

EPC assessors and retrofit professionals for the West Midlands

The West Midlands county runs from Coventry in the east to Wolverhampton in the west, taking in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country. We are based at its eastern end, and most of our day-to-day work is in Coventry, Solihull and Birmingham.

Further west, we work with clients who have several properties or a larger building to assess: letting agents with stock in more than one borough, housing providers preparing for funded retrofit, installers who need assessment and coordination, and businesses with commercial premises to sell or lease.

One region, seven councils

The EPC rules are national. What differs from borough to borough is enforcement and licensing. In the West Midlands each metropolitan borough council is responsible for both housing enforcement and Trading Standards, so the same council deals with rented homes below the minimum standard and with properties marketed without a certificate.

Borough	How we work there
Coventry	Our base, and where we carry out every service.
Solihull	Homes, rentals and commercial premises across the borough.
Birmingham	Mostly landlords, agents and portfolios, with selective licensing in 25 wards to keep in mind.
Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton	By arrangement, for portfolios, commercial buildings and retrofit programmes.

What is driving demand across the region

Band C by 2030 for rented homes. Confirmed in January 2026, with a £10,000 cap and a transitional rule that rewards landlords who reach C before 1 October 2029. See our landlord guide.
Funded retrofit. The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and the Warm Homes: Local Grant both require PAS 2035, which means a retrofit assessment and a Retrofit Coordinator on every home.
Commercial minimum standards. All commercial lettings have had to be band E or better since April 2023, and the government is proposing band B from 2031 for larger buildings. See commercial EPCs.

Retrofit funding in the West Midlands

Retrofit funding works differently here from most of England. Under a pilot running from April 2025 to March 2028, the government has devolved part of three national programmes to the West Midlands Combined Authority: the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, the Warm Homes: Local Grant and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The work is delivered locally across the seven council areas.

The standards are the national ones. Domestic work has to follow PAS 2035 and PAS 2030, and lodgement through TrustMark is mandatory.
Landlords have their own offer. The combined authority's grant covers 70% of the cost of works on up to four rented properties rated D or below in specified areas, and 50% from the fifth.
Where we come in. PAS 2035 retrofit assessment, coordination and lodgement are the services we provide to social housing providers, local authorities and installers. See scheme and installer support.

Our guides to grants and schemes, heat pumps and solar panels go into the detail. Local schemes open and close as funding is allocated, so check the council's own page before relying on any of this.

Questions from the West Midlands

Our services in the West Midlands: your questions.

All EPC questions

Do you cover the Black Country?

Yes, by arrangement. We are based in Coventry, so in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton we work best with landlords, agents and organisations who can book several properties or a commercial building.

Can you take on stock assessments for a housing provider?

Yes. We work with housing associations and local authorities on EPCs, retrofit assessments and retrofit coordination.

Is the West Midlands the same as the Midlands?

No. The West Midlands county is the seven metropolitan boroughs around Birmingham and Coventry. The Midlands is the much larger region that also includes Warwickshire, Leicestershire and beyond. See all the areas we cover.

Do the rules differ between boroughs?

The EPC and minimum standard rules are national. Licensing schemes for rented homes are local, so they vary from one council to the next.

Do you provide retrofit assessment and retrofit coordination in the West Midlands?

Yes. Every Retrohaus service is available in the West Midlands: Energy Performance Certificates for homes and business premises, PAS 2035 retrofit assessment, retrofit coordination, energy advice and floor plans.

How much does an EPC cost in the West Midlands?

Domestic EPCs start from £50, commercial EPCs from £150 and floor plans from £35. The price for your property depends on its size and layout, and we confirm one figure before you book. See how our prices work.
