Across South Wales

Why it matters here

What you need, and why to use us.

01

MEES applies in Wales too

The MEES minimum-standard rules apply in Wales exactly as in England, so a Cardiff letting below EPC E carries the same exposure. Knowing your rating early is how you avoid a scramble.

02

New-build and refurb, certified

The new and refurbished space around Central Square and Cardiff Bay needs an EPC before it is let or sold. We survey new builds and refits and lodge them ready for occupation.

03

Victorian and Edwardian civic stock

Cardiff’s listed civic and commercial buildings, from the arcades to the Civic Centre, are not automatically EPC-exempt and need a specialist, which is us.

Every commercial building type

Whatever you own, we survey it.

From a single floor to a whole estate, Level 3 through Level 5, including the complex and heritage buildings other assessors turn down.

Offices

From single floors and serviced suites to whole buildings and business-park units. Level 3 to Level 5.

Retail & high street

Shops, units and parades in the centre and suburbs, turned around fast to keep lettings moving.

Restaurants & hospitality

Air-conditioning, kitchens and extract handled properly on food-and-beverage premises.

Industrial & warehouse

Trade counters, light industrial and logistics units across the local estates.

Mixed-use

The commercial elements of mixed-use schemes, split correctly.

Listed & heritage

Period and listed commercial buildings, surveyed by genuine specialists.

The cost of getting it wrong

Non-compliance is an expensive risk.

MEES penalties are based on rateable value, so in a high-value market the numbers are near the top of the scale. It is a risk that is simple, and cheap, to close.

Common questions

Commercial EPCs in Cardiff, in plain English.

Do you cover all of Cardiff and South Wales?

Yes, from the CF10 core, Central Square and Cardiff Bay out to the business parks, Penarth and towards Newport. Give us the postcode and we’ll confirm the earliest survey slot.

Do the MEES rules apply to commercial property in Wales?

Yes. The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards apply in England and Wales alike, so it is unlawful to grant or continue most commercial lettings in Cardiff below EPC E without a registered exemption. Your Cardiff EPC is also lodged on the same national register as England and Northern Ireland.

Can you survey Cardiff’s listed and period buildings?

Yes. The city’s Victorian and Edwardian commercial stock needs someone who understands the fabric; we handle these complex, sometimes listed buildings routinely and advise straight on any exemption.

How much does a commercial EPC cost in Cardiff?

Priced on building type and floor area, not location, so the same fixed price as anywhere. Tell us the building and size for a clear price and the earliest slot.

EPC Roadmap service

Beyond the certificate: a roadmap to a better rating.

A certificate tells you where you stand today. The EPC Roadmap, our improvement service from Engineered Efficiency, maps the most cost-effective path to a higher rating and keeps you ahead of every tightening of MEES.
