EPCs, Energy Reports & Damp & Mould Assessments Across Northern Ireland
From legally required EPC certificates to detailed energy reports and expert consultancy — we provide everything you need to understand and improve your property's energy performance.
Domestic EPCs
An Energy Performance Certificate is a legal requirement whenever a residential property is sold or let. In the majority of Buy to Let cases, an EPC rating of E39 or above is required by BTL mortgage lenders. Our accredited Domestic Energy Assessors carry out a thorough on-site survey of your home, assessing insulation, heating systems, windows, and more. Your EPC certificate is lodged on the national register and issued to you typically within 24 hours.
- Valid for 10 years from date of issue
- Lodged on the official EPC register
- Covers all residential property types
- Certificate issued within 24 hours
Energy Reports
We provide a detailed energy report and discuss potential upgrades to help increase the energy rating of your property — giving you a clear, practical plan to improve efficiency and reduce running costs. Our assessor will carry out a full survey to establish your current rating, then walk you through the findings and recommend cost-effective improvements tailored to your property. Once you've made the necessary improvements, they can return to carry out a further assessment and lodge your EPC at the higher rating.

Damp & Mould Reports
Independent, accredited damp and mould assessments for landlords, tenants, and homeowners across Northern Ireland.
What is a Damp & Mould Report?
A Damp & Mould Report is a professional inspection of a property to identify the presence, cause, and extent of damp or mould growth. The report documents findings with photographs, explains the likely cause — whether condensation, penetrating damp, or rising damp — and sets out recommended remedial actions.
Reports are produced by a qualified assessor and are suitable for use by landlords to demonstrate compliance, by tenants to support a complaint, or by homeowners seeking to understand and resolve a problem before it worsens.
What's included in the report?
- Full visual inspection of all affected areas
- Moisture readings using calibrated damp meters
- Identification of damp type: condensation, penetrating, or rising damp
- Photographic evidence of all findings
- Assessment of ventilation and heating adequacy
- Written report with clear remedial recommendations
- Delivered digitally within 24–48 hours of inspection
Who needs a Damp & Mould Report?
Private Landlords
Demonstrate compliance with your legal obligations under the Fitness for Human Habitation standard and Awaab's Law. A professional report protects you if a dispute arises and shows you have taken the issue seriously.
Tenants
If your landlord has failed to act on a damp or mould problem, an independent report provides documented evidence to support a formal complaint, housing authority referral, or legal action.
Homeowners
Buying, selling, or simply dealing with a persistent damp problem? An independent report gives you a clear picture of the cause and what needs to be done — before it becomes a costly structural issue.
Housing Associations & Councils
Meet your duty of care obligations and respond to tenant complaints with documented, impartial assessments carried out by an accredited assessor.
Awaab's Law & Landlord Obligations
Awaab's Law — named after two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who died in 2020 as a direct result of prolonged exposure to mould in a social housing property — represents a landmark shift in how damp and mould is treated in law. The legislation, introduced through the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, places strict timeframes on social landlords to investigate and fix damp and mould hazards.
While Awaab's Law currently applies to social housing in England, the principles are influencing wider housing standards across the UK, including Northern Ireland. Private landlords in Northern Ireland are already required under the Fitness for Human Habitation standard to ensure properties are free from serious damp and mould hazards. Failure to act on a reported damp or mould problem can result in enforcement action by the local council, rent repayment orders, or civil claims from tenants.
A professional Damp & Mould Report demonstrates that you have taken a complaint seriously, investigated it properly, and have a clear remediation plan in place — providing a strong defence in any dispute and helping you meet your obligations as a responsible landlord.
As a landlord, you are required to:
- Respond promptly to any tenant report of damp or mould
- Investigate the cause — not just treat the visible symptoms
- Carry out remedial works within a reasonable timeframe
- Keep records of inspections, reports, and actions taken
- Ensure the property meets the Fitness for Human Habitation standard
