About Birmingham EPCs

Based in Solihull, West Midlands Orchard Assessments are able to provide EPCs throughout the Birmingham area. This is for existing residential properties and also for new builds, conversions and extensions (where a sap calc is required).

We have over 14 years experience during which time we have completed thousands of successful EPCs.

Being a local service we can keep our travelling costs down and pass those savings onto you, our customers. This means that we can offer fully compliant energy performance certificates (epcs) from £40 plus VAT.

We aim to provide a fast, friendly service. All you need to do is complete our form below and we will contact you to arrange for a convenient appointment.

Our inspection of your property will usually take around 30 minutes and the EPC document is produced within 24 hours and emailed to you and/or your Estate Agent.

SAP / EPC for new builds

As well as standard residential EPCs we can also offer EPCs for new build properties, extensions (where a sap calc is required) and building conversions.

Using an approved SAP software, the CO2 emission of a domestic building can be calculated based on the building specifications. Before commencement of building work, a SAP calculation should be carried out.

On completion of building work, another SAP calculation ('As Built' calculations) should be carried out based on the actual building specifications as the final building spec may have changed from the original plan. An EPC and built stage SAP compliance document can then be produced to show compliance with regulations.
