I carry out domestic EPCs across Peterborough and the surrounding villages, covering the PE1 to PE8 postcodes. That includes the city centre, the township estates such as Orton, Bretton and Werrington, newer areas like Hampton, and nearby towns and villages including Yaxley, Whittlesey and Market Deeping. The price is the same wherever you are in the area: from £79, with no VAT and lodgement included. We cover all of PE1 to PE8, including all of PE6 and PE8, at the same flat prices.
The area notes below are a general guide. Peterborough has a real mix of homes, and each type tends to bring its own EPC questions. Here is what I typically find around the city.
Much of PE1 is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with solid brick walls, plus some interwar semis. Solid walls lose more heat than cavity walls, so ratings are often in the D to E range. Common issues are suspended timber floors, older boilers and lofts that have been partly converted or are hard to reach. Flats above shops and converted terraces are also common here.
The Ortons (Orton Goldhay, Orton Malborne, Orton Wistow and Orton Brimbles) were mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s as part of Peterborough's new town growth. Many homes have cavity walls that may or may not have been filled, so paperwork for cavity insulation makes a big difference. Fletton and Woodston have more older terraces and semis.
Bretton and Westwood are 1970s township estates with a lot of terraced and semi detached homes, some with flat or low pitched roofs where loft insulation cannot easily be seen. Longthorpe has larger older homes, where floor area and heating controls matter most.
Werrington and Gunthorpe have a broad mix, from the old village centre to 1970s and 1980s estates. Walton has more interwar and postwar semis. I often find good loft insulation here but older boilers and partial double glazing, which are worth checking before the visit.
These villages include stone cottages and period homes, some in conservation areas. Thick stone walls, older windows and oil or LPG heating are common, which can make a higher rating harder to reach. Accurate measurements and heating details really count.
A mix of village homes, bungalows and modern estates. The Deepings have plenty of 1970s to 1990s houses and bungalows, while Thorney has distinctive older estate cottages. Bungalows have a large roof area, so loft insulation depth has a big effect on the score.
Hampton is mostly built since the late 1990s, so many homes already rate B or C. If your home is newer, the original build paperwork can help me record it accurately. Stanground, Yaxley and Whittlesey mix older terraces, postwar semis and newer estates, so ratings vary widely from street to street.
Whether you are in a city centre flat or a village bungalow, my prices are the same: £79 for 1 to 3 bedrooms, £125 for 4 bedrooms and £150 for 5 bedrooms. Same day lodgement is £10 extra, and landlords get 10% off when booking two or more. See the full EPC prices, or read what happens on your EPC assessment day.
Because I am based locally, I can visit, often the same or next day, subject to availability, and your certificate is usually lodged within 2 to 3 days.
EPCs last 10 years. You can check if your property already has an EPC before you book. Landlords can also read our EPC guide for landlords.
