Know your stock before the deadlines do
Decarbonisation targets, Awaab’s Law Phase 2 and funder reporting all start from the same place: current, accurate assessment data across the stock. Most associations have less of it than they think.
The problems we take off your desk
Coverage gaps you cannot see
Stock lists routinely include properties with expired certificates, certificates from before major works, or no certificate at all. An audit of what you actually hold is the cheapest piece of decarbonisation work you will commission.
Funded retrofit keeps stalling at assessment
The flagship social housing retrofit fund completed roughly 27% of its target — and assessment-and-design capacity was one of the reasons. Programmes that secure assessment capacity first are the ones that spend their allocation.
Phase 2 lands on 30 November 2026
Excess cold joins damp and mould as an enforceable hazard with investigation clocks. The properties that will generate those reports are identifiable now — poor fabric, electric heating, low bands — if the data exists to find them.
How we tailor the service for housing associations
Stock-wide coverage audit
We map your certificate position: what is current, what is expired, what predates works that changed the building, and where the gaps are — prioritised by risk.
Void-priority scheduling
Voids are the cheapest moment to assess. We work void lists on short notice so a certificate never delays a re-let, and occupied-stock visits are batched around your tenant engagement.
PAS 2035 assessments at programme scale
Retrofit assessments ready for coordinators and funders, delivered through accredited assessors, scheduled to your programme rather than our convenience.
Cold-risk targeting
Assessment data doubles as an Awaab’s Law tool: band, heating type and fabric findings identify the homes most likely to present excess-cold hazards before a tenant reports one.
Awaab’s Law — 30 November 2026 — excess cold becomes enforceable
Phase 2 extends mandatory response times to excess cold, falls, electrical and other HHSRS hazards. The associations that fare well will be the ones that found their cold homes first.
The compliance clock
Band E is the letting minimum
It is unlawful to let a domestic property rated F or G without a registered exemption. Roughly 60% of privately rented homes sit at D or below — compliant today, exposed tomorrow.
Housing associations — questions we get asked
We have thousands of homes. Where would we even start?
With the audit, not the assessments. Mapping what certificates you hold and where the gaps and risks are costs a fraction of blanket re-assessment, and it turns "assess everything" into a prioritised programme your board can fund in stages.
Can you work alongside our retrofit coordinator?
Yes — that is the intended shape. We deliver the PAS 2035 retrofit assessments; your coordinator (or one you procure) builds the improvement plans on top. We hand over clean, complete assessment data and stay available for queries.
How do you handle vulnerable residents?
Through your housing team’s flags and processes — confirmed appointments, identification, patience, and rescheduling without penalty when a visit is not right on the day. Occupied-stock assessment is done with residents, not to them.
What accreditations do you carry?
Elmhurst Energy (EES/036737) and ECMK accreditation, assessing under RdSAP 10 with full photographic evidence. Insurance and accreditation documents are available for your compliance files on request.
