Accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessors covering the whole of Dorset. We produce Level 3 Commercial EPCs (NDEPCs) using SBEM modelling across every BH, DT and SP postcode in the county — a market dominated by the Bournemouth / Poole / Christchurch conurbation, coastal tourism from Weymouth to Lyme Regis, and Dorchester's market-town commercial core.
On-site Commercial EPC assessments across every Dorset postcode: BH (Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Ferndown, Wimborne), DT (Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Lyme Regis, Sherborne, Blandford) and parts of SP (Shaftesbury, Gillingham).
The Bournemouth / Poole conurbation delivers modern office parks, mixed-use redevelopments and 1960s–1980s retail parades that generally start at Band D–E and are candidates for LED/controls uplifts to reach Band C. Coastal Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Bridport add hospitality-heavy stock — hotels, B&Bs, restaurants — plus the coastal-corrosion challenges of coastal ventilation plant. Dorchester and Sherborne bring listed Georgian and Victorian market-town stock with solid-wall thermal challenges.
Coastal hospitality is heavily exposed — hotels and guesthouses running on old oil or gas boilers with poor DHW efficiency often sit at Band F, and cannot legally continue to be let under MEES 2023. Targeted heat-pump DHW retrofits, LED re-lamping and secondary glazing typically bring these into Band E–D on a 5–10 year payback.
Bournemouth (BH1–BH11), Poole (BH12–BH18), Christchurch (BH23), Dorchester (DT1–DT3), Weymouth (DT3–DT4), Bridport (DT6), Sherborne (DT9).
From £250 for a small Dorset unit (< 500 m²). Medium (500–2,000 m²) typically £400–£800. Travel surcharges apply for Sherborne, Gillingham and the Blackmore Vale — always declared at booking. Site visit usually within 5–7 working days of booking; certificate lodged within a further 5–7 days.
For the Bournemouth / Poole / Christchurch conurbation and coastal Dorset (Weymouth, Bridport) typically 5–7 working days from booking. Sherborne, Gillingham and the Blackmore Vale 7–10 working days. Urgent same-week service available on request.
Yes — a large share of the Dorset work. Coastal hospitality has an SBEM-specific profile (large domestic-hot-water load, occupancy patterns, coastal-corrosion of plant). We produce the Commercial EPC and pair it with a hospitality-focused NDEAR advice report ranking heat-pump DHW retrofits, LED re-lamping and heating-control interventions on the 7-year payback test.
Yes — the BH postcode straddles the Dorset / Hampshire boundary. Ferndown, Verwood, Ringwood, Fordingbridge and the New Forest fringe are all covered on the same routing as Bournemouth and Poole.
