Hi everyone,

Just a quick introduction for anyone who might need an EPC.

I’m James, a local independent Domestic Energy Assessor covering York, Selby, Castleford, Pontefract, Tadcaster, Knottingley, Sherburn in Elmet and the surrounding areas.

I carry out EPCs for homeowners, landlords and anyone getting a property ready to sell or let.

Prices start from £85 and I usually have the certificate completed and issued within 24 hours of the assessment.

It’s just me – no call centre or middleman. If you contact me, I’m the person you’ll speak to and the person who’ll turn up to carry out the assessment.

If you need an EPC or just want to check a price, feel free to drop me a message.
