Professional EPC surveys across Rotherhithe.
Rotherhithe is a peninsula postcode defined by the Thames to the north and the Surrey Quays retail and residential development to the south. Greenland Dock and the housing estates around Brunel Road form one of the largest concentrations of 1980s and 1990s new-build housing in inner south-east London, most of which was built to energy standards that now look dated compared to modern requirements.
Our assessors cover the whole SE16 peninsula including Rotherhithe Street, the Mayflower Park area, and the newer apartment blocks built during the Surrey Quays regeneration. Certificates are lodged with Elmhurst within 24 hours and we can arrange urgent same-day appointments for vendors and landlords with tight deadlines.

What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's a legal requirement in England and Wales whenever you sell, rent, or build a property.
- Legally required: You must have a valid EPC before marketing a property for sale or rent. Failure to provide one can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
- Valid for 10 years: Once issued, your certificate lasts a decade. No need to renew unless you want an updated rating after improvements.
- Includes recommendations: Every EPC comes with practical suggestions to improve your rating, from loft insulation to upgraded boilers.
- Registered on a public database: Your certificate is lodged on the government's EPC register within 24 hours of assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services in Rotherhithe
Properties in Rotherhithe
Rotherhithe's identity is shaped by its dock heritage. The historic streets running off Rotherhithe Street near Mayflower Park sit alongside large post-docklands housing estates and the more recent Canada Water regeneration zone. The result is a postcode with an unusually wide range of property ages, construction methods, and energy performance levels, making an accurate on-site survey more important than anywhere a single building type dominates.
Common property types
- 1980s Dock Conversion Flats: The first wave of residential development around Greenland Dock converted former dock structures into flats, many of which now have outdated heating systems and lower insulation standards than current builds.
- Post-docklands Estate Housing: The large housing estates on and around Brunel Road were built between the late 1970s and early 1990s to varying energy standards, often with electric storage heaters as the primary heat source.
- Riverside Apartments: Newer blocks facing the Thames on Rotherhithe Street have modern fabric standards but may use communal or district heating that needs specific assessment conventions.
- Surrey Quays Regeneration Homes: The most recent phase of development around Surrey Quays has produced high-performance dwellings with B or even A ratings, though they still require an EPC for any sale or let.
Typical EPC issues we find in Rotherhithe
- Electric Storage Heaters: Many 1980s estate properties on Brunel Road rely on electric storage heaters, which score poorly under RDSAP compared to gas central heating and can result in E or F ratings.
- Flat Roof Insulation: Low-rise blocks with flat roofs require the assessor to establish whether insulation was fitted above the deck or at ceiling level, which affects the U-value used in the calculation.
- Communal Heating: Some Rotherhithe blocks use a communal boiler or district heat network, which changes the way the energy assessment is carried out compared to individual apartment boilers.
- Older Double Glazing: Windows installed in the 1990s regeneration phase may be double glazed but with low-specification frames and glass that do not perform as well as modern units.
