Your property brief
ESOS Assessments
A qualification review, reporting phase or incomplete evidence can require ESOS support. Establish the organisation and group structure before deciding the assessment scope. ESOS is an organisational scheme and should not be treated as a certificate for one building.
Discuss this service
What the service can include
The brief identifies qualification, energy data, audit or compliance routes, lead-assessor requirements and reporting responsibilities. It defines evidence gathering and the actions needed under the current phase. The accountable organisation retains the approval and submission responsibilities assigned by the scheme.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
What to consider
Scheme requirements can change between phases. Use current official guidance for qualification, deadlines, action plans and progress reporting rather than rely on a previous audit. A general energy survey does not automatically satisfy ESOS.
A closer look at the property brief.
The work starts with the property.Before we visit
Provide the organisation and property responsibilities relevant to the enquiry. Identify who holds energy data and whether the property forms part of a wider qualifying organisation. Agree the authorised customer and assessment boundary.
How we help
We establish the support requirement and organise data and evidence against the current scheme. Assessment and reporting tasks are coordinated with the appropriate parties. Handover identifies completed evidence, remaining actions and the organisation's next responsibilities.
What affects cost and timing
Organisational complexity, energy uses, data quality and audit scope affect cost. Lead-assessor and reporting requirements need clear treatment. Start with qualification and boundaries so effort is directed at the right entity and activities.
Property and sector applications
Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.
Local coverage
We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.
For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.
Frequently asked questions
Is ESOS required for every small property owner?
No. Qualification follows the scheme's organisational criteria and current rules.
Can an EPC replace ESOS?
They are different requirements. The appropriate ESOS compliance route must be established.
Does an old assessment settle the current phase?
No. Review the current requirements and the evidence needed for the relevant phase.
Can property data support a tenant's assessment?
Agree the records and data permissions needed without assuming responsibility for the tenant's overall compliance.
