Upper Stoke is the terraced quarter around Ball Hill and Gosford Green, built between 1900 and 1914 for the Singer and Humber works and now one of the most rented parts of east Coventry. Solid walls and an older housing stock make the MEES rules the main reason people call us here.
Yes. NextDay EPC provides Energy Performance Certificates throughout Upper Stoke (CV2), covering the Edwardian terraces around Ball Hill, Kingsway, Clements Street and Swan Lane, the houses bordering Gosford Green and Binley Road, and the many privately let properties close to the city centre and the university. Next-day appointments are the norm from our Coventry-based assessors.
The Walsgrave Road shopping strip known as Ball Hill is the heart of Upper Stoke, and the grid of terraces behind it went up in the Edwardian building boom to house workers from the cycle and motor factories on the Stoke side. Gosford Green, Coventry's first public park, sits at the western end, Binley Road runs along the south, and Stoke Heath and the railway lie to the north. Its position a mile from the city centre makes it a natural rental area for students and hospital staff.
These are solid nine-inch brick houses with slate roofs, bay windows and, very often, a two-storey rear addition, so an unimproved one sits at D or E. Loft insulation is usually the biggest single gain because the roof spaces are large and often near-empty, followed by a condensing boiler with a room thermostat and thermostatic valves. Double glazing is widespread but of mixed age. Reaching C generally needs internal wall insulation on at least the front and rear walls, and we say so plainly rather than promising otherwise.
Most of our Upper Stoke work is for landlords, many with houses let room by room to students or to staff at the hospital, and the certificate has to serve both today's E-minimum and the 2030 C target. An HMO is assessed as one dwelling, so we need access to every room. We give a costed order of works so the cheap measures come first and the wall insulation is only planned once the numbers show it is needed.
We provide domestic EPCs, commercial EPCs and MEES consultancy in Upper Stoke. Certificates are priced by property size from 60, appointments are usually next day, and you pay on the day. See every area we cover in Coventry.
Walsgrave Road, Bray's Lane, Kingsway and the rest of Upper Stoke in CV2.
Loft insulation, a modern condensing boiler with full controls, double glazing and LED lighting usually reach D. C typically needs internal wall insulation on the external walls as well. The certificate lists the measures in order of effect so you can plan them over time.
No. A house in multiple occupation is assessed as a single dwelling covering every room. The assessor needs access to all bedrooms and the loft hatch, so tenants should be told in advance. The certificate covers the whole house and is lodged the same day.
