Bridging certificates and reality

An EPC depends on evidence available at assessment. If you upgrade loft insulation after the last certificate, the register can lag until a new assessment.

Evidence worth keeping

Product specification for rolls or loose fill, and depth achieved in open areas.

Photos of depth markers if your surveyor recommends them.

Boarding notes because compressing insulation changes performance.

Completion Score angle

Accurate Documents help your Property Passport show work completed even if the formal EPC update schedules later.
