EPC, Fire Risk and Retrofit Services in Westminster
Coordinate EPCs, fire risk assessments, retrofit assessments and wider property compliance for Westminster landlords, agents, managers and housing providers.
Property compliance in Westminster
Westminster includes areas such as Westminster, Marylebone, Paddington and Pimlico. Typical property types include mansion blocks, listed buildings, mixed-use premises and commercial buildings. That mix means requirements differ from one address to the next, so we scope each enquiry around the property, its use and its occupation.
Services we coordinate in Westminster
Planning inspections for Westminster properties
Westminster contains flats, converted houses and mixed-use buildings. Accommodation above retail premises in Soho or a Marylebone converted townhouse can require different assessment scopes for residential units, shops and shared areas.
Clarifying the scope for your property
A commercial EPC is not the same as a domestic EPC. Facilities managers commissioning fire risk assessments should describe the area under their control and the building access arrangements rather than relying on a generic address.
Requesting a local quote: For properties in Paddington, Pimlico, Marylebone and Soho, please supply the postcode, property type, service or report requested, existing documentation and any access deadline. We can discuss the appropriate scope and provide a quotation. Explore services or request a Westminster quote.
Local authority requirements
Property licensing and enforcement priorities can vary by London borough and change over time. We check the property address and Westminster City Council requirements as part of the review rather than assuming rules from another borough apply. For HMOs, see our HMO compliance service and licensing guide.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Westminster?
Our focus is London, including Westminster. Send the full postcode and we will confirm coverage and availability for your enquiry.
Do I need an EPC to let a property in Westminster?
Yes. Landlords need a valid EPC before letting, and rented homes must normally meet the minimum energy efficiency standard unless an exemption applies.
Do HMOs and blocks in Westminster need a fire risk assessment?
The common parts of HMOs and multi-occupied residential buildings fall within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, so the responsible person must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment.
