EPC Fishguard – Energy Performance Certificates

If you’re selling or letting a property in Fishguard, you’ll need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be marketed. An EPC provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improving performance.

This page helps homeowners and landlords arrange a local EPC in Fishguard quickly and efficiently, whether you’re preparing a property for sale, rental, or compliance.


Local EPCs for Fishguard properties

Fishguard has a varied mix of coastal housing, traditional Welsh homes, and surrounding rural properties. EPCs are commonly required for:

Older town properties and traditional homes
These can vary significantly in energy performance depending on insulation levels, glazing, and heating upgrades.

Post-war housing and family homes
Typically cavity wall construction, where loft insulation, boiler efficiency, and window improvements can make a noticeable difference to the EPC rating.

Modern developments and newer homes
Usually built to improved insulation standards, though heating systems, ventilation, and glazing still affect the final result.

Rural and edge-of-town properties
Energy performance can vary depending on heating type, insulation upgrades, and construction style.

Because EPC results depend on construction age, insulation levels, heating systems, and glazing, properties across Fishguard can produce very different ratings even within the same area.


What happens during an EPC assessment?

An EPC assessment in Fishguard involves a short, non-invasive inspection to gather the information required for the certificate.

The assessor will typically review:

  • Property size and layout

  • Construction type and wall structure (where visible)

  • Loft or roof insulation (if accessible)

  • Heating system, boiler details, and controls

  • Hot water provision

  • Windows, glazing type, and fixed lighting

  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

The visit does not involve drilling or disruption. Most domestic assessments take 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property.

Providing documentation for insulation, boiler upgrades, or glazing installations can help ensure the most accurate rating.


How quickly can I get an EPC in Fishguard?

In most cases:

  • Appointments are available within a few days

  • The on-site assessment takes under an hour

  • The EPC is lodged on the national register within 24 hours of the visit

This allows sellers, landlords, and agents to proceed without unnecessary delays.

EPC data for Fishguard

Figures below are for Pembrokeshire, the local authority covering Fishguard, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

2,797EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band DThe most common rating, on 37% of certificates
64%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£1,221Average estimated heating cost a year

That expiry count is certificates lodged ten years ago and now coming up for renewal. Some of those homes have already been re-certified since, which authority-level data cannot show, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a to-do list.

How Pembrokeshire rates

Share of the 14,667 certificates lodged in the five years to 2026 Q2. This is the certificates lodged, not a survey of every home in the area.

What gets assessed around here

61% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 102.8m², roughly 18m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £1,221 a year, £282 a year above the national figure. 26% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Fishguard

Fishguard sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where between 10 and 30 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

What an EPC costs in Fishguard

An EPC around here generally costs between £55 and £150, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.

What to expect when a Domestic Energy Assessor comes to your property

Every Domestic Energy Assessor / DEA will have their own order and format of carrying out the EPC depending on the software that they use and their personal preference to efficiency.
