Local knowledge
Sandwich, a Cinque Port on the Stour.
Sandwich is one of England’s best-preserved medieval towns: a former Cinque Port on the River Stour, with the Barbican, the Guildhall and streets of timber-framed and Georgian-fronted houses.
Its conservation area has an Article 4 Direction, so external changes are controlled – which shapes what improvements are realistic. Our 01304 number is a local call from Sandwich.

Listed homes in the old town
Solid and timber-framed walls and single glazing, recorded carefully with sympathetic advice.

Small lofts and solid walls; loft insulation and controls where possible.

Ash, Eastry and Worth homes are sometimes off-gas, with a big effect on the rating.

Questions
EPCs in Sandwich, answered.
Do listed buildings in Sandwich need an EPC?
Usually, if they are being sold or let. Some listed buildings can be exempt, but the exemption is narrow – see our listed buildings guide.
How quickly can you visit in Sandwich?
We call back within minutes during office hours to arrange a visit at a time that suits you, and we lodge your EPC on the register the same day as the assessment.
Can I improve the EPC of a house in the conservation area?
Often, yes. Loft insulation, heating controls, lighting and many heating upgrades don’t change the outside. New windows need permission under the Article 4 Direction – check with Dover District Council first.
How long does an EPC last?
Ten years. If you have made improvements since your last EPC, a new assessment can show a better rating. Our guide to improving your EPC explains what makes a difference.
