Local knowledge

Thanet, the Isle of Kent.

Thanet has one of the highest concentrations of Victorian and older housing in Kent – Regency terraces in Ramsgate, Margate’s Old Town, Broadstairs’ seaside streets and the bungalows of Birchington and Westgate.

We are based just along the coast in Herne Bay and have worked across all of Thanet since 2008. See our pages for Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Birchington.

Thanet’s homes

What we see in Thanet, and what it means for your rating.

Regency and Victorian seafronts

Tall period terraces, many listed; improvements must suit the building.

Converted flats

Each flat has its own rating and its own route to band C.

Bungalows

Birchington and Westgate bungalows: roof insulation is often the biggest factor.

Coastal exposure

Seafront homes face more weather – we record what is really there, not defaults.

Local case study

EPC Thanet case study: Roxburgh Road, Westgate-on-Sea CT8

A basement maisonette in a converted period building – already band C despite uninsulated walls, because homes above and a small floor area keep heat loss low. A good example of why converted flats often meet the 2030 target.

Questions

EPCs in Thanet, answered.

How quickly can you visit in Thanet?

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.

Which Thanet towns do you cover?

All of them – Margate and Cliftonville, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Birchington, Westgate-on-Sea, Minster and the villages in between.

Do converted flats each need their own EPC?

Yes – each self-contained flat that is sold or let needs its own EPC, and each is rated on its own.

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.
