Local knowledge
Whitstable, from the harbour to Tankerton Slopes.
Whitstable’s working harbour, oyster sheds and narrow alleys give the old town its character, with Victorian terraces around Oxford Street and the High Street and larger homes along Tankerton Slopes.
We are based a few miles along the coast in Herne Bay, so Whitstable is part of our everyday round.

What we see in Whitstable, and what it means for your rating.
Old-town cottages
Narrow cottages near the harbour often have solid walls and rooms in the roof that need recording carefully.
Victorian terraces
Around Oxford Street and the High Street; loft insulation and controls are usual quick wins.
Tankerton seafront
Larger, exposed period homes with extensions – each part assessed on its own construction.
Chestfield bungalows
Roof insulation depth is often the quickest win; many cavities are already filled.

Questions
EPCs in Whitstable, answered.
How quickly can you visit in Whitstable?
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 areas around Whitstable do you cover?
Whitstable, Tankerton, Chestfield, Swalecliffe, Seasalter, Yorkletts and the villages around.
Can you do the EPC and a floor plan in one visit?
Yes. We can measure for a floor plan in the same visit, so both are ready for your listing. See EPC and floor plans.
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.
Does each flat need its own EPC?
Yes – each self-contained flat that is sold or let needs its own EPC, and each is rated on its own. We can assess several flats in a building on the same visit.
How can I check my current EPC rating?
Use our free Check your EPC tool. Type your postcode to see your home’s current rating, when the certificate expires and whether a new assessment could help.
