Three brothers from Nottingham
EPC GO is run by Jack, Joe and Jorge Stevenson, three brothers who grew up around a family business that improved buildings and reduced the energy they used, long before any of it had a label.
That is where the approach comes from. Not from a compliance seminar, but from years of watching buildings get measured, surveyed, insulated and fixed — and watching how often the paperwork failed to describe what was actually there.
Why we set up a dedicated EPC arm
R2G Limited does a range of energy work. EPCs kept turning into the part clients cared about most, and the part the market served worst.
The pattern was always the same. Somebody needed a certificate quickly, took the cheapest quote on an aggregator, and got back a PDF with a letter on it — no explanation, no floor plan, nobody to call, and in too many cases a rating that did not reflect the building. Then they came to us to find out what it meant and whether it was right.
So we built a separate business that does EPCs, DECs and MEES work and nothing else. One phone number, one team, one job. The assessors who survey your building are the people who answer the phone about it afterwards.
What “evidence-led” means in practice
It is a phrase assessors use loosely, so here is exactly what we mean by it.
EPC software is deliberately conservative. Where an assessor cannot see or prove something, the methodology substitutes a default value that assumes the worst reasonable case. Unproven cavity insulation counts as none. An undocumented boiler counts as an old one. Lighting that was not properly recorded counts as inefficient.
Evidence-led means we go looking for the proof before we accept the default:
- We ask for construction drawings, insulation certificates, building regulations approvals, plant documentation, lighting schedules and O&M manuals before the visit, not after.
- We allow enough time on site to measure properly and photograph plant, controls, glazing and construction.
- We record what we find rather than what is typical for a building of that age.
- Where we have had to assume something, we tell you, so you know which parts of the rating are soft and what evidence would firm them up.
On a borderline building, the difference between a rushed assessment and an evidenced one is a whole band — and a band can decide whether a property can be let.
Accreditation
Our assessments are carried out by assessors accredited with Elmhurst, one of the UK’s leading accreditation bodies. Assessors are vetted, insured and work to the current government methodology, and every certificate is lodged on the official register within 48 hours of the survey.
Accreditation is the floor, not the differentiator. Every legitimate assessor has it. What you should actually be comparing is how long someone spends in your building, what evidence they ask you for, and whether they can explain the result when you ring them in six months.
How we work
- Fixed quotes. You get a firm price before anyone travels, and that is what you pay.
- One point of contact. The same person from quote to certificate to the question you ask a year later.
- 48 hours. Lodged within 48 hours of the survey; 2–3 working days end to end.
- Straight answers. If your rating is low, we will tell you why, whether it is a real problem, and what would genuinely fix it. If works are not worth doing, we will say that too.
