Accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessors covering the whole of Somerset. We produce Level 3 Commercial EPCs (NDEPCs) using SBEM modelling for the county's office, retail, agricultural, industrial and hospitality stock — a market shaped by the M5 corridor logistics estates, agricultural conversions across the Levels, and heritage market-town centres.
Somerset-wide coverage
On-site Commercial EPC assessments across every Somerset postcode: TA (Taunton, Bridgwater, Wellington, Minehead, Watchet), BA (Bath, Wells, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury, Yeovil, Bruton) and DT (Somerset District areas that share DT postcodes).
Somerset commercial stock — what to expect
Three distinct sub-markets: the M5 corridor logistics and industrial estates around Bridgwater and Taunton (large single-skin warehouses, distribution centres), the heritage market-town retail and office stock in Wells, Frome and Glastonbury (Grade II-listed stone masonry, solid-wall thermal challenges), and Yeovil's aerospace and engineering estates (large industrial units with radiant heating and gas-fired process peripherals).
MEES exposure in Somerset
Agricultural conversions are a common Somerset story — barns and outbuildings converted to office, artisan workshop or retail use, often with oil or LPG heating and minimal insulation. These convert well on paper but frequently rate F or G under MEES 2023, requiring targeted fabric upgrades and heat-pump retrofits to become lettable.
Cities we cover most
Taunton (TA1–TA4), Bridgwater (TA5–TA7), Yeovil (BA20–BA22), Wells (BA5), Frome (BA11), Glastonbury (BA6), Shepton Mallet (BA4). Bath is served from our Bristol / Bath / North Somerset corridor coverage.
Pricing & Turnaround
From £180 for a small Somerset unit (< 500 m²). Medium (500–2,000 m²) typically £400–£800. M5-corridor logistics units and multi-unit sites individually quoted. Site visit usually within 5 working days of booking; certificate lodged within a further 5–7 days.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you attend a Somerset site?
For the M5 corridor (Taunton, Bridgwater, Weston, Yeovil) we can usually attend within 3–5 working days of booking — it's the most efficient stretch of our regular routing from Exeter. Wells, Frome, Glastonbury and the Mendips typically 5–7 working days.
Do you handle agricultural conversions?
Yes — a large share of Somerset commercial work. Barn and outbuilding conversions to office, workshop or retail use need a Commercial EPC on completion and on sale/letting. We model them in SBEM as normal but pair the EPC with an NDEAR advice report because these buildings almost always benefit from targeted retrofit (heat pumps, secondary glazing, roof insulation) — particularly relevant if the property is over 1,000 m², which under DESNZ's June 2026 interim response is proposed to reach EPC B by 2031 (pending secondary legislation). Smaller buildings remain at the current Band E statutory minimum.
Do you cover Bath and North East Somerset?
Yes — Bath, Keynsham, Radstock and the wider Bath and North East Somerset area are covered under our Bristol / Bath / North Somerset corridor coverage. See the Commercial EPC Bristol page for that market.
