This page is for trades and installers. If you’re a landlord, agent or homeowner looking for a survey or works, start here.

Act Now Energy is a Liverpool energy and property surveying business. We carry out EPCs, whole-house property surveys, retrofit assessments to BS 40104 and retrofit coordination under PAS 2035, and we manage the works those surveys lead to. The 2030 EPC C deadline for rented homes means a growing pipeline of insulation, ventilation, heating and fabric work across Merseyside and the North West today, and further afield as the network grows, and every one of those jobs needs installers who can meet the standard the funding and the certification demand.

What the work looks like

Loft, cavity, internal and external wall insulation. Ventilation to Part F, extract fans, PIV and MVHR. Damp and mould remediation, render and pointing, roofing repairs, window and door replacement, heating and controls, electrical upgrades, fire doors and fire stopping in HMOs, plastering and general building. Some of it comes from a council notice with a date on it, most of it comes from a survey and a landlord who wants the property brought up to standard. Occupied houses and flats, so tidy working and good communication with tenants matter.

The standard

Retrofit measures are installed under PAS 2030 by installers certified for that measure, with a TrustMark registration, because that’s what PAS 2035 coordination and any funded scheme require. Gas, electrical and window work need the relevant registration. Everything is photographed before, during and after, and signed off against the design. If you already work to that standard, you’ll find us straightforward. If you don’t, this isn’t the list for you.

Every job is run by a qualified Retrofit Coordinator. That means the assessment, the design, the risk path and the lodgement are handled before you’re on site, and there’s one person managing the job from start to sign-off. You turn up to a scope that’s already been agreed, not a job that’s still being worked out on the doorstep.

How it works

  • Every job is priced fixed. We agree the scope from the survey and the design, you price it, and the figure you give is the figure you’re paid. No day rates, no measured accounts.
  • You get the scope, the survey photos, the design where there is one and the programme before you commit. You can say no to any job.
  • Payment on completion against a signed-off job, by bank transfer. Terms are agreed in writing before the first job.
  • Before your first job we’ll ask for your public liability certificate, your PAS 2030 or trade registration where the work needs it, and a signed short works agreement.
  • Registering doesn’t guarantee work. It puts you on the list we work from, and the list is ordered by trade, area, certification and who turns up on time.

Who we’re looking for

PAS 2030 certified insulation and ventilation installers, Gas Safe and MCS heating engineers, NICEIC or NAPIT electricians, FENSA or CERTASS window fitters, joiners and carpenters, and good damp, roofing, render and general building trades. If you hold a Master Joiner certificate or Institute of Carpenters membership, tick it on the form. Sole traders and small firms both welcome. If you’ve done ECO, Great British Insulation Scheme or Warm Homes work and know the paperwork, say so.
