Energy Performance Certificates in Atherton for homeowners and landlords
Situated between brooks and gently rising ground, Atherton grew from a farming hamlet into a busy industrial town. In the 19th and early 20th centuries it became a centre of coal mining, nail making, cotton spinning and ironworks, leaving rows of miners’ cottages and red?brick terraces alongside post?war semis and modern cul?de?sacs. As the last deep coal mine closed in 1966 and the final cotton mill in 1999, the town has evolved into a retail hub and residential community.Our EPC assessors understand this range of housing and examine insulation, wall construction, glazing and heating systems. Older cottages often benefit from loft and cavity insulation and draught?proofing, while newer homes can improve efficiency with condensing boilers and low?energy lighting. We provide clear advice to reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions, and you choose a convenient date and time when booking your survey.
