Commercial EPC in Southwark

Southwark has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, evolving from a largely industrial borough into one of London’s most dynamic commercial areas. The cluster of towers and office buildings around London Bridge and the Shard now forms a major business district, while the South Bank stretching westward towards Waterloo combines cultural institutions, hospitality, and commercial space. Further south, Bermondsey’s converted warehouses and railway arches house a thriving mix of creative businesses, food and drink venues, and flexible workspace. Peckham and Camberwell add a layer of smaller commercial units and high street retail.

This diversity of building stock makes Southwark a particularly interesting borough for commercial EPC work. A new-build office tower at London Bridge, a converted Victorian warehouse in Bermondsey, a council-owned leisure centre in Peckham, and a retail unit on Walworth Road each present distinct surveying and modelling challenges. The borough’s mix of modern, heritage, and converted buildings means the SBEM conventions need to be applied carefully — especially in converted industrial buildings where construction details are often undocumented and default assumptions can significantly affect the rating.

Our team’s experience with both modern commercial buildings and complex conversions makes us a strong fit for Southwark’s varied property landscape. We understand how to handle the buildings that sit between the conventional categories — and how to ensure the EPC accurately reflects the building as it actually is.
