IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

We have been working behind the scenes making changes to the way we will operate from the 1st July 2025.

We’ve looked at how we can make savings for our existing/future Clients, by how the business is managed.

We are a small family business and have decided to separate R P Compliance in to two separate businesses. A new one ‘Future Homes Assessments Ltd’, dedicated to all the energy calculations required by Clients, i.e. SAP/EPC, Water Efficiency, Overheating, Excessive Glazing, Condensation Risk Analysis, etc., while R P Compliance will continue to provide the on-site testing, i.e. Airtightness, Sound Insulation & Ventilation Testing etc.

Future Homes Assessments Ltd is owned by Lee O’Brien who as many will know, completes all energy calculations for R P Compliance and has done so for the last 10+ years, along with his wife Michelle. Michelle will be providing administration and booking keeping for the business.
The company will not be VAT registered for the foreseeable future. This means that anyone requiring energy calculations only, will not be charged VAT, therefore making a significant saving for those that are not in a position to claim back VAT.

R P Compliance Testing Ltd remains in the ownership of Ros Piggott, but changes are also being made to the way the services are delivered.
After much consideration, it was decided many months ago to not renew our accreditation with UKAS, because the costs have far out-weighed the benefits. However, we will continue to maintain and work to the processes and standards when we were UKAS accredited.

What does this mean? We have looked at other tester schemes and have decided to use the ‘Elmhurst Registered Testers Scheme’ for airtightness testing. For sound insulation testing we have decided to withdraw the service. Our ANC registered Associates in Peterborough will be pleased to provide a quotation for all sound insulation testing. Just drop us a line and we will provide their contact details.

If you have any questions, please get in touch via e-mail ros@rp-compliance.co.uk

R P Compliance has been in the industry for over 12 years, and with more that 50 years combined experience, we aim to offer advice and guidance when and wherever we can (often free of charge). Below is a brief overview of one of the newer building regulations and one that has been effective since 2003. As changes are made in our industry, we will provide short insights to our Clients, followers and anyone in the industry to help keeping them up-to-date with the latest regulations, legislation & standards for the services we provide - see below.

Keeping You Informed:

What is Building Regulation Part O?

The updates to Building Regulations Approved Document Part O came into effect in June 2022, to address overheating in new buildings. 'Overheating' is approached on a basis of prevention and remedy.

Prevention: by limiting the amount of direct sunlight through windows and glazing. R P Compliance have qualified assessors to produce the calculations for you and make recommendations on how to comply. For more information go to Energy Calculations
