Avoid Costly Surprises Before Your Renewable Energy Installation

We provide independent renewable energy surveys for EV charging, Solar PV and battery storage for residential and commercial properties.

Surveys can be booked individually or combined, depending on the renewable-energy equipment you're considering for your property.

Depending on the service selected, our surveys assess relevant roof conditions, electrical infrastructure, proposed equipment locations, access arrangements, potential cable routes and site constraints.

We gather measurements, photographs and observations to help identify potential problems early, giving you and your chosen installer a clearer understanding of the property before installation planning progresses.

No. First-Rate Surveys is an independent surveying company.

We don't sell or install EV chargers, Solar PV systems or battery storage equipment. We survey the property and provide you with clear information that you can take forward to your chosen renewable-energy provider.

This means our survey is independent and installer-neutral.

Yes. You're free to choose whichever renewable energy provider or installer you prefer.

First-Rate Surveys is completely independent and doesn't sell or install equipment. Our reports provide impartial property information that can be shared with your chosen provider to support quotations, design decisions and installation planning.

You'll receive two professional reports:

Site Survey Report – A detailed record of the property, including relevant measurements, photographs, electrical infrastructure observations, proposed equipment locations and potential cable routes.

Renewable Energy Assessment Report – A separate assessment highlighting key survey findings, potential constraints, outstanding requirements and recommended next steps.

Together, these reports provide clear, independent information to help you understand your property and support your chosen designer or installer's planning.

Yes. We provide residential EV charging surveys, Solar PV surveys and battery storage surveys for homeowners within our residential coverage area.

You can book an individual survey or combine multiple services if you're considering more than one renewable-energy technology.

We provide residential renewable energy surveys across selected areas of Surrey and Berkshire, including Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford, Shepperton, Sunbury-on-Thames, Chertsey, Addlestone, Egham, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Woking, Windsor and Ascot, as well as surrounding areas within our coverage zone.

You can view the complete list on our Areas We Cover page.

If your property is outside our standard coverage area, contact us and we'll see if we can arrange a survey.

No. You don't need to have selected a particular EV charger, solar panel system or battery before arranging your survey.

Our role is to gather the relevant property and site information so you have clear information to take forward when discussing your project with renewable-energy providers.

Yes. We offer combined renewable energy surveys if you're considering more than one technology.

You can combine EV charging and Solar PV, Solar PV and battery storage, EV charging and battery storage, or have all three surveyed during the same property visit.

An independent survey helps identify potential problems before they become costly surprises.

Roof restrictions, electrical supply limitations, unsuitable equipment locations and difficult cable routes can lead to additional costs, delays or changes to installation plans.

By assessing your property independently, we help you understand these challenges early and provide clear site information you can share with whichever installer you choose.

Yes. Unexpected property conditions can result in additional work, revised quotations or installation delays.

Our surveys help identify visible constraints, access difficulties, potential cable route challenges and outstanding requirements before installation begins.

While no visual survey can guarantee that every issue will be discovered, identifying potential problems early can help reduce uncertainty and the risk of unexpected costs.
