Cheylesmore was built out almost entirely in the 1930s, so its avenues of bay-fronted semis share the same cavity walls, the same original lofts and often the same ratings. That makes the improvements predictable, and we tell you which ones actually move a Cheylesmore semi from D to C.
Yes. NextDay EPC provides Energy Performance Certificates throughout Cheylesmore (CV3), covering the 1930s semi-detached houses around Daventry Road, Quinton Road and Quinton Park, the homes bordering the War Memorial Park and the flats close to the ring road and Cheylesmore Manor House. Next-day appointments are usually available and you pay on the day.
Cheylesmore takes its name from the medieval manor whose gatehouse survives as the city's register office just inside the ring road, but the neighbourhood itself is a product of the 1930s, when the council and private builders laid out the avenues either side of Daventry Road. Quinton Park and Quinton Pool sit at its centre, the War Memorial Park forms the western boundary and Whitley and the Jaguar site lie to the south-east. The Daventry Road shops and Cheylesmore's schools keep it a steady family area.
Houses of this age have cavity walls that can be insulated cheaply if they have not been already, and the assessor checks for drill marks or a guarantee to confirm it. An untouched semi with the original 100mm loft insulation, a twenty-year-old boiler and single-glazed bay windows sits at D; the same house with filled cavities, 270mm in the loft, a condensing boiler and a room thermostat reaches C comfortably. Rear extensions and garage conversions are common along Quinton Road and need their own construction details recorded.
Cheylesmore has fewer rented homes than the inner areas, but the ones that exist are usually family lets that will need a C by 2030. For a 1930s semi that is one of the more achievable targets in the city, because cavity-wall insulation and a heating upgrade cover most of the gap. We flag on the certificate whether the cavities are filled, which is the first question any landlord here should ask.

The assessor looks for filled drill holes in the mortar, usually in a grid across the outside walls, and asks for any guarantee certificate. Without evidence, the walls are recorded as unfilled. If you have paperwork from a previous owner, have it ready on the day.
Yes. Filled cavities, 270mm of loft insulation, a modern condensing boiler with a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, and double glazing usually take a Cheylesmore semi from D to C. The certificate lists these in order of impact.
