Most NHS and education buildings were designed decades ago, and the systems running them are well past their lifespan.

Decarbonisation doesn't happen in new builds. It happens in the retrofit of what's already there.

For us, that means heat pumps, solar, battery storage and the M&E infrastructure to make it all work in a live, occupied building.

The 2030 EPC targets are creating urgency. The estates teams who'll come out of this well are the ones starting those conversations now.

Managing an NHS or education estate? We're happy to share what we've learned.

If you manage a public sector estate in the UK, the EPC and MEES changes coming through 2026 are about to make life more complicated.

The direction of travel is clear. All non-domestic rented buildings will need to hit EPC B or higher by 2030 to remain legally lettable. The new EPC methodology is expected to go live in late 2026, and once it does, a lot of buildings that currently sit at C or D will look very different on paper.

For NHS trusts and education bodies, the challenge is compounded by the fact that these are occupied buildings. You can't take a ward or a classroom offline for six months. The retrofit has to happen around the people using the building every day.

The honest issue isn't 2030. It's that retrofit work takes time. Surveying the building, modelling the upgrades, planning around occupation, getting the right contractor in, sequencing the install. That isn't a six-month job. It's two years minimum on most estates.

The teams who'll come out of this well are the ones planning their retrofit pathway now.

If you're starting to look at your estate against the new EPC rules and want a practical conversation about phasing the upgrades, we're happy to have it.

Every year, same conversation. Plant due out over summer shutdown. Lead times that don't work. A client asking why we can't just make it happen.

Large plants run a on twenty to thirty week lead. By the time you add specification, isolation, crane access and commissioning, you're looking at nine months of planning for four weeks of works.

The clients we deliver best for book their scoping visit now – not in April.

If you've got plant due to come out summer 2027, let's walk the site before August.

Tommy Baker is one of our senior engineers and has been a consistent presence across some of our most demanding projects. Apprentices rotate through working with Tommy as part of their training, and that says a lot about the standard he holds himself to and the way he brings people on.

You'll get hands on with real project specifications and tender documents, gather pricing across labour, materials and subcontractor costs, and support our cost control from the first estimate right through to delivery.

Steve Bishop, our Managing Director, has joined the board of the Kent Chapter.

BITA is the Business International Trading Alliance, a network of business owners and directors across the UK and Ireland. The Kent Chapter is one of its most active, and we've built up a lot of good relationships there over the last few years.

For Steve, joining the board is a way to put a bit more back into the group that's supported the business, and to help shape where the Chapter goes next. Expect him to be pushing for the same things he pushes for internally, practical support for smaller contractors, more visible routes into the trades for young people, and better connections between the businesses actually doing the work across the South East.

Congratulations Steve, and thank you to the BITA team for the welcome.

If you're a Kent based business owner and you've been curious about BITA, worth a look.

Today is International Women in Engineering Day, and we want to use it to shine a light on Philippa MacKinnon.

Philippa joined Volmech in 2024 as a Trainee Project Engineer in our mechanical department, supporting tender submissions, operations admin, and project delivery. She came in and got on with it, and she is already playing a real part in how we grow the division. Exactly the kind of person you want on the team.

Women make up just 16% of the UK engineering workforce, and in building services the figure is even lower. The more businesses invest in the right people and give them room to grow, the sooner that changes.

Happy International Women in Engineering Day to Philippa and to every woman working in the industry. 👏
