How we work with landlords

	Step 1: Stock assessment We assess your stock data and use sophisticated algorithms to compare with data from our own database and other sources such as the national EPC register, housing stock data and Google Street View. We then enrich it and upload it back into your Asset Management system.
Step 2: Business plan We work hand in hand with your team to put together a business plan to deliver a programme to improve your stock. We can stage our approach and work on small or large projects to meet your requirements.
	Step 3: Retrofit Assessment & Floor Health Survey An in-house or external Retrofit Assessor will survey your properties to create a plan that will improve its energy efficiency. Part of the insulation installation, our surveyor will check if the properties are eligible for our robotic underfloor insulation by lifting a floorboard to examine the conditions, height & moisture levels underneath. Where necessary, Q-Bot may be required to fit additional background ventilation to ensure adequate levels are maintained and meet building regulation. We will use the data collected on site to update the information in your Asset Management system.
Step 4: Insulation installation We define a programme of work with you and organise the installations with residents to insulate their floors. Our installation process involves spraying a layer of spray foam, providing a material warranty of 25 years.
