MEES Radar
Scanning Greater Manchester · commercial EPC data

Find the commercial buildings in your area that need new glazing - before your competitors do.

We use official EPC data to surface commercial properties across Greater Manchester whose certificates flag glazing improvements - and whose landlords face tightening MEES compliance.

Qualified, explainable leads. Not recycled lists.

Why this is hard

The buildings that need glazing are hiding in plain sight.

Commercial EPC certificates already flag where glazing work is recommended, and the data is public. But finding it means trawling the register postcode by postcode and cross-referencing it by hand - slow, inconsistent work that most firms simply don't have time for.

How it works

From your patch to a qualified list, in three steps.

MEES Radar is a managed service, not another tool to learn. You tell us where you work; we do the data work and hand you a list you can act on.

1

We define your patch

You tell us the postcode areas you cover, and we map every commercial property in them.

2

We filter and qualify

We work through official non-domestic EPC data, check each property's MEES and EPC risk, and flag the ones whose certificates recommend glazing improvements - then hand-check the top results.

3

You get an explainable list

A ranked, export-ready list with a plain-English reason each property qualified - delivered as a spreadsheet, not another platform to log into.

Explainable by design

Every property meets three tests.

Every property on your list clears the same three checks - and you can verify each one against the public record yourself.

Test 01

It's commercial

A non-domestic building - offices, retail, light industrial - that falls under the commercial MEES rules, not domestic ones.

Test 02

It's MEES-exposed

Currently rated EPC D, E, F or G. The minimum standard to let commercial space has been EPC E since 1 April 2023, with tighter standards under government review.

Test 03 · the difference

Glazing is flagged on the certificate

The EPC assessor explicitly recommends improving the windows or glazing - not our guess, their recommendation.

★ The strongest signal
The rating that matters

You already know this chart.

Every flagged property carries its current EPC rating, so you can see exactly where it sits on the scale.

Many commercial properties rated D/E/F/G are already close to, at, or below the current MEES threshold - and where EPC recommendations flag glazing improvements, they become stronger upgrade prospects.

1 April 2018New leases

Granting a new commercial tenancy on an F or G-rated property becomes unlawful.

1 April 2023All leases - the law today

The restriction extends to continuing to let - every privately rented commercial property below EPC E now needs a registered exemption.

Under reviewProposed, not yet law

Government has consulted on raising the minimum to EPC C, then B. Proposals, not law - but the direction landlords and their advisers are planning around.

Legal minimum to let - EPC E, in force since 1 April 2023

Proposals under government review would raise this minimum. Not yet law.

More than 4 in 5 commercial buildings in major English cities are currently rated below EPC B - the proposed future minimum (British Property Federation analysis, 2026). Every property we flag is anchored to the settled legal position, never to speculation.

The MEES Score

How every lead earns its score.

Every property on your list carries a MEES Score out of 100 - a single number that ranks how strong the opportunity is, built from four signals in the public EPC record:

Current EPC band

The further a building sits below the standards under review, the more urgent the conversation. The minimum to let commercial space has been EPC E since 1 April 2023, and F/G-rated stock carries the most immediate exposure.

Glazing flagged by the assessor

Properties where the EPC assessor has explicitly recommended window or glazing improvements score higher. It's the strongest signal that your trade is the fix - their recommendation, not our guess.

Floor area

Larger units mean larger jobs. We weight floor area so the list surfaces properties worth your survey time, within the size range SME contractors actually take on.

Certificate age

Older certificates suggest a building that hasn't been touched in years - and a landlord likely due a reassessment. Long-overdue stock scores higher.

The exact weighting is our own - it's what makes the list worth paying for - but every input is verifiable on the public EPC register, and we'll happily walk you through why any property scored the way it did.

The pilot

A paid, fixed-scope pilot - one firm per territory.

We define your patch, then deliver a set of qualified commercial property leads built from official non-domestic EPC data - every lead is ranked based on our bespoke scoring mechanism showing the strength of the lead.


Fixed setup fee plus a simple monthly retainer. No pay-per-lead, no platform to learn, no long contract.

Limited firms per territory - once it’s taken in your patch, it’s taken.

Regional Exclusivity

Territory-limited rollout

To ensure leads remain highly qualified and actionable, we work with a strict limit of commercial glazing partners per region. Once your patch is secured the data is locked to your business.

Who's behind MEES Radar

MEES Radar is run by Jack, BSc Business Technology Graduate based in Parbold, Wigan. I built Mees-radar because the data to find commercial retrofit opportunities already exists - it's just buried in government datasets that no one in the trade has time to dig through.

I'm not a lead broker reselling recycled lists. I build the data pipelines myself, from official sources, and I'll happily explain exactly how any property ended up on your list. I work with a small number of firms at a time, by territory, so the leads stay genuinely useful.

The pitch behind your pitch

Why landlords say yes to the work.

Every lead we send is a building whose owner has real reasons to act. When you call, this is the case you're helping them make:

Easier to let

Efficient space is simpler to market, and a building stuck at the legal floor is a harder conversation with every prospective tenant.

Cheaper to run

Glazing and fabric upgrades cut energy spend directly; on larger commercial units the saving compounds year on year.

Holds its value

Energy performance increasingly feeds valuations, lending terms and lease events; poor ratings are becoming a price-chip.

Headroom for what's next

With tighter standards under government review, work done now is work not done under deadline pressure later.

No guarantees, no invented numbers - just the commercial logic an EPC recommendation puts on the table.

Fair questions

What you’re probably thinking.

Q

“We already buy leads.”

These are property-level, explainable, territory-focused leads - not recycled lists.

Q

“We can get EPC data ourselves.”

True. The work is turning raw EPC/property data into a clean, qualified, contact-ready list.

Q

“We don’t want another platform.”

There is no platform to learn in v1. You receive a delivered list.

Q

“We don’t trust recycled lists.”

Every lead cites its EPC/property basis and a plain-English reason for inclusion.

Q

“Will this convert?”

The pilot is measured by lead quality, relevant conversations, and surveys booked - without promising a fixed result.

Where our data comes from

We don't make anything up, and we don't resell mystery lists. Every property we identify is built from official, public data:

EPC Register

Ratings & recommendations (gov.uk)

Companies House

Company & director details

MEES guidance

Compliance timelines, official sources

Every lead comes with a short explanation of why it qualified, so you can verify it yourself.

See it for yourself

Start with a free sample - a small proof of method, not the full service. We'll send five real commercial properties from your patch, each one showing its current EPC band, any glazing recommendation on the certificate, why it's MEES/EPC-relevant, a plain-English reason it made the list, and how it fits your territory. Prefer the bigger picture first? Ask for a walkthrough of the paid pilot instead.

We'll only use your details to send your sample and follow up. No spam, no sharing your details.
