SAP Calculations (DIY?)

[Hozier]

We live in a 3 bedroom semi built in 2011. I have the original EPC / SAP. In 2013 we also added an orangery 3x4m to the rear. Now we're having a Supalite roof replacement including building regulations submission.

Once that is done - we want to remove the patio doors leading to the 'former orangery'. I've been advised that we need to complete a SAP and pay the council a fee. Is it possible to complete the SAP ourselves based on the original EPC and the Supalite U value information or is it way more complicated than this?

How much are council charging for a certificate? And how much does a SAP calculation cost if it isn't a DIY job!?

Thanks.

You could just remove the doors

Will the same issue not come up when / if we want to move?

You could put the doors back. They're just doors.

Nowhere to store them unfortunately.

Well with all the money you save on fees/certificates, etc. you can probably buy new doors, but obviously it's up to you.
