Calibrated flow-hood testing and commissioning sheets for fans, MEV and MVHR, across Ayrshire.
- From £140 inc VAT per home
- Charged visit, price agreed first
Airflow testing measures how much air each fan or valve actually moves, using a calibrated flow hood, and records it against the required rates. It is how you prove a ventilation system works, and for new homes it is part of the building regulations.
Across Ayrshire the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Ayr, Irvine, Kilwinning, Troon and Prestwick.

What the work involves
Testing is also useful outside new builds: it shows landlords and homeowners whether existing fans meet the rates, and it is the first step in rebalancing an MVHR system that no longer feels right.
MVHR commissioning
Supply and extract at every valve measured and balanced.
Remedial advice
If a fan fails, we explain why and quote the fix.
MEV and dMEV commissioning
Trickle and boost rates measured and set.
