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 Lanarkshire 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 Motherwell, Rutherglen, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Meikle Earnock.

How we do it
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.
Remedial advice
If a fan fails, we explain why and quote the fix.
MEV and dMEV commissioning
Trickle and boost rates measured and set.
MVHR commissioning
Supply and extract at every valve measured and balanced.
