Airflow testing and commissioning in Lincolnshire

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.

We carry out airflow testing and commissioning across Lincolnshire, including Scunthorpe, Boston, Grantham, Cleethorpes and Spalding. Prices use East Midlands rates. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we tell you the cost before booking.

What airflow testing and commissioning involves

Approved Document F expects mechanical ventilation in new dwellings to be tested with a flow device that has been calibrated within the last 12 months, and the results recorded on a commissioning sheet. The person commissioning should be registered with a competent person scheme for ventilation or show evidence of competence; we tell you who will sign your sheet when we quote. 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.
