Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Newbury

Between tenancies is the best time to fix ventilation in a Newbury rental, but we work around tenants too.

We cover Newbury and the surrounding RG14, RG19 and RG20 postcodes as part of our work across Berkshire. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we approach landlord ventilation in Newbury

Awaab's Law already sets strict timescales for social landlords, and the Renters' Rights Act provides for similar duties to be extended to private renting. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own standards, but the practical answer is the same: moisture has to be extracted.

Rental package

A PIV unit plus two humidity fans: a typical fix for a damp 2 to 3 bed rental.

HMO ventilation

Extract for every kitchen and shower room, often with continuous fans tenants cannot switch off.
