What the work involves
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own standards, but the practical answer is the same: moisture has to be extracted. We work with individual landlords, portfolio landlords, HMO owners and letting agents.
HMO ventilation
Extract for every kitchen and shower room, often with continuous fans tenants cannot switch off.
Portfolio programmes
Multiple properties surveyed and upgraded to one standard, with a report per address.
