Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Hove

If you manage HMOs in Hove, continuous extract in every shower room and kitchen means tenants cannot switch the ventilation off.

Whether the property is in the middle of Hove or one of the villages around it, the process is the same: a look at the building, a written price, then fitting and testing on the agreed day.
