Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Herefordshire

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

Herefordshire has every kind of building, from old terraces to new estates and business parks, and every job is designed around the building in front of us, not a standard kit.

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. Jobs can be booked between tenancies or arranged with tenants in occupation, and every visit ends with photos and airflow readings you can keep on file.

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.

Portfolio programmes

Multiple properties surveyed and upgraded to one standard, with a report per address.
