Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Hertfordshire

For Hertfordshire rentals, we fit ventilation that tenants cannot switch off and forget.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Hertfordshire, from Welwyn Garden City, Cheshunt, Hatfield, Bishop's Stortford and Watford. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

In England, damp and mould is one of the hazards assessed under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and councils can take enforcement action. 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.

Fan upgrade per room

Humidity-controlled or continuous fans in kitchens and bathrooms, ducted to outside.

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.
