Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Kent

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

Across Kent the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Gillingham, Chatham, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone and Margate.

How we do it

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.
