Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Leicestershire

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

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Leicestershire, from Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston Magna, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.

What the work involves

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.

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.

Fan upgrade per room

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