Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Merseyside

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

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Merseyside, from St Helens, Southport, Wallasey, Bootle and Bebington. 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.

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.
