Landlord ventilation for Birkenhead properties
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.
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.
