Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in Diss

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

Whether the property is in the middle of Diss or one of the villages around it, the process is the same: a look at the building, a written price, then fitting and testing on the agreed day.

How we approach landlord ventilation in Diss

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.
