Ventilation for landlords and letting agents in South Glamorgan

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

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout South Glamorgan, from Rhiwbina, Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

Rules in Wales

In Wales, ventilation follows the Welsh Approved Document F rather than the English version, with building control checking notifiable work. Rented homes in Wales must be fit for human habitation under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, and damp and mould is one of the matters considered.
