MVHR for Ivybridge homes
Filters on both sides keep pollen and dust out of the house and keep the exchanger clean. MVHR works best in a home that is reasonably airtight: a new build, a deep retrofit with insulation and new windows, or a renovation where ceilings are coming down anyway.
New build or full renovation
Ducts go in at first fix before plasterboard, which is the cheapest and neatest time to fit MVHR.
Radial semi-rigid ducting
One small duct per valve from a manifold. Quieter and easier to balance than branched rigid duct in most homes.

Questions from Ivybridge
What is the price of MVHR in Ivybridge?
Guide prices for Ivybridge use South West rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,625 to £7,250 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How noisy is MVHR?
Correctly sized and balanced MVHR is very quiet on normal speed; most people stop noticing it within days. Noise problems usually come from undersized ducts or a unit running flat out, which is why we design the rates first.
Do I keep my trickle vents with MVHR?
No. Under Approved Document F, background ventilators should not be installed with a whole-home MVHR system, so we advise closing or removing them once the system is commissioned.
Is the survey free in Ivybridge?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
