MVHR installation in Abbey Road
Whole-home heat recovery ventilation, designed room by room and airflow-tested at handover. Covering Abbey Road and NW6, NW8 and W9.
- From £5,350 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
MVHR often makes sense in Abbey Road homes that have recently been insulated, re-windowed or made more airtight.
Whether the property is in the middle of Abbey Road 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.

What the work involves
In a draughty older house it still ventilates well, but less of the heat-recovery benefit is felt because warm air escapes through gaps instead of the unit. We check this on survey and tell you plainly if a simpler system would do the job for less.
Radial semi-rigid ducting
One small duct per valve from a manifold. Quieter and easier to balance than branched rigid duct in most homes.
Summer bypass and boost controls
Bypass lets cooler night air in without heat recovery; humidity or switch boost for showers and cooking.

Rules that apply in England
In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.
Questions from Abbey Road
Do you cover Abbey Road and nearby?
Yes. We cover Abbey Road and nearby places including Maida Hill, Regent's Park, Marylebone and Little Venice. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
