How we approach MVHR in Plumstead
Insulated ducts carry extract air from the wet rooms and supply air to the habitable rooms. Inside the unit the two airflows pass each other across a heat exchanger without mixing, so the incoming fresh air picks up heat from the outgoing air.
Retrofit in an occupied home
Ducts routed through the loft and down through cupboards or boxed corners. Most semis are done in 3 to 5 days.
New build or full renovation
Ducts go in at first fix before plasterboard, which is the cheapest and neatest time to fit MVHR.

Questions from Plumstead
What is the price of MVHR in Plumstead?
Guide prices for Plumstead use London rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £5,350 to £8,350 inc VAT per home. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How often does MVHR need servicing?
Filters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months, and a full service with a clean and airflow check once a year keeps the system efficient. Clogged filters are the most common reason MVHR stops working properly.
Can MVHR cool the house in summer?
MVHR is not air conditioning, but a summer bypass lets cooler night air in without warming it, which helps take the edge off hot rooms. For real cooling you would need a separate system.
Is the survey free in Plumstead?
