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.
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.

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 West Drayton
Is the survey free in West Drayton?
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.
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.
How much does MVHR cost to install?
A typical retrofit costs £6,450 to £9,450 including VAT for a three-bedroom house, and £4,950 to £7,950 when it goes in during a new build or full renovation. Flats start lower and large detached homes cost more because of the duct runs. We give a fixed price after the survey.
