MVHR in Oldbury works the same way as anywhere else: a quiet unit, a duct to every room and a proper airflow test at the end.
Whether the property is in the middle of Oldbury 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.
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.

Rules that apply in England

Questions from Oldbury
What is the price of MVHR in Oldbury?
Guide prices for Oldbury use West Midlands rates: whole-home MVHR retrofit, 1 to 2 bedroom flat is typically £4,450 to £6,950 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 Oldbury?
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.
