Questions about MVHR servicing and filter changes in Northumberland

Is the survey free in Northumberland?

This is a charged visit because it is servicing, testing or repair work. We tell you the cost before booking. Surveys for new installations on the UK mainland are free.

Do I need to be at home for the service?

Someone needs to let us in and be there when we measure the valves, which means visiting every room. A service usually takes one to two hours.

My new build MVHR has never been serviced. Is that a problem?

It is very common and usually fixable. Builders often hand over without explaining filter changes, so the first service often finds filters that are badly blocked. We clean everything and reset the airflows.

Which rules apply to ventilation in Northumberland?

In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
