MVHR servicing for Caterham homes
Over a year or two the filters clog, the fans work harder, airflow at the valves drops and the house slowly goes back to condensation and stale air. It is common for a system to go years without a filter change after the builder hands over.
Filter supply
The right filters for your unit, ready to change yourself between visits.
Fault finding
Noisy fans, error codes, condensate leaks and boost controls that stopped working.

Questions from Caterham
Is the survey free in Caterham?
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.
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.
How much does an MVHR service cost?
An MVHR service usually costs £145 to £245 including VAT, depending on the unit and how easy it is to reach. Filters are included for most common units; rebalancing every valve is priced separately at £245 to £445.
