New builds, extensions and testing, Glasgow
Ventilation for new builds, extensions and lofts in Glasgow
Ventilation designs, MVHR or extract installs and the commissioning paperwork building control needs, across Glasgow.
- From £4,750 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
New homes, extensions and loft conversions need ventilation that meets the building regulations and is tested before sign-off. We design the system, install it at the right stage of the build, measure the airflows and provide the commissioning information building control asks for.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Glasgow, from Glasgow. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.

MEV or dMEV
Continuous extract systems where MVHR is not specified.
Extensions and lofts
Extract for new bathrooms and kitchens, background ventilation for new rooms.
Commissioning only
Testing and paperwork for systems installed by others.
