New builds, extensions and testing, Highland and Moray
Ventilation for new builds, extensions and lofts in Highland and Moray
Ventilation designs, MVHR or extract installs and the commissioning paperwork building control needs, across Highland and Moray.
- 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.
We carry out ventilation for new builds, extensions and lofts across Highland and Moray, including Inverness, Elgin, Fort William and Nairn. Prices use Scotland rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.
Jobs in the remote Highlands and on the islands are by arrangement, with travel quoted in writing before you commit.
