Positive input ventilation (PIV) in Eastwood
Loft or wall units that gently push filtered air into the home to tackle condensation. Covering Eastwood and DE7, DE75 and NG16.
- From £775 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
If your Eastwood flat has no loft, a wall-mounted PIV unit does the same job through an outside wall.
Whether the property is in the middle of Eastwood 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
PIV works well in houses and flats with general condensation on windows and cold walls. It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source.
Heated PIV
A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.
Wall-mounted PIV for flats
Draws air from outside through an outside wall. Suits flats and homes with no loft space.
