How we approach PIV in Kimberley
It does not replace extract fans: kitchens and bathrooms still need their own extract to remove steam at source. On survey we check the loft, the landing position and the existing fans, and we tell you if PIV is not the right answer.
PIV with fan upgrades
PIV plus humidity-controlled extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom for the most stubborn condensation.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.

Does PIV really stop condensation?
PIV reduces condensation in most homes because it dilutes moist air and keeps it moving, but it works best alongside working extract fans in the kitchen and bathroom. Leaks, rising damp or a cold bridge need fixing separately.
