Positive input ventilation (PIV) in Penarth
Loft or wall units that gently push filtered air into the home to tackle condensation. Covering Penarth and CF10, CF11 and CF64.
- From £750 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
If your Penarth 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 Penarth 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.

PIV for Penarth homes
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.
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.
