Rules that apply in England

Questions from Rugeley
Do you cover Rugeley and nearby?
Yes. We cover Rugeley and nearby places including Burntwood, Cannock, Lichfield and Great Wyrley. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
How much does PIV cost to run?
A standard PIV unit uses very little electricity, comparable to a low-energy light bulb on normal speed. A heated unit costs more in cold spells because the heater switches on when loft air is cold.
