PIV for Mildenhall homes
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.
Loft-mounted PIV
The most common option for houses with a loft. Usually fitted in half a day.
Heated PIV
A heater module tempers the incoming air in cold weather. Useful in homes where people feel draughts.

Rules that apply in England
In England, ventilation is covered by Part F of the Building Regulations and its guidance, Approved Document F (2021 edition). For homes, it sets minimum extract rates such as 15 litres a second for a bathroom and 30 or 60 for a kitchen, and expects mechanical systems to be airflow-tested.
Questions from Mildenhall
Is the survey free in Mildenhall?
For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.
Will PIV make my house cold?
Most units temper or reduce the flow when the incoming air is cold, and a heated unit warms it. Placed correctly on the landing, the air spreads gently rather than blowing on anyone.
Can PIV be fitted in a flat?
Yes. Flats without loft space use a wall-mounted PIV unit that draws air from outside through an outside wall.
