Positive input ventilation (PIV) in Coventry
Loft or wall units that gently push filtered air into the home to tackle condensation. Covering Coventry and CV1, CV3 and CV5.
- From £795 inc VAT per home
- Free survey
If your Coventry 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 Coventry 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.

How we approach PIV in Coventry
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.

Rules that apply in England

All of the West Midlands. Near Coventry that includes Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton and Royal Leamington Spa.

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.
