Single-room heat recovery units in Berkshire
Through-wall heat recovery for one problem room, without ducting the whole house, across Berkshire.
- From £650 inc VAT per unit
- Free survey
A single-room heat recovery unit is a compact through-wall fan that supplies and extracts air for one room while recovering much of the heat from the outgoing air. It is the answer when one bedroom, kitchen or flat has a condensation problem but whole-home ducting is not practical.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Berkshire, from Windsor, Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.

What the work involves
Either way, the room gets fresh air without the heat loss of an open window. They are popular in flats, in north-facing bedrooms where mould keeps coming back, and in rooms with no route for ducting. Two alternating units can work as a pair across a flat.

Questions about single-room heat recovery units in Berkshire
Is the survey free in Berkshire?
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.
How noisy are they?
On low speed most units are quiet enough for bedrooms; sound-reduced models are available. Boost speed is more noticeable.
Can one unit do a whole flat?
One unit treats one room well. For a whole flat, two paired units or a wall-mounted PIV unit with good extract fans is usually better.
Which rules apply to ventilation in Berkshire?
In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
