Social housing ventilation programmes in Berkshire

Social landlords need to find and fix damp and mould hazards quickly, and ventilation is usually the core of the fix. We survey homes, install continuous extract, PIV or heat recovery as needed, measure the airflow, and report per address so your asset and compliance teams have evidence of what was done.

Across Berkshire the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Lower Earley, Windsor, Reading, Slough and Bracknell.
