Social housing ventilation programmes in Dumfries and Galloway

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.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Dumfries and Galloway, from Stranraer and Dumfries. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.
