Social housing ventilation programmes in East Sussex

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.

We carry out social housing ventilation programmes across East Sussex, including Bexhill-on-Sea, Hailsham, Seaford, Rottingdean and Brighton. Prices use South East rates. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

Questions about social housing ventilation programmes in East Sussex

Yes. Retrofit under PAS 2035 needs a ventilation assessment, and we can install and test the ventilation measures that come out of it.
