Social housing ventilation programmes in Greater London

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 Greater London, including Bexley, Barking, Archway, Sutton and Croydon. Prices use London rates. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.
