Social housing ventilation programmes in Hertfordshire

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.

Every job in Hertfordshire gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Welwyn Garden City, Cheshunt, Hatfield, Bishop's Stortford and Watford and the villages around them.

What social housing ventilation programmes involves

Awaab's Law came into force for social landlords in England on 27 October 2025. It sets timescales for investigating hazards, making homes safe from significant damp and mould, and dealing with emergencies, with more hazard types added from 30 November 2026. Ventilation contractors are a common part of meeting those timescales.
