Social housing ventilation programmes in Kent

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 Kent, from Chatham, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone, Margate and Ashford. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

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.
