Social housing ventilation programmes in Merseyside

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.

If you are anywhere in Merseyside, send the postcode and a few photos and we will tell you what we would recommend. Towns we cover include Bebington, Huyton, Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens.
