Social housing ventilation programmes in North Yorkshire

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 North Yorkshire gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Selby, Thornaby-on-Tees, Yarm, York and Middlesbrough and the villages around them.
