Social housing ventilation programmes in Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire, from Northampton, Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden. The survey is free for new installations on the UK mainland, and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing.
