Condensation, mould and landlords, Scottish Borders
Social housing ventilation programmes in the Scottish Borders
Survey-led ventilation upgrades across stock, with per-home records and tenant liaison, across the Scottish Borders.
- From £625 + VAT per home
- Free survey
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.
We carry out social housing ventilation programmes across the Scottish Borders, including Galashiels and Hawick. Prices use Scotland rates. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.
