Social housing ventilation programmes in the Scottish Islands
Survey-led ventilation upgrades across stock, with per-home records and tenant liaison, across the Scottish Islands.
- From £625 + VAT per home
- By arrangement
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 the Scottish Islands gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Stornoway and the villages around them.
