Social housing ventilation programmes in the West Midlands
Survey-led ventilation upgrades across stock, with per-home records and tenant liaison, across the West Midlands.
- From £650 + 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 West Midlands, including Walsall, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich and Birmingham. Prices use West Midlands rates. The survey is free for new installations on the UK mainland, and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing.

What social housing ventilation programmes involves

It sets timescales for investigating hazards, making homes safe from significant damp and mould, and dealing with emergencies, with more hazard types added from 30 November 2026. Ventilation contractors are a common part of meeting those timescales.
