What the work involves
Common faults include worn fan bearings, failed capacitors and motors, condensate leaks, blocked filters, crushed or disconnected ducts, broken controls and humidity sensors that never switch the fan on. Sometimes repair is not worth it, and a modern replacement is cheaper to run; we will say so. For homes, a visit covers fans, PIV and MVHR.

Questions about ventilation repairs and fault finding in the Scottish Borders
Are prices different in the Scottish Borders?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In the Scottish Borders we use Scotland rates, so home repair or fault-finding visit, first hour (parts extra) is typically £90 to £160 inc VAT per visit.
Why is water dripping from my ventilation?
Drips usually come from condensation in an uninsulated duct, a blocked condensate drain or a duct sloping the wrong way.
Can you repair any make?
We repair most common makes. If parts are unavailable we will tell you before the visit and suggest options.
Is the survey free in the Scottish Borders?
This is a charged visit because it is servicing, testing or repair work. We tell you the cost before booking. Surveys for new installations on the UK mainland are free.
Which rules apply to ventilation in the Scottish Borders?
In Scotland, ventilation is covered by section 3 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks. Private rented homes must meet the Repairing Standard, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
