Adequate ventilation is vital to ensure moisture doesn’t build up, which causes common issues such as mould and mildew.
Vent tests may also be referred to as ventilation air flow rate testing or ventilation flow rate calculation.
Simply request your quote using our contact form or by phone. Our customer care team will quickly get in touch during opening hours.
We will arrange an appointment with you, carry out the survey, and once completed send you an invoice.
As soon as we receive payment of the invoice, we will email your Vent Test Results. We also offer corporate accounts, with survey delivery on completion and monthly billing.
Ventilation Test bookings are to conduct the testing only. Our engineers are qualified ventilation testers, however if the report shows a ‘fail’, it is not the Ventilation Tester who is best placed, or responsible, to carry out the investigative work required to find out why the ducting or ventilation systems failed. If advice is required for a failing property, the electrician who installed the vents should be called back to investigate reasons for failure.
Part F in the Building Regulations is about ventilation and has been part of the Building Regulations since 2010, with significant updates in 2022.
We have engineers all over the UK, all of whom can carry out multiple vent tests in one working day, meaning that if you have a large development to test, we can efficiently help you keep in time with your deadlines. We also offer discounts for numerous bookings for the same appointment, contact us today to see if you are eligible for bulk discount.
During the test, a specialist bit of equipment called an anemometer is used to measure the ventilation air flow rate of each component of the system.
The length of the site visit depends on the amount of tests to be completed, size and complexity of the building(s), and ventilation systems.
A typical ventilation test, on an intermittent ventilation system (such as one you would find in a domestic bathroom) in a 3-4 bedroom property would last between 10-30 minutes.
On the other end of the spectrum, testing Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems can take between 2-6 hours.
The basic information we need to be able to provide you with a price for the survey is:
Once we have provided you with a quote, if you wish to go ahead and book we will also need invoicing details and contact details for whoever will be meeting us on site. We don't charge up-front, but will invoice you for the work on completion, and release the air permeability certificate to you upon receipt of payment. Our pricing includes use of equipment and travel, so the price we quote you is the total price you will pay.
After you have booked with us we will contact you or if you prefer an alternative site contact to arrange an appointment. Once we have visited site the report should be ready the next working day, at which point we will contact you to let you know it's ready and provide you with an invoice. On payment of the invoice we will email your Ventilation Test Certificate.
