Ventilation plays a key role in helping you look after the health and well-being of your resident and protecting the fabric of the building. We can support your long-term plans to help ensure resident health, prevent problems with condensation and mould and reduce on-going costs.
Social Housing
Getting it Right the First Time
Specification Advice
Our dedicated social housing team have a wealth of experience working in this sector and understanding the needs of the resident, registered provider and installer. They are available to offer expert advice to ensure the right products are specified and installed to provide effective ventilation.
Specifying the right product
When it comes to condensation, prevention is better than cure. As temperatures drop, social landlords often receive complaints where residents discover moisture within the property. The cause is usually condensation forming due to insufficient ventilation This can lead to a costly process for landlords having to repair any damage caused. The best way to prevent condensation is by ensuring that your home is correctly ventilated. It is therefore worth investing in the right ventilation.
Training
Staying ahead of the curve is difficult with so many aspects of a building to consider. To help, we can offer our partners free CPD courses on ventilation assessment and condensation and mould control. We also offer toolbox talks for installers covering product installation and good practice to help make every installation right first time.
Satisfied Residents
Resident satisfaction has for a long time been a key indicator of a housing provider's success. Improving ventilation offers housing associations with a simple way to combat condensation and mould and a clear route to better indoor air quality.

Social Landlords often receive complaints where residents discover moisture within the property. The cause is usually condensation forming due to insufficient ventilation. This leads to a costly process for landlords having to send electricians to rectify these mistakes and repair any damage caused by condensation in the home. It is therefore essential to specify a ventilation unit right first time, to avoid issues further down the line.

We understand that damp and mould reduces air quality and causes a barrage of health issues. Dampness is essential for the survival of house dust mites. Damp buildings encourage proliferation of mould, bacteria, house dust mites and other micro-organisms some of which are toxin producers or allergens. Damp buildings therefore run a higher risk of asthma, allergies, and skin problems. Planned repairs and regular checking of heating and ventilation of the property can help to prevent damp, condensation and mould.
Solutions for Planned Maintenance
Standardise your planned maintenance project
Not all homes are the same, but your ventilation solutions can be. Stocking lots of different fans can add complexity which means more to go wrong. Our energy efficient Lo-Carbon Revive is the ultimate “one fan on the van” being suitable for almost any situation.
How can Positive Input Ventilation help?
Positive input ventilation (PIV) can help where other types of ventilation have failed. It is a proven method of prevention for condensation and mould issues in habitable rooms without impacting on the living space of the resident. It can also greatly improve the indoor air quality improving lives for sufferers of asthma or allergies.
