Common Problems Our Ventilation Solutions Solve
We've successfully resolved these damp and condensation issues across hundreds of South Wales properties:
Condensation on Windows
Persistent window condensation, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms. Our ventilation systems maintain optimal humidity levels, preventing water build-up on cold surfaces.
Mould Growth in Bathrooms
Black mould appearing on walls, ceilings, and around windows. Ventilation removes excess moisture at source, preventing mould spores from thriving.
Damp Patches on Walls
Moisture patches appearing on internal walls, often mistaken for rising damp. Proper ventilation eliminates excess humidity that causes these issues.
Musty Smells
Persistent damp, musty odours throughout the property. Continuous fresh air circulation eliminates stale air and prevents odour build-up.
Peeling Paint & Wallpaper
Decorative finishes deteriorating due to excess moisture. Ventilation maintains dry walls, protecting your interior finishes and reducing maintenance costs.
Poor Air Quality
Stuffy, stale air affecting health and comfort. Whole house ventilation ensures continuous fresh air exchange, improving indoor air quality significantly.
Excessive Humidity
High humidity levels causing discomfort and health issues. Our systems maintain ideal 40-60% relative humidity, creating a healthier living environment.
Cold, Draughty Rooms
Inconsistent temperatures and cold spots. MVHR systems recover heat from extracted air, maintaining warmth while improving ventilation.
Asthma & Allergy Triggers
Poor ventilation worsening respiratory conditions. Continuous fresh air reduces allergens, dust mites, and mould spores that trigger symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ventilation solutions for damp problems:
How much do ventilation systems cost?
Ventilation systems typically cost £1,500-£4,500 installed, depending on property size and system type. This is significantly less than traditional damp proofing which can cost £5,000-£15,000+. We provide detailed quotes after a free survey.
Will ventilation solve my damp problem?
Ventilation solves 90% of damp problems caused by condensation and excess humidity. For genuine rising damp or penetrating damp from external sources, we'll recommend appropriate treatment during your free survey.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in 1-2 days. Simple PIV units can be installed in 4-6 hours. More complex whole house MVHR systems may take 2-3 days. We minimize disruption and work around your schedule.
Do ventilation systems increase heating costs?
No - MVHR systems actually reduce heating costs by recovering 85-90% of heat from extracted air. Traditional extract fans waste heat, but MVHR systems transfer it to incoming fresh air. You'll see energy savings, not increases.
What maintenance do ventilation systems need?
Minimal maintenance required. Filters need replacing every 6-12 months (cost: £20-£40). We recommend annual servicing (optional, £80-£120) to ensure optimal performance. Simple PIV units require very little maintenance.
Are ventilation systems noisy?
Modern ventilation systems are very quiet - typically 20-35 decibels (quieter than a whisper). Units are installed in lofts or cupboards away from living spaces. You'll barely notice they're running.
Do I need planning permission?
No planning permission is required for ventilation system installation. They're considered permitted development. We handle all building regulations compliance as part of our installation service.
What's the difference between PIV and MVHR?
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) introduces fresh air into your home, pushing out stale moist air. MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) extracts stale air and brings in fresh air while recovering heat. We recommend the best system for your property during the survey.
Will ventilation work in my old Victorian house?
Yes! Ventilation systems are excellent for period properties. They work in any building type - Victorian terraces, 1960s semis, modern builds. We've installed systems successfully in all property types across South Wales.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to spread the cost. 0% finance available on approved applications. We can discuss payment options during your free survey - no pressure, just transparent options.
