[Enquire Now](/contact) [07570 750981 / 07397 697171](tel:+447570750981) Rated 5.0 F-Gas registered · Fully insured Covering Manchester & the North West 92% Heat recovery efficiency Part F Building Regs compliant BPEC Trained installers Workmanship Guarantee Free Air-quality survey Service Overview ## Ventilation & MVHR Systems - what it is, who it's for and when you need it ### What it is Ventilation systems mechanically exchange stale indoor air for filtered fresh air. MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) does this while reclaiming up to 92% of the heat from outgoing air - keeping your home warm without opening a window. ### Who it's for Owners of new-build and retrofitted airtight homes, anyone fighting condensation or mould, asthma and allergy sufferers, commercial sites needing to meet Part F minimum air changes, and restaurant kitchens needing odour and grease extraction. ### When you need it If your windows stream with condensation, you smell cooking 6 hours later, your bathroom takes hours to dry, or your office hits 1500+ ppm CO₂ by mid-afternoon - your building needs proper ventilation. ### Why professional help matters Modern airtight construction traps moisture, VOCs from furniture, CO₂ from breathing, and cooking pollutants. Without designed ventilation, you breathe air that's often 5–10x more polluted than outdoors - and the moisture rots your timbers from inside out. Cost of Inaction ## What happens when this is ignored - and the mistakes that make it worse ### If left unaddressed - Black mould around windows, on ceilings and behind furniture - a £1,200+ remediation job per room - Timber decay in roof voids and behind plasterboard, hidden until structural damage appears - Asthma, allergies and poor sleep from high CO₂ and indoor pollutant levels - Failed Part F inspections on new builds and extensions, blocking sign-off ### Common mistakes to avoid - Relying on trickle vents alone - they deliver under 30% of required air changes in modern homes - Fitting bathroom and kitchen extract fans without makeup air paths - they short-circuit and barely work - Buying the cheapest MVHR unit without commissioning - uncalibrated systems waste energy and underperform - Ignoring duct cleaning every 5 years - fouled ducts halve flow rates and circulate dust Our Process ## A clear 5-step system - no surprises, no guesswork 1. Step 1 ### Air Quality & Site Survey We measure CO₂, humidity and air-change rates room by room, and inspect for moisture damage and existing ductwork. 2. Step 2 ### System Design Bespoke duct layout drawn to BPEC standards, MVHR or commercial unit sized to your building, fan curves modelled to your duct runs. 3. Step 3 ### Installation Rigid metal or semi-rigid ducting installed with minimum bends, terminals fitted, control panel sited for easy access. Typically 3–6 days for a domestic MVHR. 4. Step 4 ### Commissioning & Balancing Each room flow rate measured and adjusted to design spec, filters seated, controls programmed and a commissioning certificate issued. 5. Step 5 ### Handover & Annual Filter Plan User training, manual, manufacturer warranty registration and a filter-change reminder service to keep performance at design spec. Benefits ## The specific outcomes you can expect ### Eliminate condensation Continuous extraction at the source stops moisture from reaching cold surfaces - no more streaming windows. ### Up to 92% heat recovery MVHR recovers heat from outgoing stale air and transfers it to incoming fresh air via a thermal exchanger. ### Filtered fresh air G4 and F7 filters remove pollen, dust and city particulates before air enters your home. ### Quieter than open windows Designed installs run at 23–28 dB - inaudible and far quieter than traffic noise from open windows. ### Lower heating bills Heat recovery typically saves £150–£400 per year vs natural ventilation in a 3-bed home. ### Building Regs compliance Designed to Part F and System 4 standards - passes inspections first time, every time. Service Detail ## Every variation of ventilation & mvhr systems we deliver We design and install the full range of ventilation systems for Manchester properties: ### MVHR (System 4) Whole-house balanced ventilation with heat recovery. The gold standard for airtight new builds and deep retrofits. 92%+ heat recovery. ### MEV (System 3) Centralised continuous extract, with fresh air entering via trickle vents. A cost-effective compliance solution for typical new builds. ### PIV (positive input ventilation) Loft-mounted units pushing filtered air into the property at low velocity - the standard retrofit for solving condensation in existing homes. ### Local extract - kitchen & bathroom High-spec, low-noise extract fans for individual rooms with humidity sensors and timed run-on. ### Commercial ventilation AHU systems for offices, gyms, dental practices and food prep - designed to CIBSE standards with heat recovery and zone control. ### Kitchen extract canopies Stainless canopies, grease filters, make-up air and roof terminations for restaurants and dark kitchens - Gas Safe and DW172 compliant. FAQs ## Answers to the questions Manchester customers ask most How much does an MVHR system cost in Manchester?+ Domestic MVHR for a 3-bed home typically costs £4,800–£7,500 fully installed and commissioned. Commercial systems are quoted per design. Will MVHR replace my heating?+ No - MVHR provides fresh air with heat recovery. It reduces your heating load significantly but you still need a primary heat source. How often do filters need changing?+ G4 filters every 6 months, F7 filters every 12 months. We offer a reminder service and discounted filter packs. Can MVHR be retrofitted to an older house?+ Yes, where ceiling voids or accessible loft space exist. PIV is often a better retrofit choice for older, leakier homes. Is the system noisy?+ A well-designed system runs at 23–28 dB - quieter than a fridge. Cheap installs with sharp duct bends cause noise; ours don't. Will it solve my mould problem?+ In most cases yes - PIV or MVHR will eliminate condensation mould within 2–6 weeks of commissioning, provided existing mould is treated.
