Reduced Heat Loss
Heat typically escapes from a home via windows, doors, walls, roofs and even floors. Air-tightness testing quickly identifies these problem areas so you can take remedial action to quickly reduce heat-loss in your home.
Air-tightness testing is a highly skilled process of identifying gaps and cracks within your property where heat is escaping through the external walls of a building. Air tightness is not only key to reduced heating bills but is also an essential component of a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient home. In conjunction with proper ventilation, air-tightness also improves the indoor air quality of a home. If your home is cold and draughty, we can identify where the draughts are coming from, advise you their impact and offer simple, practical advice on how to solve them. If you are considering draught proofing your home give us a call.

Proper air-tightness of your home can significanly reduce your energy bills by up to 30% per annum. You will also be helping to reduce domestic carbon emissions, now considered a leading contributor to climate change.
In conjunction with proper ventilation, air-tightness can help to eliminate damp and mold in your family home, greatly improving indoor air quality, while eliminating building related illness, known as "Sick Building Syndrome".
Air-tightness can raise the energy rating of your property, resulting in a higher market value. It can also make your home more desirable to potential buyers, in a market which is increasingly conscious of the need to save energy.
