Enpro UK provides on-site air tightness testing throughout the UK on both commercial and residential buildings. We also offer a free consultancy at design stage, or a one-off pre-test visit to highlight problem areas. Air tightness is the key feature of any energy efficient building; by reducing wasted heat and allows the buildings atmosphere to be controlled with mechanical ventilation heat recovery units creating a healthier environment.
Air-tightness testing is undertaken to determine a buildings air-permeability rating. Air tightness testing is an integral part of Part L of The Building Regulations which requires new buildings to meet specific air-permeability targets.
Achieving improved air tightness is a key factor in building contractors meeting the government's target for reduced carbon emissions and improved energy efficiency.
Please get in touch as early as possible in your build. We offer our technical expertise free of charge throughout the construction process, aiming to make your air test as straight forward and hassle free as possible.
Moreover, if your site fails an air test, we won't just walk away. We will talk to you and your management team and offer advice on what you need to do to gain your EPC. With input from one of our experienced engineers, we can usually resolve the problem on the same day.
