Air leakage tests and inspections

What Is Air Leakage? (pressure testing)

Identifies areas in your home that identifies heat loss areas.
These areas of heat loss are increasing energy consumption – costing you money.

Do you know

From July 2008 air leakage testing is required by law for new domestic dwellings. The regulation applies to new dwellings where planning permission has been applied for on or after the 1st July 2008 and where substantial works are not completed before the 30th June 2009.

Stage Testing Optional

1st Stage
This is where the house is pressure tested while under construction with external windows and doors installed. From this test we document any leakage points, giving you the advantage of ensuring all energy leakage points are addressed before final construction, saving time and money avoiding any problems occurring in the future.

2nd Stage
2nd stage pressure testing when the house is fully constructed to ensure that the build has been completed to the necessary high standard. Passing the required test.

Many of the tests and certifications we carry out will reduce cost and reduce inconvenience to property, tenant or organisation.

We test the home for uncontrolled flows and offer support/advice to obtain Local Authority Building Control approval.
