About ventilation installation services
Options run from trickle vents and intermittent extract to continuous mechanical extract and full MVHR with heat recovery, which only makes sense in a genuinely airtight building. Retrofitting MVHR into a Victorian house rarely pays; fixing the bathroom fan and the kitchen extract usually does.
