Airtightness Testing

A blower door test, sometimes referred to as an airtightness test, finds and quantifies air leaks in a building. These leaks impair the functionality of ventilation and insulation systems, lower energy efficiency, and raise heating costs. Our airtightness service includes utilizing a calibrated blower to depressurize your house and using smoke pens and sensors to find uncontrolled air leaks. After that, we create a thorough report that details the air permeability score of your house and points out particular trouble spots like cracks around windows, doors, or pipe penetrations. If you want to add low-carbon technology like heat pumps, which need controlled environments to function properly, it’s important to know how airtight your house is.

Additionally, it facilitates adherence to retrofit requirements such as PAS 2035 and the UK Building Regulations. Our service helps you understand how to correctly seal your property to prevent heat loss without compromising airflow. From basic draught-proofing to extensive fabric renovations, our staff will advise you on the best materials and methods for enhancing airtightness. Airtightness testing is a crucial phase in your energy improvement process, regardless of whether you’re managing a housing portfolio or renovating a single house. Every enhancement we make at Virko Easy Retrofit offers tangible, quantifiable value since we make this process simple and data-driven.
