Research by the Royal College of General Practitioners revealed a 114 per cent increase in people visiting their GP with hay fever symptoms in 2014, as more people took action against the seasonal condition. It is therefore hardly surprising that EnviroVent has seen a rise in sales of its ventilation systems that may help to relieve the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies.

Anna Woollven, a homeowner from Harrogate, is reaping the rewards of a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system supplied & installed by EnviroVent.

Rory Percival, Technical Manager at ventilation system manufacturer EnviroVent, looks at the impact that the new ErP (Energy related Products) Directive (residential and non-residential) could have on the ventilation systems that are specified and installed.

Air tightness and energy efficiency are key considerations for builders of new homes, but here Paul Croughan, National Key Account Manager for EnviroVent, looks at how good ventilation is equally important.

Registered social landlord who manages 16,000 tenant homes in the Yorkshire region, has found the answer to persistent mould problems in Wakefield.

Ask any landlord or letting agent what their major causes of tenant complaints are during the winter time and one answer will always dominate – mould. It is no surprise that mould growth is listed as a Category 1 hazard under the Housing Health and Safety Rating system (HHSRS). In 2009, the World Health Organisation (WHO) produced a report on indoor air quality. The report highlighted that poor indoor air quality poses a risk to human health. This is particularly increased where tenants spend a large proportion of their time within their home, such as the elderly or disabled.

A Grade II listed building in North Yorkshire has undergone a restoration and the occupants will experience all the benefits of a MVHR system.

Earlier this month, we caught up with Rebecca McLean, EnviroVent's Marketing Director who is leading the way when it comes to making people aware of the importance of indoor air quality and shared her top tips for improving the air quality in your home.

Many tenants tend to ignore the early signs of condensation and never mention it to their landlord until the problem has exacerbated, causing mould to spread across your walls, windows and ceilings. Despite the problem lingering for months beforehand the tenant then expects you to solve the problem in a timely manner and completely redecorate the damage that has been done.
