Expiry information
Commission and test fixed ventilation systems (including their associated controls) for retrofit projects and within new dwellings, as a Domestic Ventilation Inspector.
✅ Ventilation reports are required for new build compliance
✅ Ideal to offer alongside other services such as airtightness testing and acoustic testing
✅ Test and commission ventilation systems for retrofit work
What's involved in providing Ventilation Reports?
As an expert in this area, you will commission and test fixed ventilation systems (including their associated controls) for retrofit projects and within new dwellings, to ensure that they meet the criteria for adequate ventilation as required by Part F of Building Regulations.
Why provide ventilation reports?
With new build properties becoming increasingly more air tight, a renewed focus has been placed on ventilation and its correct installation. The requirement for adequate ventilation is present in both Part F of the Building Regulations and in PAS 2035 for retrofit projects, creating a buoyant market for those trained in this area!
Ventilation training provides individuals and companies with the relevant skills and knowledge to undertake ventilation testing for fan and mechanical heat recovery ventilation systems.
Crucial last piece of the jigsaw
A Ventilation Report must be carried out to demonstrate compliance with Part F of the Building Regulations. It is typically one of the last assessments to take place once a property has been constructed - along with the airtightness test - and should not be overlooked.
Offer multiple services
Those already offering on-site testing (such as airtightness testing) as well as SAP calculations/assessments will find that ventilation testing can complement these areas well, with a significant number of providers offering these services as a package.
FAQs
How much can I earn as a Ventilation Tester?
Many professionals include ventilation reports as part of a wider range of services they offer.
The fee for a ventilation report depends on factors such as the property’s size, complexity, and the number of fans installed.
Typically, prices start at around £40-£50 per fan.
Where do Ventilation Testers find work?
Many Ventilation Testers provide Ventilation Reports to their existing clients as an additional service.
You can also connect with Airtightness Testers, Architects, Builders, Acoustic Testers, and SAP Assessors - all of whom work within related fields. These professionals can be valuable contacts and a great starting point when looking for new opportunities.
