Advice & Support

Pre-Test Advice:

Making sure you’re ready to have an air test carried out is very important, don’t get us in too soon.  If we arrive and the house isn’t ready to test, we then must reschedule for a later date, delaying the completion of your project.  Download our pre-test checklist and make sure all the items are complete before we test, this will give you the best chance to pass the test first time saving you time and money.

Common Problems:

The main issues come when a property isn’t quite ready for Air Testing. To be ready to test, the property needs to be as near as you can to the  point of completion. The most common problems are:

  • Pipes not sealed around, leaks from behing boxing, under bath, around toilet waste etc.
  • Plugs, sockets and light fittings left unfitted, down lighters hanging down.
  • No power – mains 240v electricity MUST be available to power our fan, a generator doesn’t give a steady current producing erratic results.
  • Loft hatch not fitted.
  • Sanitary ware and kitchen not properly fitted and sealed.
  • Leaks from behind plasterboard, where dot and dab it’s good practice to foam the bottom of plasterboard before fitting skirting or using sealant to fill the gap between the skirting and the floor.

To make sure you’re ready to test download our pre-test check list, allowing you to make sure everything is ready before we test.

We can arrange a pre-test site visit at no cost if we can tie it in with a local test but if you have done everything on the checklist this should not be necessary.
