Fresher air, less moisture damage

Positive input ventilation gently supplies filtered air into the home, usually from a loft-mounted unit, helping dilute moisture and stale air that drive condensation and mould on cold walls and windows.

This is a ventilation solution, not air conditioning. We survey suitable properties across Greater Manchester, specify the right unit, and install with tidy ducting and a clear handover.

Condensation and air quality, done properly

Ideal for many terraces, semis and flats with loft access where moisture is the problem. We check loft condition, electrics, diffuser location and whether PIV is the right tool versus extract upgrades or other ventilation work.

You'll get honest advice if the building needs a different approach first, insulation quirks, unresolved leaks or extract fans that aren't doing their job.

Black mould on the bedroom window every winter. PIV calmed it down within weeks and the loft unit is quieter than we expected.

PIV FAQs

PIV questions

All FAQs

A PIV unit usually sits in the loft and gently supplies filtered air into the home through a ceiling diffuser. That continuous fresh air helps dilute moisture and stale air that contribute to condensation and mould.

Modern units are designed to run quietly in the background. We site and set them carefully; on the survey we'll be honest about loft access, structure and what you should expect to hear.

Often yes, where there's a suitable loft and the moisture problem fits what PIV is good at. We survey first, some homes need extract improvements or other ventilation work alongside or instead.
