Airtightness Testing UK Finds Air Leaks Fast and Accurately

We carry out airtightness testing to find where air leaks through gaps or cracks in a building, so those spots can be sealed before they waste heat and money. It’s like shutting a window you didn’t know was open. By spotting the sneaky places where warm air escapes or draughts sneak in, we help make homes and commercial spaces warmer, quieter and cheaper to run. In the UK, it’s something new buildings legally need to pass. We’ve helped loads of builders and homeowners across the country meet the rules and stay on schedule without stress. It’s all part of building better.

Why You Need Air Testing For New Builds

Since 2006, all new domestic and non-domestic buildings must undergo airtightness testing to reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs.

Conducting an air tightness test involves attaching blower door testing equipment to an exterior opening in order to pressurise the building and measure pressure differences that can identify problem areas within it.

What is a blower door test?

A blower door test is a systematic procedure used to evaluate the air-tightness of a building, essential for assessing energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and overall building performance. The test involves using a calibrated fan mounted in an exterior door frame to pressurise or depressurise the structure, with a manometer measuring the pressure differential. This process helps identify air leaks, allowing for corrective actions that improve energy efficiency, reduce consumption, and enhance indoor air quality. Additionally, the data collected from the test, often measured in air changes per hour or cubic feet per minute, guides the optimisation of HVAC systems and compliance with building performance standards.
