Building compliance means making sure your project meets the rules set out in the UK’s Building Regulations, covering things like safety, ventilation, energy use and fire protection. We help you understand what those rules mean in real life, before the build starts, during the work, and when it’s time to
SAP Calculations are energy checks we do for homes across the UK, and they’re needed when building a new house, converting a space into a home, or adding a big extension. They show how much energy your home will use and if it meets rules on heating, lighting, and more.
At Ratio Seven, we test how airtight your building is by checking for any gaps where warm air might sneak out. It’s all about helping you keep heat inside, cut energy bills, and meet current building rules. We use a special fan to spot leaks and let you know what
When you're building or selling a home in the UK, you’ll probably hear about SAP assessments and they can sound a bit confusing at first. We help people understand what they mean and why they matter. A SAP assessment looks at how much energy a home will use and gives
Airtightness testing, also known as blower door testing, is pivotal in whole-building life cycle assessments, significantly influencing energy efficiency and operational emissions by minimising air leakage and reducing the need for heating and cooling. This testing is essential for Whole Life Carbon Assessments, as it mitigates operational carbon emissions by
Permeability testing, also known as air tightness testing, plays a vital role in enhancing energy efficiency by identifying and rectifying air leaks in buildings.
