Cleaner Air, Healthier Homes – MVHR for Compliance & Prevention

Poor ventilation is one of the leading causes of damp and mould in housing, healthcare, and education environments. With the introduction of Awaab’s Law, landlords are under stricter duties than ever to prevent these hazards before they affect tenants.

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is one of the most effective solutions. By continuously replacing stale, humid air with fresh filtered air, while recovering heat to save energy, MVHR protects tenants, reduces compliance risk, and lowers long-term maintenance costs.

At Advanced Maintenance UK Ltd, we deliver installation, servicing, and compliance-ready documentation to ensure MVHR systems work exactly as they should, today and for years to come.

Ventilation Failures: Costs, Complaints, and Compliance

When MVHR systems are neglected, the risks to housing providers are immediate:

  • Tenant health risks: Poor ventilation leads directly to condensation, damp, and mould, key issues under Awaab’s Law.

  • False economies: Simply “cleaning” filters instead of replacing them reduces efficiency, drives up energy costs, and shortens system life.

  • Statutory pressure: Regulators now expect housing providers to prove that preventative measures are in place, not just reactive responses.

  • Reputation: Poor air quality and recurring mould complaints damage tenant trust and expose landlords to Ombudsman action.

In short, a neglected MVHR system is a compliance risk as well as a cost risk.

From Installation to Ongoing Compliance - We Handle It for You

 

Our role is to take the burden away from housing providers and facilities teams.

  • Installation & Commissioning: We supply and install MVHR systems to meet the needs of housing, healthcare, and education properties.

  • Planned Servicing: Annual servicing and filter replacement (not just cleaning) to keep systems efficient and compliant.

  • Documentation & Audit Evidence: Every service is logged through our Simpro system, with full service history available for audits or compliance checks.

  • Safeguarding budgets: Planned servicing reduces breakdowns, extends system life, and prevents costly repeat call-outs.

 

You hand us the requirement, and we provide a complete, compliance-ready service.

Keeping MVHR Systems Working as Designed

 

Installing an MVHR unit is only the first step. Without correct maintenance, systems lose efficiency, filters clog, and the problems of damp and poor air quality soon return.

That’s why we build planned servicing programmes around your housing stock, all tracked and managed in Simpro.

Our service includes:

  • Automatic reminders so no system is missed.

  • A full compliance history for audit and board reports.

  • Filter replacement available and recommended to maintain airflow, as surface cleaning alone reduces efficiency.

  • Performance checks to optimise energy use and reduce tenant bills.

  • Healthier indoor environments, reducing condensation, damp, and tenant complaints.

 

In line with CIBSE TM59 best practice, regular servicing helps MVHR systems manage both damp in winter and overheating in summer, ensuring healthier indoor environments for residents.

 

With planned servicing, MVHR is not just a piece of kit, it becomes a long-term compliance safeguard and a way to protect both budgets and tenants.

Case Study: Coming Soon

We are preparing a case study showcasing how MVHR servicing and filter replacement reduced damp complaints and improved tenant satisfaction.

Really excellent company. Reliable and skilled team. All costs are explained upfront, and best advice given. They fitted my first boiler years ago, and my new one just over a year ago.
