Advanced whole-house ventilation systems that recover heat from extracted air, providing fresh air while maintaining energy efficiency and reducing heating costs.
Centralized extraction systems designed to remove stale air from wet rooms, ensuring optimal air quality throughout your home with minimal maintenance.
Cost-effective ventilation solution that introduces fresh filtered air into your home from a central point, reducing condensation and improving indoor air quality.
Trusted by homeowners, developers, and housing associations across the UK for professional ventilation design, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Our NICEIC-certified team brings deep technical knowledge and a commitment to indoor air quality that sets us apart from general tradespeople.
More Than Just Installers—We Are Ventilation Engineers
While general electricians and plumbers may fit fans, Flexivent specialises exclusively in the science of airflow. Proper ventilation requires precise design, ducting calculations, and commissioning to ensure your system is quiet, efficient, and compliant. We don't just bolt it to the wall; we engineer it to work for your specific property.
Every home is different, and so is every ventilation solution we deliver. We carry out a thorough property survey to assess room volumes, occupancy levels, moisture sources, and existing building fabric before recommending the right system. Whether you need a whole-house MVHR for a new-build, a retrofit PIV to tackle condensation in an older property, or a cMEV system for a multi-storey flat, our engineers will design a solution that balances performance, energy efficiency, and budget.
Expert Engineers
Our NICEIC-registered engineers hold specialist qualifications in domestic ventilation design, installation, and commissioning. Every team member undergoes continuous professional development to stay current with the latest MVHR, MEV, and PIV technologies from leading manufacturers like Zehnder, Vent-Axia, and Nuaire.
Fixed Pricing
We provide transparent, itemised quotations before any work begins, so there are never hidden charges or unexpected costs. Every quote includes a full breakdown of equipment, materials, labour, and commissioning, giving you complete confidence in the investment you are making in your home's air quality.
Quality Reporting
After every installation and service visit, you receive a comprehensive digital report documenting system performance, airflow measurements, filter condition, and any recommendations. Our commissioning certificates confirm your ventilation system meets Part F Building Regulations and manufacturer specifications.
National Coverage
From London and the South East to Scotland and the Midlands, our network of local ventilation engineers ensures responsive service wherever you are in the UK. We handle projects of every scale, from single-dwelling PIV installations to multi-unit MVHR fit-outs on new-build developments.
Prompt Service
We understand that ventilation issues affect your comfort and wellbeing. That is why we offer priority booking with rapid response times, including same-day availability for urgent callouts. Our engineers carry a comprehensive stock of common filters, parts, and replacement units to resolve most issues in a single visit.
Full Compliance
Every Flexivent installation is designed and commissioned to satisfy Approved Document Part F of the Building Regulations, as well as manufacturer warranty requirements. We provide all necessary documentation for building control sign-off, ensuring your property meets current ventilation standards for indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

The Importance of Statutory Electrical Compliance (EICR)
Electrical safety is a statutory requirement for landlords and business owners across the UK. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, it is the duty of the 'Responsible Person\' to ensure electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition.
Our City & Guilds qualified engineers provide comprehensive EICR (Fixed Wire Testing) and PAT testing services that identify hidden defects before they become hazards. From commercial thermographic surveys that detect overheating components to emergency lighting testing for fire safety compliance, Flexitest Ltd delivers the quality reporting and remedial works needed to keep your property insured and your people safe.

MVHR Systems: A Complete Guide
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems provide continuous fresh air while recovering up to 95% of heat that would otherwise be lost. Learn how MVHR works, its benefits, and whether it's right for your home.
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems work by gently introducing fresh, filtered air into your home from a central unit, typically installed in the loft. Discover how PIV can eliminate condensation and improve indoor air quality.
Decentralized Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) systems are individual room-based extractors that remove stale air and moisture. Learn about the benefits of dMEV for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms.
Continuous Mechanical Extract Ventilation (cMEV) provides constant, low-level extraction through a central system. Find out how cMEV differs from dMEV and when it's the best solution for your property.
Not sure which ventilation system is right for your home? Compare MVHR, PIV, dMEV, and cMEV systems to understand which solution best suits your property type, budget, and ventilation needs.
Understanding Part F of the Building Regulations is essential for any ventilation project. Learn about the legal requirements, compliance standards, and how to ensure your system meets current regulations.
Professional MVHR & Ventilation Compliance Standards
Proper residential ventilation is more than just moving air; it is about building health and energy efficiency. At Flexivent, our NICEIC-certified engineers ensure that every MVHR and dMEV system complies strictly with Building Regulations Part F (Ventilation) and Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power).
A correctly installed Heat Recovery system can recover up to 95% of heat that would otherwise be lost, significantly reducing carbon footprints while eliminating issues like condensation, black mould, and high CO2 levels. Whether you are a developer working on a new-build project or a homeowner looking for a retrofit PIV solution, our team provides the technical reporting and flow-rate testing required for local authority sign-off and long-term peace of mind.
