Air Sealing

With experienced management and installation teams, we can offer rapid assistance in the event of an air test failure. Our range of air-sealing services can also extend to building temporary airtight screens and undertaking fire enclosure sealing and testing, e.g. in server rooms. Working in tandem with our air tightness testing division, we can enable the air leakage in a building to be quantified, by means of testing, and identified, by means of localised smoke testing.

We employ experienced air-sealing operatives who install appropriate, robust materials to seal the myriad of leakage sites that can occur, often in awkward,difficult-to-access areas such as roof voids, above suspended ceilings and in finished and furnished buildings. Preferably our work is planned, and at an early enough stage to maximise clear access and minimise costs. We frequently undertake targeted air sealing as an extension to passive fire protection and fire stopping works as, in certain situations, the two procedures overlap. Targeting of air-sealing work is vital to reduce the risk of incurring unnecessary cost. Our experience is key to achieving this. However, it is further enhanced by our ability to deploy testing fans, required to enable localised smoke testing to be carried out (smoke testing only works when a differential building pressure is created).

Engaging our co-ordinated approach on a given project also delivers commercial gain. If we are involved on a project, in any capacity, there are discounts available on the necessary air tightness consultancy, inspections and testing services (pro-rata to the contracting works value).
