 Building regulation guidance for the UK now requires that buildings meet air tightness requirements, in order to conserve energy and save money.

Part L (revised in April 2006) now requires all buildings (dwellings and commercial) to demonstrate air tightness and in the majority of cases this involves commissioning a competent body to carry out an air pressure test just before hand-over .

Using up to date portable equipment, Chiltern Dynamics (TRADA Technology's sister company) can provide you with reliable testing on site anywhere in the UK. Results are instantaneous and formal reports can be produced in two days.

We can also use smoke generators to detect leaks and weaknesses if re-testing is required.

Chiltern Dynamics run regular training days to explain the requirements, principles and practicalities of air tightness testing.
