Condensation and black mould are common in older homes and properties with limited ventilation. Problems are often worse from late September to February, when moisture collects on cold windows, walls and ceilings. We provide practical ventilation solutions across Ilkeston, Derbyshire and the wider Midlands, including Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units and upgraded bathroom or kitchen extraction. A correctly selected PIV unit introduces a gentle flow of filtered air, helping to reduce condensation, stale air and the conditions that allow mould to develop.

A loft-mounted PIV unit creates a gentle positive air pressure throughout the home. This steady supply of filtered air helps move humid, stale air out through natural leakage points, reducing condensation and creating a fresher, healthier indoor environment.

Because the property had a loft conversion, there was no suitable loft space for a traditional unit. We core-drilled through the wall into the second-floor hallway and installed a heated Flatmaster unit with a tidy finish.

Whether your existing bathroom or kitchen extractor fan has stopped working or your property has no fan at all, we can help. We replace faulty fans and install new extraction systems, including core drilling through solid brick walls where required. Shaw Electrical & Security is NAPIT approved, Part P registered and fully insured, giving you peace of mind that the electrical work will be completed professionally.
