Trickle Vents and Ventilation across Greater London
Most Trickle Vents and Ventilation enquiries we take in Greater London start with an opening that is not a standard size. Most of what we survey locally is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and post-war infill, which is not built to any modern module. What accelerates it is high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity, and paint failure on south-facing sashes and rot at the bottom rail follows sooner than owners expect. The value is in keeping background ventilation compliant once you seal a house up, not in the timber bill.
Manufacture only starts once the survey figures are agreed with you in writing. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.
A local consideration we always raise: large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Greater London?
Yes. We cover the whole of Greater London including Croydon, Bromley, Ealing, Enfield and the surrounding villages. Large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions. Because high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
