Air Pressure Testing for building compliance.
Air pressure testing for residential projects, assessing air permeability and providing the evidence needed to support Building Regulations compliance and completion.
Test air permeability before completion.
Air pressure testing, also known as air tightness testing, measures how much uncontrolled air passes through the building envelope. It provides a clear result on the airtightness achieved by the completed building.
We carry out testing at the appropriate stage of construction and provide the results needed to support Building Regulations compliance and the project's completion requirements.

The right support at the right project stage.
Housebuilders
Coordinate air pressure testing across new homes and developments before completion and handover.
Property developers
Arrange testing and manage the evidence needed to support building compliance across residential projects.
New-build homes
Assess the airtightness of completed dwellings and identify potential air leakage before handover.
Construction and handover
Carry out testing once the building is sufficiently complete and ready for assessment.

Test results for compliance records
A straightforward process from preparation to results.
Review the project
We review the building type, construction programme and testing requirements to confirm what is needed.
Prepare for testing
We confirm the building is sufficiently complete and ready for an accurate air pressure test.
Carry out the test
We carry out the air pressure test and measure the building's air permeability performance.
Issue the results
We provide the test results and relevant documentation for the project and compliance records.
Clear results and evidence for your project.

Common questions
When should air pressure testing take place?
Testing should take place when the building is sufficiently complete for the result to represent the finished construction, while there is still an opportunity to address significant air leakage.
What does an air pressure test measure?
An air pressure test measures the air permeability of the building and helps identify how much uncontrolled air leakage is occurring through the building envelope.
What happens if the test identifies air leakage?
The results can help identify areas that may require further investigation or remedial work before the project reaches completion.
Can you test individual homes within a development?
Yes. Testing can be arranged for individual dwellings or coordinated across multiple homes within a wider residential development.
Keep the wider project on track.
Air pressure testing often sits alongside other completion and compliance requirements. These services may also be relevant to your project.
