What is Air Pressure Testing?
Also known as air tightness testing, air leaking testing, and air permeability testing, air pressure testing is a process whereby special fans are used to measure how much air leaks from a building as a whole. It’s a mandatory requirement for part L1A and L2A of the building regulations, and it must be carried out for every new build – whether commercial or domestic. The tests are a key part of the SAP calculations, which must be passed for any building to be legally sold.
Air Pressure Testing in Yorkshire
Air escapes through gaps and cracks, but the amount isn’t quantifiable without the special equipment and knowhow. In measuring the exact amount of unwanted air leakage in a building’s thermal envelope, our air tightness testing helps make Yorkshire’s buildings more airtight. That makes for cheaper bills for the future inhabitants and less harm to the environment in terms of CO2.

Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure is quite straightforward. First, we close up all the openings and then place a special fan – or a number of them – on an external door. Then, we take multiple air pressure readings before providing you with one final score.
It normally takes us around 45 minutes to complete air tests. Sometimes it’s less, but it’s very rarely more.
