Air pressure testing

Air pressure testing is a recognised method of measuring the extent to which air is lost through leaks in your building.

It’s often referred to as an air leakage test or air tightness test and it's important in helping improve the energy efficiency of your building.

A good level of air pressure means improved insulation and heating systems because less air is coming in, in the form of draughts, and less is leaking out.

LABC provides testing for both domestic and non-domestic buildings and is carried out with calibrated equipment to the ATTMA testing procedures by BINDT trained engineers.
