Air Sealing

Compliant with Part L Regulations

At Blue Chip PFP, we specialise in professional air sealing solutions, ensuring your property complies with Part L of the UK Building Regulations, which focuses on the conservation of fuel and power. Our expert services include both temporary and permanent air sealing, designed to enhance energy efficiency and ensure airtightness for new builds and existing properties.

Why Temporary Air Sealing?

As buildings become more energy-efficient, achieving airtightness is vital to meet regulatory standards. Temporary air sealing offers a cost-effective solution for projects still in progress, ensuring compliance during crucial air leakage tests. This method controls ventilation and creates a temporary seal, enabling precise air permeability testing and helping your building meet Part L compliance.

Our temporary services are ideal for:

  • Ensuring Compliance During Testing: Before a building is complete, air permeability testing is often required. Temporary seals help control ventilation, preventing air leaks and ensuring the building passes the necessary compliance checks.
  • Preventing False Air Leakage Results: Without temporary seals, gaps around ventilation systems can create air leaks, skewing test results and potentially leading to failed tests. Temporary air sealing ensures accurate readings, reflecting the true airtightness of the building envelope.
  • Flexibility During Construction: Temporary seals allow for ongoing construction while ensuring compliance. They close off specific areas during intermittent testing phases, supporting progress without compromising test results.

Key benefits:

  • Quick and Efficient Installation: Our team works efficiently to apply temporary seals without interrupting your project timeline.
  • Non-Damaging Materials: The materials we use are easy to remove and won’t cause any damage, ensuring a seamless transition to the final stages of construction.

Why Permanent Air Sealing?

Permanent air sealing is a long-term solution for improving the energy efficiency, durability, and overall performance of your building. Properly installed air sealing helps to eliminate gaps around windows, doors, and other areas, reducing heat loss and lowering energy consumption.

Our permanent air sealing services provide the following advantages:

  • Improved Energy Efficiency and Reduced Heat Loss: By sealing gaps, your building will retain heat more effectively, lowering the need for excessive heating and cutting down on utility costs.
  • Part L Compliance: Permanent air sealing ensures your property meets the airtightness requirements outlined in Part L, helping you achieve regulatory compliance and reducing carbon emissions.
  • Lower Energy Costs: With reduced air leakage, your HVAC systems can operate more efficiently, leading to long-term savings on heating and cooling bills.
  • Enhanced Building Durability: Air sealing also prevents moisture infiltration, which can cause structural damage and mold growth. This added protection helps extend the lifespan of your building

How Our Services Work

Initial Consultation: We conduct a detailed assessment of your building to identify areas that require sealing.

Custom Sealing Plan: Our specialists design a tailored solution based on your building’s specific needs.

Installation: Whether temporary or permanent, we apply air-sealing measures to ensure your building meets airtightness standards.

Ongoing Testing: As construction progresses, we perform intermittent tests to maintain compliance, ensuring that the final test becomes a straightforward formality.

Final Testing and Compliance: We collaborate with certified air leakage testing companies to verify that all leakage paths are properly sealed, guaranteeing that your building meets the required regulatory standards.
