Salvation Army installs Kair for Tenants!

We were recently called in by the Salvation Army to install new fans in some of their accommodation in Ashford.

The Old School, built in 1884, was used as a school until 1952.

The building was converted into 18 flats in 1994.  Some of the original four ventilation fans required replacing and Kiltox were contracted to undertake this work as and when the flats became vacant.

Kair Heat Recovery Ventilator fans are being installed in the bedrooms as well as humidistat controls to existing fans in the kitchens and bathrooms.  As each property is different the surveyor has to evaluate each separately.  Where possible, when the existing fans are replaced they will be repaired and installed in other locations.  Properties scheduled for similar work are located in Bournemouth, Clacton, Dartford and Ross-on-Wye, when funds become available.

Mr Brian Sillick, Maintenance Officer of the Salvation Army Housing Association, who has 760 properties under his management, said, “The Salvation Army Housing Association currently houses rising 2,000 people in their properties which are all over the country.  This, as you can imagine, involves a lot of remedial work particularly when older buildings are involved.  We like to think that the properties under our control are kept in peak condition which is why we pay attention to the small problems before they escalate”.
