Specialist MVHR design, supply, installation and maintenance for homes, self-builds and holiday properties across Argyll.
Argyll’s landscape of self-build plots, converted farmhouses, rural holiday lets and coastal villages calls for a ventilation partner who’s comfortable working outside the central belt and travelling to less accessible sites. Clydebank Installations Ltd has over 35 years in the ventilation trade and 20 years focused specifically on MVHR, and we regularly design and install systems for properties throughout Argyll, from Helensburgh and the Cowal peninsula to Lochgilphead, Inveraray, Tarbert and Campbeltown.
We work directly with self-builders, architects and main contractors, which matters in Argyll especially as many projects here are one-off, architect-designed homes rather than standard estate builds, so the MVHR design has to be worked out properly rather than taken off a shelf.
Argyll sees some of the wettest, most exposed weather in mainland Scotland, and a huge amount of the property stock is either a converted traditional building or a new self-build aiming for high airtightness and energy efficiency. Both situations bring the same risk: without proper mechanical ventilation, moisture gets trapped, leading to condensation, mould and cold, damp rooms.
MVHR solves this by continuously extracting moist air from kitchens and bathrooms and supplying warmed, filtered fresh air to living spaces, recovering heat from the outgoing air rather than losing it. For farmhouse conversions and older stone properties in particular, getting the ductwork design right is a specialist job, not something to leave to a generalist.
Argyll is also home to a large number of holiday lets and second homes, where good air quality and low running costs (and avoiding damp complaints between bookings) are a real commercial concern as well as a comfort one.

Yes we regularly work on rural self-builds and farmhouse conversions across Argyll, not just the larger towns. Get in touch with your location and we’ll confirm.
Yes, though it needs careful design around existing walls and roof spaces. This is exactly the kind of retrofit project we specialise in.
Very much so! It keeps the property free of damp and musty smells between bookings and helps control running costs, without guests needing to think about it.
Clydebank Installations ltd fitted the MVHR system in my self build home In Millport , Isle of Cumbrae. The service from Allan and his team was courteous efficient and professional. The finished product was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor.
I have worked with Allan and his team on numerous projects, always found him very helpful, organised with extremely good workmanship, works extremely well alongside other trades onsite and is very accommodating, helping find solutions when the inevitable problems arise.
Anderson Floor Warming recently subcontracted Clydebank Installations to install the mechanical ventilation heat recovery system within a large, high-end spec. domestic property in the west end of Glasgow. Allan’s design input was very helpful and assisted us to tailor the outline design provided by the client’s Consulting Engineer. We found Clydebank Installations’ standard of workmanship to be very good and they were very professional in their approach throughout the installation and commissioning of the system. We have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
