Expert design, supply, installation and maintenance of MVHR systems for homes and businesses in Fort William and the wider Lochaber area.
Sitting under Ben Nevis with some of the highest rainfall in the UK, Fort William presents a genuinely demanding climate for any building to perform well in. Clydebank Installations Ltd has over 35 years’ experience in the ventilation trade and 20 years specialising specifically in MVHR, and we install and maintain heat recovery ventilation systems for new-build homes, timber-frame self-builds, renovations and hospitality properties throughout Fort William and Lochaber.
We work directly with architects, builders, main contractors and homeowners, and we’re well used to the practical realities of working in the Highlands, from weather-dependent site access to the timber-frame and high-airtightness construction methods common in the area.
Fort William’s extreme rainfall and exposure make airtight, well-insulated construction essential, but airtight buildings can’t breathe on their own. Without mechanical ventilation, moisture from everyday living has nowhere to go. That leads to condensation, mould and cold, damp rooms, undoing the benefit of good insulation in the first place.
MVHR resolves this by continuously extracting stale, moisture-laden air from kitchens and bathrooms while supplying warmed, filtered fresh air to living spaces, recovering heat from the outgoing air rather than losing it straight through an extractor fan or open window. For the many timber-frame new builds and self-builds in and around Fort William, this is often designed in from the start; for older properties and renovations, we retrofit systems to suit the existing building.
Fort William’s B&B, guesthouse and holiday-let trade also benefits directly. Good ventilation means fewer damp complaints, lower running costs, and less time spent airing out rooms between guests.

With over 35 years’ industry experience, Clydebank Installations Ltd is CSCS, PASMA, IPAF and BPEC certified, and fully insured. We work directly alongside architects, main contractors and other trades on site.
Given how airtight modern Highland new builds need to be, and how much rainfall and moisture the area sees, MVHR is one of the most effective ways to prevent condensation and damp while keeping heating costs down.

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.
