Indoor Air Quality Assessment In Oxfordshire

Our Assessment

Our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessment measures the toxic particulates in your home. Using certified instruments, we measure:

• Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) – From indoor accumulation

• Particulate Matter – Fine particles from cooking and dirt

• Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) – Sum of airborne chemicals from paints, furniture, and cleaning products

• Formaldehyde – A toxic gas from composite wood and finishes

• Mould Spores and Allergens – Hidden in soft furnishings or damp corners

Our Process

1. Discovery Call – Understand your concerns and home layout

2. On-Site Assessment – Map Indoor Air Quality levels in bedrooms and workspaces

3. Detailed Report – Clear findings with prioritised recommendations—from quick fixes like moving a router to advanced shielding solutions

We follow the Standard of Building Biology Testing Methods (SBM-2024), which sets precautionary guideline values for sleeping areas.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Air quality affects more than just comfort; it shapes well-being.

Most of us think of air as clean if it smells fresh. However, indoor air can contain a mixture of invisible particles and gases that subtly impact how we sleep, breathe, and feel.

• Particulate matter (PM2.5) – tiny particles that reach deep into the lungs

• VOCs – airborne chemicals from paints, furniture, and cleaning products

• Mould spores and allergens – often hidden in soft furnishings or damp corners

• Carbon dioxide buildup – from poor ventilation, affecting sleep and focus

For families, especially those managing asthma, eczema, or hayfever, these exposures can trigger flare-ups, fatigue, and restless nights. Children are particularly sensitive, and symptoms often go unnoticed until they become chronic.

How Indoor Air Pollution Happens

Common Sources in Oxfordshire Homes

The air inside your home can be affected by everyday things you might not think about. Modern homes are often well-sealed, which means pollutants can get trapped and build up over time.

Here are some common sources we check during an Indoor Air Quality Assessment:

• Poor ventilation – When fresh air can’t circulate, CO₂ and moisture build up, creating the perfect conditions for mould and allergens.

• Gas appliances – Stoves, fireplaces, and heaters can release harmful gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.

• Building materials and furniture – Paints, glues, and furnishings can give off chemicals called VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

• Cleaning products and fragrances – Many everyday products add chemical compounds to the air.

• Dust and tiny particles – From outdoor air, cooking, and even office equipment like printers.

These pollutants are often invisible, but they can affect your health. Even small changes, such as improving ventilation, selecting fume-free products, or installing a HEPA filter, can make a significant difference. Our tailored report shows you exactly what to do for a healthier home.
