If you’re working through Building Regulations and need clear, defensible results for SAP and EPC documentation, pressure testing is the operationally reliable choice. At A1 Air Testing, we test, advise, and help resolve failures—so projects keep moving with confidence.

Service penetrations are one of the sneakiest routes for air leakage and compliance risk in new-builds, but sealing them properly doesn’t have to be guesswork. In our latest guide, we break down what “good” looks like, the common failure points we see on site, and the practical steps that help you protect performance, pass tests, and avoid costly remedials later. It’s the kind of hands-on detail that keeps projects moving towards completion.

Air tests don’t fail “for no reason”—they fail because the building fabric leaks. If you’re facing an air leakage outcome, the fastest route to progress is tackling the likely weak points first: sealing details, penetrations, junctions, and any install gaps before testing day. Our latest guide walks through practical, pre-test checks that help you reduce remedial surprises and keep your Building Regulations process moving. From housebuilders to self-builders, it’s the operational approach we use to help projects pass with confidence.
