Book airtightness testing quickly and easily, or organize your pre-test to find out where you are now.
Engage with our Champions to find out about how they can make a difference with your project.
If you have concerns or are unsure about the detailing our consultants can guide you through the details.
Strairt offers airtightness services from RIBA stages 4 to 6, providing key services in each critical stage.
In stages 3 and 4, we provide expertise to reinforce the principles of the airtightness line. We work with stakeholders to study details and deliver a robust, value-engineered drawings package to offer the best opportunity for the construction delivery team.
In stage 5, we provide the Airtightness Champion, who offers training to management, staff, and clients, the ATC makes regular visits to the site to operate the Airtightness Risk Register. The Airtightness Champion ensures a smooth transition from architectural detailing to the actual execution of details.
The Airtightness Risk Register is operated by the Airtightness Champion and is a unique method for formatting and tracking airtightness risks during construction. It categorizes potential leakage risk from high to low, identifying new issues and closing off details once sealed.
In stage 6, we provide testing and pre-testing, along with guidance if the target is missed the first time. However, with a strategic approach to airtightness, missing the target is unlikely.
There sometimes seems to be a gap between the architect’s understanding and the detailing when it is executed onsite. Because Strairt is involved from stage 3 or 4, we understand the detailing and make sure it is executed correctly with the correct materials.
As an independent airtightness champion, we are the right choice. With our experience and understanding, we can cut through the noise and provide advice so you can make the necessary decisions to achieve your airtightness goals.
Before your final test, we recommend that you have a pre-test. It could save you a lot of time and money. We will conduct the test as soon as the airtightness line is complete. If you haven’t achieved your target, we will offer a program of improvements to help you get back on track.

Stick to well-tested, certified airtight products, such as membranes, tapes, and sealants, to reduce the risk of mistakes and reassure the team that the target is achievable with the chosen materials.
Establish clear communication among the design team, contractors, and site workers. Emphasize airtightness and quality control. Conduct regular inspections and testing to catch issues early and avoid last-minute fixes.
Stress often arises from unexpected issues during the build. Detailed planning is essential to prevent this. Invest time in proper design, focusing on airtight detailing at junctions, around windows and doors, and any penetrations in the building envelope
Reduce your stress! Attempting to achieve a very low airtightness target can result in sleepless nights and high-stress levels! If this is you.
