Frequently Asked Questions
Can you arrange an Air Tightness Test for me?
Elmhurst Airtightness Scheme is a Competent Persons Scheme for Air Tightness Testers, we do not carry out the tests ourselves. We offer members of the public a ‘Search for Tester’ facility which is available on the homepage of our website. Using the full or partial postcode of the property to be tested will return the contact details of Elmhurst testers operating within or closest to your area.
How can I check whether a tester or certificate is valid?
Under the Information section on the website there is a ‘Verify Tester’ and ‘Validate Certificate’ search facility. Entering some key data will return results if the tester is approved by Elmhurst , or if the certificate has been lodged through the lodgement portal.
Can I join from another scheme?
