Condensation and mould causing problems in a property? Ventilation is worth looking at.

With damp and mould firmly in the spotlight for landlords and housing providers, getting the right ventilation in place can make a real difference.

The Manrose Lo-Watt Pivotal Positive Input Ventilation unit is designed to help prevent and treat condensation and mould by introducing fresh, filtered, lower-moisture air into the home.

It’s also designed with installers in mind:
☑️ easy to install and commission
☑️ low running costs
☑️ low sound level
☑️ adjustable airflow
☑️ supplied with diffuser, flexible duct and filters

The unit is loft-mounted and gently feeds filtered air into the property through a ceiling diffuser, making it particularly useful for refurbishment work.

If you’ve got a property where condensation or mould is becoming an issue, speak to the TEP team about the options.

You might recognise plenty of faces from the TEP counter, but you may not know Sarah quite as well.

Sarah joined TEP eight years ago as Finance Manager and has since progressed through Operations to become our General Manager.

That journey means she understands the business from several different angles, from finance and process through to people, customers and the day-to-day running of TEP.

Over the past few years, Sarah has also played a big part in leading the team through two successive national award wins in 2024 and 2025, something we’re incredibly proud of.

She is also passionate about sustainability and the role businesses like ours can play in the move towards reducing costs and carbon emissions, whether that’s joining industry conversations, taking part in panel events or sharing TEP’s experience through initiatives such as the DEEP podcast.

Sarah also brings coaching qualifications to her leadership style, helping her support the team while keeping customer service and continuous improvement firmly at the heart of the business.

When she's not at TEP, you'll likely find her hanging out with her dog, feeding her chickens or exploring remote areas of Northumbria and Scotland.

So, if Sarah is one of the less familiar TEP faces to you, now you know a little more about the person helping keep everything moving behind the scenes.

Have you come across these yet?

We’re now stocking the Live Electrical UK LFE10G Heat Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Device at TEP.

It’s a compact, heat-activated device designed to provide additional fire protection within electrical enclosures, automatically activating when the surrounding temperature reaches its trigger point.

A useful option to know about for jobs where additional protection within an enclosure is being considered.

Thanks to EFIXX for letting us share this demo — it’s a great way to see how the product works in practice.

If you want to take a closer look at the product itself or check whether it’s suitable for a job you’ve got coming up, call into the counter and speak to the team.
