Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Ashford, Kent are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
