Commercial ventilation brings outdoor air into a building and removes stale air, using fans and ductwork to supply and extract air at the rates needed for the number of people and the activity.
Covering Birmingham and nearby
Birmingham is one of the main commercial centres in the West Midlands, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
We work across Birmingham's postcode districts, including B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B7. We also cover Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley, all within easy reach of Birmingham. Buildings across the West Midlands range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

How a job in Birmingham works

Install
Ductwork and fans are installed and connected to controls.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
Things to check in Birmingham
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Working hours
Most Birmingham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Birmingham
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
