Things to check in Falkirk
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in Scotland must meet Section 3 of the Scottish building standards. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
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.
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Working hours
Most Falkirk businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
