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.
Greater Manchester and surrounding areas
We cover all of Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Bolton and Stockport. Each town below has its own page with local guide prices.
Postcode districts we cover include BL0, M2, M16, M29, M50, OL9, SK7 and WN7. Buildings across Greater Manchester range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Fresh-air rate calculation for each space
- Supply and extract fans, ductwork and grilles
- Filters, attenuators and fire dampers where required
- Controls such as timers or CO2 sensors
- Commissioning records

How we work in Greater Manchester
Assess
We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed.
Design
Fan, duct and grille sizes are designed for air flow, noise and energy use.
Install
Ductwork and fans are installed and connected to controls. We keep work areas in Greater Manchester screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
Local points to consider
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.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Greater Manchester are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
