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.

How it works in Hove
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 Hove screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
What to think about in Hove
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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.
Typical premises in Hove
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
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).
