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.
Working in Hythe
In a town like Hythe, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Southampton is about 5 km away.
We work across Hythe's postcode districts, including CT21 and SO45. We also cover Southampton, Totton and Eastleigh, all within easy reach of Hythe. Buildings across Hampshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Fresh-air rate calculation for each space
- Filters, attenuators and fire dampers where required
- Controls such as timers or CO2 sensors
- Air-flow measurement and balancing
- Commissioning records

How a job in Hythe works
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. In Hythe we agree timings around your opening hours.
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.
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.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Leased premises
If your Hythe premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
