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.
Where we work around Kelso
In a town like Kelso, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer.
We work across Kelso's postcode districts, including TD5. Buildings across the Scottish Borders 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 the job covers

Before you book in Kelso
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kelso often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Leased premises
If your Kelso 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.
Types of premises we cover in Kelso
- 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.

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
