How a job in Musselburgh 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.

Ductwork and fans are installed and connected to controls. We keep work areas in Musselburgh screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
Local points to consider
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
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.
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.
