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.
Prestwich and surrounding areas
Prestwich has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Salford is about 5 km away.
That includes premises in M25 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Whitefield (about 2 km), Radcliffe (about 4 km) and Salford (about 5 km). 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

Things to check in Prestwich
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Leased premises
If your Prestwich 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.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Prestwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
