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 the Lothians
Assess
We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed. For sites in the Lothians we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
Before you book in the Lothians
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Lothians 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.
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.
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.
Typical premises in the Lothians
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- 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.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
