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.
Covering Watford and nearby
Watford supports a mix of high-street retail, professional offices, hospitality and light industry. Slough is about 21 km away.
We cover every Watford postcode, including NN6, WD1, WD17, WD18, WD19 and WD24. We also work in nearby Bushey, Rickmansworth and Pinner. Buildings across Hertfordshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Local points to consider
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Watford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. 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.
