From enquiry to handover in Aldridge
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted. We keep work areas in Aldridge screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Aldridge
Void depth
Low-profile ducted units can fit voids of around 250 mm, but ductwork adds depth. We measure the route as well as the unit position.
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.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Leased premises
If your Aldridge 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.
