Covering Andover and nearby
In Andover, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units. Basingstoke is about 29 km away.
That includes premises in SP10 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Winchester, Newbury and Salisbury, all within easy reach of Andover. Buildings across Hampshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

How we work in Andover
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Andover we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Andover
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
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.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Andover are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
