From enquiry to handover in Chingford
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. In Chingford we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Chingford
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chingford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Working hours
Most Chingford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
