How a job in Crowthorne works
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 Crowthorne screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Local points to consider
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
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 Crowthorne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
