The steps for a project in Daventry
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 Daventry 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
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Working hours
Most Daventry businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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 Daventry are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
