Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Eltham we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design the air side

Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Eltham
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 Eltham 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.
Leased premises
If your Eltham 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.
