How it works in Finchley
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 Finchley we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Finchley
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
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.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Finchley often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Who we work with in Finchley
