How a job in Haywards Heath 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.

Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Things to check in Haywards Heath
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Leased premises
If your Haywards Heath 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.
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Haywards Heath 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.
