How a job in Melksham 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. In Melksham we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Melksham
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Leased premises
If your Melksham 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.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Melksham 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.
