Where we work around Northwich
Northwich has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Warrington is about 15 km away.
That includes premises in CW9 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Winsford, Warrington and Runcorn, all within easy reach of Northwich. Buildings across Cheshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Access panel for servicing
- Pipework, condensate and controls
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

How we work in Northwich
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 Northwich we agree timings around your opening hours.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Northwich 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.
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 Northwich businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Can ducted units bring in fresh air?
