We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.

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.
Points to plan for in Oakham
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Oakham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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 Oakham 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.
