How a job in Putney 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. We keep work areas in Putney screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Things to check in Putney
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
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 Putney are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
