How a job in Slough 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 Slough 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.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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 Slough businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
