Where we work around Smethwick
In Smethwick, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units. West Bromwich is about 3 km away.
That includes premises in B66 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include West Bromwich, Birmingham and Halesowen. Buildings across the West Midlands range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Supply and return ductwork, plenums and grilles
- Access panel for servicing
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

How we work in Smethwick
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 Smethwick screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Smethwick
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 Smethwick 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.
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.
