How it works in St Austell
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 St Austell 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 St Austell
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in St Austell 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.
