The steps for a project in Staines
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 Staines we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Staines
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.
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
