How it works in Stranraer
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 Stranraer we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Stranraer
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
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.
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.
