How we work in Whitstable
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Whitstable we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Local points to consider
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Working hours
Most Whitstable businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Leased premises
If your Whitstable premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.

Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
How much ceiling void is needed?
Low-profile units can work in around 250–300 mm, but the duct route often needs more. We measure at survey.
