Installation and commissioning

Our own installation team fits what we design and fabricate, coordinated with your programme and the other trades on site. Then we test, balance and hand over a system that does what the drawings say.

On site

Fitted by the people who designed it

Because the same company designs, makes and installs the system, there is no gap between the drawing and what goes up. Problems found on site are solved by the people who drew it.

  • Our own installation team, with partner support at busy times
  • Programme coordination with main contractors and other trades
  • Site reports including pre-install surveys and completion reports
  • Commissioning: airflow testing and balancing, controls and interlock checks
  • Handover with O&M documentation and maintenance charts
  • Parts and labour warranty
  • Planned upgrades and refurbishment on new and existing systems: fan replacements and upgrades, air handling unit refurbishment, filter changes and adding cleaning access panels

Questions

Installation FAQs

Do you work as a subcontractor?

Yes. Most of our work is as the ventilation package for catering equipment companies and mechanical contractors, coordinated with their programme and site team.

What happens at commissioning?

We test and balance the airflows against the design, check the controls, interlocks and odour control, and record the results.

Do you work on existing systems after installation?

Yes, as planned work on any kitchen ventilation system, not just ones we installed: fan replacements and upgrades, air handling unit refurbishment, filter changes and retrofitting access panels for duct cleaning. We do not offer a reactive breakdown call-out service, and we do not clean ductwork; that is done by specialist TR19 Grease cleaning contractors.

What do we get at handover?

O&M documentation including maintenance charts, commissioning records and warranty details, so your maintenance provider knows what the system needs.
