Ventilation System Design & Installation
Proper ventilation is essential for controlling airflow, reducing contaminants, and maintaining comfort in any building. We design and install commercial ventilation systems tailored to your facility, from mechanical ventilation systems built for controlled airflow to extraction systems that remove contaminants and pollutants. Whatever your building’s size or sector, our team designs a solution that meets your air quality needs while keeping energy use down.
Our team evaluates your building's size, layout, and air quality requirements to design a commercial ventilation system that optimises airflow while reducing energy consumption. Whether you need a mechanical ventilation system or a natural ventilation solution, we tailor the design to suit your building and how it's used.
We install a wide range of ventilation systems, including mechanical, natural, and extraction systems, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards. Our commercial ventilation services cover everything from initial installation through to ongoing support, so you have one team to call on throughout.
Our systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind, using technologies like variable speed drives and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems to minimise operating costs while maximising performance. Energy efficiency is built into every system we design and install, not added as an afterthought.
Mechanical ventilation systems give you full control over airflow, ideal for commercial and industrial buildings where natural ventilation isn't enough. We design and install systems including supply and extract setups, energy recovery ventilation (ERV) to cut heating and cooling costs, and make-up air units to keep airflow balanced, all built to meet current health, safety and environmental regulations.
Extraction and exhaust systems remove contaminants, moisture and stale air from commercial kitchens, industrial spaces and washrooms, helping you meet health and safety obligations. We design and install extraction systems suited to your premises, from single-unit kitchen extraction to larger ducted systems across a whole site.
FAQs
Ventilation installation costs for commercial buildings depend on the type of system, the size of the premises, and how much ductwork is needed. A straightforward extraction system installation, such as kitchen or washroom extraction, is generally more affordable than a full mechanical ventilation system covering an entire building. New-build or fit-out projects are often more cost-effective, since ductwork can be designed in from the start rather than retrofitted. The most accurate way to price commercial ventilation installation is with a site survey, as costs depend on the building's layout, access routes, and any electrical or structural work needed.
A whole-building mechanical ventilation system is often worth it for commercial premises where air quality, moisture control, or regulatory compliance are ongoing concerns. Systems such as ERV can help manage humidity, remove stale air, and recover heat from extracted air, supporting both comfort and energy efficiency in well-sealed buildings. In older or less airtight premises, the benefit can be lower unless wider improvements to the building's fabric are also carried out. Whether it's worthwhile usually depends on the building's condition, its intended use, and whether ductwork can be installed without major disruption to day-to-day operations.
Yes, ventilation is a legal requirement for commercial buildings in the UK, covered by the Building Regulations. In England, Part F sets out the requirement for adequate means of ventilation, and the exact requirement depends on the type of building and the work being carried out. The principle is the same across commercial premises: buildings must have suitable ventilation to protect the health of occupants and the fabric of the building. Extensions, refurbishments, and changes of use can all affect ventilation compliance, so the legal position should always be checked as part of ventilation system installation and design
