Ductwork Installation Contractor
Commercial packages.
Installed to project scope.
We install HVAC ductwork for student accommodation, hotels, retail units, offices, commercial fit-out and industrial projects across the UK. Full subcontracting packages for M&E contractors and main contractors.
Installation is delivered to the agreed drawings, specification and defined project scope. Testing, reporting and handover requirements are agreed for each package.
Ductwork Types We Install
Project-specified installationRectangular Ductwork
Low-velocity supply and extract systems for offices, retail, hotels, education and healthcare. Galvanised mild steel, fabricated and installed to DW/144 class B or C as specified. The most common ductwork type in commercial buildings.
Where: offices · retail · hotels · education · healthcare
Circular & Spiral Ductwork
Circular and spiral-wound ductwork for high-velocity distribution systems, plant rooms, risers and industrial applications. Lower pressure drop and reduced air turbulence compared to rectangular. Suitable for exposed architectural finishes.
Where: plant rooms · industrial · PBSA · exposed ceiling
Flat Oval Ductwork
Flat oval combines the airflow efficiency of circular ductwork with a lower profile for space-constrained installations — narrow ceiling voids, corridor runs and above-ceiling fit-out. Ideal where coordination with structure and other services is critical.
Where: retail fit-out · offices · corridors · ceiling voids
Fire-Rated Ductwork
Fire-rated ductwork may form part of a defined installation package where the product, tested system, drawings, specification and responsibilities are clearly identified before work starts.
Where: kitchen extract · smoke systems · compartment walls · stairwells
Stainless Steel Ductwork
Grade 304 or 316 stainless steel ductwork for commercial kitchen extract, catering, food production, cleanroom and marine applications. Resistant to grease, moisture and corrosion. Welded or flanged to TR19 grease hygiene standard where applicable.
Where: commercial kitchens · food production · cleanrooms · marine
Pre-Insulated Ductwork
Phenolic foam or mineral wool pre-insulated ductwork panels for supply air systems requiring high thermal performance and low condensation risk. Factory-insulated panels with aluminium facing. Reduces site labour and improves consistency compared to post-installation insulation.
Where: cold rooms · data centres · AHU supply systems · cleanrooms
Flexible Ductwork
Insulated and non-insulated flexible ductwork for final connections from rigid distribution to grilles, diffusers and terminal units. Low-vibration links to fan coil units and AHUs. Installed to maximum 1.5m runs per DW/144 guidance.
Where: FCU connections · diffuser drops · VAV terminals · MVHR valves
What's Included
Full Ductwork Subcontracting Package
The exact package is agreed from the drawings, specification, programme and scope of works.
Drawing Review & Coordination
We review issued drawings and specifications, identify coordination clashes with structural and other M&E services, and raise RFIs before site start — not during installation.
RAMS Documentation
Method statements and risk assessments specific to the project — issued before site start. Updated if scope, access or working conditions change. Signed copies to client for site record.
Ductwork & Supports Installation
Installation of the ductwork runs, hangers, brackets, sleeves and supports identified within the agreed project scope.
Fire Dampers & Access Panels
Interfaces involving specified fire or smoke products are reviewed against the product system, drawings and agreed responsibilities before inclusion in scope.
Grilles, Diffusers & Terminal Devices
Supply and installation of all air terminal devices — linear diffusers, circular ceiling diffusers, transfer grilles, adjustable-blade grilles and acoustic attenuators as specified.
Air Leakage Testing
Air leakage testing and associated records may be included where specified and agreed within the package.
Progress Photo Reports
Photographic progress reporting can be agreed at key installation stages where required by the project team.
O&M Documentation & Handover
Operation and maintenance information, as-built records and supporting handover documents can be agreed within the project scope.
