High Security Facilities

Airmec provides air (duct cleaning), water hygiene and fire damper services within high security facilities as a trusted partner for operators and TFMs.

We ensure that ventilation and water systems stay safe and compliant with health and safety regulations and current guidance.

We have many years of experience providing these essential services within secure sites from prison estates to military bases and sensitive UK Government facilities.

All Airmec site staff undergo Enhanced DBS checks, and
we have a tried and tested process for obtaining security clearances from BPSS and MOJ Enhanced to CTC and SC level.

We can always field the right team for the job, so there will be no delays with site access.

Airmec staff are security vetted for high-security sites

The quality of air delivered to your buildings is critical to the health and well-being of staff, building occupants and visitors. We can send a team of technicians with the highest security clearances for:
- Ventilation system hygiene surveys and risk assessments
- Fire damper inspection and testing
- Fire damper replacement and remedial works
- AHU maintenance
- Duct cleaning
- Kitchen extract monitoring and cleaning
- Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) examination and testing
Where indoor air needs to be assessed for comfort or health and safety reasons one of our surveyors can conduct an Indoor Air Quality survey. We can also outline how to protect staff well-being from exposure to dust, fumes, or noise by undertaking an Occupational Hygiene Assessment.

Our dedicated remedial team can also make recommendations on ways to modify ductwork and on the installation of access doors so that any fire dampers that have not previously been tested can be reached and future inspections can be conducted more efficiently and cost-effectively.
