All ventilation systems need to be regularly inspected and cleaned to ensure good air quality and to prevent the spread of fire. Poor air quality can be detrimental to staff and building occupant wellbeing, so a robust hygiene and maintenance programme of a building’s ventilation systems is essential.

We can offer your estates and facilities management team the following services:
- Ventilation system hygiene surveys and risk assessments
- Fire damper inspection and testing
- Fire damper replacement and remedial works
- AHU maintenance
- Ventilation 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 and building occupant well-being from exposure to dust, fumes, or noise by undertaking an Occupational Hygiene Assessment.
