Car park ventilation in Berkshire

Enclosed and underground car parks need mechanical ventilation to clear vehicle exhaust in normal use and, in many designs, to help clear smoke in a fire. We install and maintain jet fan and ducted extract systems with carbon monoxide detection and controls.

Berkshire has every kind of building, from old terraces to new estates and business parks, and every job is designed around the building in front of us, not a standard kit.

Ducted extract

Traditional ducted systems where layout suits.

CO and NO2 detection

Sensors and controls for demand-led running.

Maintenance

Planned testing of fans, sensors and controls.
