Car park ventilation in Cornwall

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.

Every job in Cornwall gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Falmouth, St Austell, Truro, Camborne and Newquay and the villages around them.

What car park ventilation involves

CO detection lets the system run at low speed most of the time and boost when pollution rises. Smoke control aspects are designed with the building's fire strategy and fire engineer. We install, commission and maintain the systems and the detection that runs them.

CO and NO2 detection

Sensors and controls for demand-led running.

Maintenance

Planned testing of fans, sensors and controls.

Jet fan systems

Ceiling-mounted fans moving air towards extract points.
