Car park ventilation in Greater London

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.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout Greater London, from Archway, Sutton, Croydon, Brent and Islington. We survey first, free of charge for new installations on the mainland, then send a fixed written quote.

How we do it

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.

Jet fan systems

Ceiling-mounted fans moving air towards extract points.

Ducted extract

Traditional ducted systems where layout suits.

CO and NO2 detection

Sensors and controls for demand-led running.
