Commercial ventilation, Northamptonshire
Car park ventilation in Northamptonshire
Jet fan and extract systems with CO detection for enclosed car parks, across Northamptonshire.
- From £24,450 + VAT per scheme
- Free survey
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.
Northamptonshire 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.

How we do it
Approved Document B sets out ventilation provisions for enclosed car parks, commonly 6 air changes an hour for normal use and 10 in fire conditions where mechanical ventilation is used. 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.
CO and NO2 detection
Sensors and controls for demand-led running.
Maintenance
Planned testing of fans, sensors and controls.
