Car park ventilation in West Midlands | Ventilation Contractors

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.

We carry out car park ventilation across the West Midlands, including Dudley, Walsall, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and West Bromwich. Prices use West Midlands rates. Surveys for new installations are free on the UK mainland, with a written quote afterwards.

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.
