Commercial ventilation, Argyll and Bute
Ductwork installation in Argyll and Bute
Spiral and rectangular galvanised ductwork, hung, insulated and sealed, across Argyll and Bute.
- From £45 + VAT per metre
- Free survey
Ductwork carries air between the fan or unit and the rooms it serves, and how it is sized, hung and sealed decides how well the whole system performs. We supply and install spiral and rectangular galvanised ductwork, fittings, dampers, insulation and access panels.
Argyll and Bute 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.
Jobs on the islands and remote peninsulas are by arrangement, with travel quoted in writing before you commit.

How we do it
Undersized or leaky ductwork forces fans to work harder and makes systems noisy. We work to recognised sheet-metal ductwork specifications, seal joints, fit access panels for cleaning and insulate ducts that run through cold spaces or carry cold air. We install for our own ventilation systems and for other contractors, from short runs in a shop to full warehouse and office distribution.
Insulation and fire dampers
Thermal insulation and dampers where ducts pass through compartments, as designed.
Access panels
Fitted for future cleaning and inspection.
Spiral ductwork
Round galvanised ductwork for supply and extract runs.
