Ductwork installation in Merseyside

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.

Every job in Merseyside gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport, Wallasey and Bootle and the villages around them.

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.

Questions about ductwork installation in Merseyside

Are prices different in Merseyside?

Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Merseyside we use North West rates, so spiral ductwork supplied and installed (up to 315 mm diameter) is typically £45 to £90 + VAT per metre.

Do ducts need insulation?

Ducts carrying cold or warm air through unheated spaces usually need insulation to prevent heat loss and condensation.

Do you fit fire dampers?

We fit fire dampers where the design requires them; their selection and testing follow the fire strategy for the building.

Is the survey free in Merseyside?

For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.

Which rules apply to ventilation in Merseyside?

In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
