Commercial ventilation, Scottish Islands
Ductwork installation in the Scottish Islands
Spiral and rectangular galvanised ductwork, hung, insulated and sealed, across the Scottish Islands.
- From £45 + VAT per metre
- By arrangement
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.
We carry out ductwork installation across the Scottish Islands, including Stornoway. Prices use Scotland rates. Visits here are by arrangement: we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit.

What ductwork installation involves
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.
Rectangular ductwork
For larger volumes or limited ceiling depth.
Insulation and fire dampers
Thermal insulation and dampers where ducts pass through compartments, as designed.
Access panels
Fitted for future cleaning and inspection.
