Specialist Ductwork Performance & Compliance Services

We deliver practical, technically focused ductwork services designed to support compliance, system efficiency and reliable project handover. Whether you need leakage testing, airflow balancing, internal cleaning or leakage rectification support, we provide clear reporting and a professional service from survey to completion.

We work in accordance with relevant industry guidance, including:

  • HTM 03-01

  • BESA DW/144

  • BESA DW/143

  • TR19

  • Relevant British Standards and project specifications

All works are supported by calibrated equipment and digital reporting where required.

Duct pressure testing

We carry out duct pressure testing to verify ductwork leakage performance in accordance with project requirements and applicable standards (DW/144, DW/143). Our service supports contractors and consultants in demonstrating compliance, identifying problem areas early and achieving smoother project sign-off.

Typical applications include:

  • Hospital and healthcare ventilation systems

  • Commercial new-build projects

  • Refurbishment works

  • High-specification duct installations

  • Pre-handover compliance checks

Commissioning / Air Testing & Balancing

We test and balance ventilation systems to help confirm that design airflows are achieved throughout the installation. Our commissioning support helps improve system performance, occupant comfort and energy efficiency while highlighting issues such as damper settings, poor distribution or system resistance problems.

Our balancing services can support:

  • Supply, return and extract systems

  • Tenant fit-out and shell & core projects

  • Troubleshooting underperforming systems

  • Handover verification and final reporting

Duct cleaning

Our duct cleaning service helps remove internal dust, debris and contamination from ventilation systems, supporting improved hygiene and better indoor air quality. This service is particularly valuable in commercial buildings, healthcare settings and systems where cleanliness is important for safe operation and long-term performance.

We can support:

  • Post-construction cleaning

  • Hygiene-focused maintenance works

  • Pre-occupation cleaning

  • Ventilation cleanliness improvement

Leakage Rectification

Where systems fail pressure testing or show excessive leakage, we help identify likely leakage points and support rectification works to improve performance. This can reduce costly retesting delays and help bring installations closer to the required standard before final handover.

This service is ideal for:

  • Failed or borderline pressure test results

  • Large duct networks with multiple leakage points

  • Projects approaching programme deadlines

  • Systems requiring targeted remedial support
