Bacteria control with ducted systems requires specialist expertise. Our skilled technicians understand how to combat bacteria, which often grows in your moist ducted system over winter, and is then discharged throughout your house when you turn it on again in summer.

To combat this, we use top quality air purifiers, clean the coils and introduce a fresh lemon scent.

This prevents it from spreading throughout your air conditioning system and compromising it.

Fume extraction. If you have a home studio, we can quickly and easily install fume extraction systems to improve health and safety.

Underfloor ventilation. This is particularly effective for removing dampness and unpleasant odours by extracting moist air and circulating fresh air to keep your underfloor area dry. An effective way to do this is by installing an underfloor ventilation system, which can be manually controlled, or run off a timer.

Bathroom ventilation. Instead of using the usual ceiling extraction fan that just relocates the moist hot air from your bathroom into your roof cavity, we install ducted outlets. These extract all the moisture and bad odours and duct them outside your home via a grill under your roof eve. This stops odours getting trapped in your roof cavity, then permeating back down into your living areas. Having trapped air in your roof space can also decrease the efficiency of your air conditioning system.
