Air, Water and Passive Fire Protection services operating throughout Kent, London and Across the UK

It’s easy to dismiss ventilation, ductwork systems and the quality of the indoor air within enclosed workspaces. Often tucked away above ceilings, behind walls or obscured by other building services, the hygienic condition of ventilation systems, air handling equipment and the impact on air quality is rarely considered as often as it should be. Poorly maintained ventilation systems and the lack of ductwork cleaning can significantly impact on the quality of indoor air and the wellbeing and productivity of your staff.

The standards relating to the quality of indoor air and the cleanliness of ventilation systems are based upon a proactive preventative approach. Often, systems are cleaned and indoor air is tested as a reaction to a complaint from a building occupant, or visit from the Health & Safety Executive.

All industry regulations and standards fall under the umbrella of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 where the emphasis is on safeguarding your employees and occupants health through hygiene solutions like ductwork cleaning services. Failure to do so could result in legal action against you. Under the Health & Safety at Work Act, should a building occupant fall ill as a result of airborne bacteria they could sue their employer for failing to safeguard their health. Make sure to book your air duct cleaning before it is too late.

The UK has an outstanding record of providing public water supplies that are safe for consumption. However, it is the responsibility of all building owners, facilities managers and landlords to exercise constant vigilance in maintaining high levels of hygiene when water enters a building’s hot and cold water systems. Robust hygiene practices lie at the heart of maintaining these water systems. Bacterium such as E.coli, Pseudomonas and Legionella can easily colonise water systems, particularly when presented with the right conditions for proliferation.

These risks are increased when water is introduced, stored and distributed around our buildings through hot and cold water systems. The first port of call is to ensure the risks associated with Legionella are assessed. Our Legionella Risk Assessments are carried out in accordance with HSE ACOP L8 – Legionnaire’s Disease, The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems. In addition, regular testing and analysis of your water supply and monitoring of your water systems is required to ensure adequate control measures are in place. Our planned sampling and monitoring program uses UKAS accredited laboratories. We ensure impartiality at all times and accuracy of results.

Our expertise are not solely limited to ventilation and water systems. We also provide a number of passive fire prevention services to keep your building safe, your occupants safe and your organisation compliant with many other legislative requirements. Services include:
