Ventilation Requirements

Ventilation systems provide buildings with a constant supply of clean and fresh air. Designed to go un-noticed, they work behind the scenes to ensure a stabilised room temperature is met at all times, as well as providing the building with sufficient air quality.

A neglected or broken ventilation system can have a serious impact on a buildings air quality. Implications include dampened air which can lead to mould and décor deteriorating as a result. In addition to this, unfiltered air can cause contamination of the atmosphere within a building which puts residents in danger of various health implications. Perhaps the most frightening result of a neglected or broken ventilation system is the fact that the risk of fire increases as a result of flammable particles finding their way inside the system.

With energy costs on the increase, a poor performing system will financially cost a company more than if they were to spend smaller costs maintaining their ventilation systems. Regular inspections are necessary to identify the condition of the systems and detect any repair or cleaning jobs that may be required. Maintaining your ventilation systems is financially advised since the cost of repairing the possible damage caused by a broken system will be significantly higher.

The majority of ventilation systems are located above ceilings in roof voids. Discovering the condition of such systems on your own is close to impossible, which is why building owners seek out a professional surveyor to complete the inspection on their behalf. Any signs of discolouration or debris around the grille or louvre is a definite sign of contamination within the ductwork systems.
