Commercial Ductwork Contractors Richmond upon Thames
Ductwork, ventilation and kitchen extract installation across Richmond, East Sheen, Kew, Barnes and Teddington.
Richmond is a conservation-heavy borough with a dense hospitality economy and a large stock of older commercial buildings. Ductwork here is rarely a straightforward run: routes are constrained by existing structure, and external plant and discharge positions are frequently controlled by planning and landlord conditions.
We carry out commercial ductwork, ventilation and kitchen extract installations across the borough, including works in listed and conservation-area premises where the visual and acoustic impact of the installation matters as much as its performance.
Conservation areas and listed premises
Much of Richmond town centre, Richmond Hill, Kew and Barnes sits within conservation areas, with a significant number of listed buildings in commercial use. External ductwork, roof-mounted fans and discharge terminations usually need to be positioned, screened and attenuated to satisfy planning conditions — best resolved before installation rather than after a complaint.
Restaurant and hospitality extract
Richmond's riverside, George Street and Hill Rise carry a high density of restaurants and pubs, often in older buildings with limited riser space. Kitchen extract schemes typically involve careful route selection, grease-rated ductwork, odour control where required by planning, and access provision that allows the whole system to be cleaned.
Offices and refurbishment
The commercial stock around Richmond station, Kew Road and Teddington includes offices and studio buildings moving through refurbishment. Work is generally Cat A alteration, AHU replacement connections and tenant fit-out distribution in part-occupied buildings.
Twickenham, Teddington and East Sheen
Coverage extends across the borough to Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, East Sheen and Kew — including school, healthcare and leisure premises where works are phased around occupation.
