Laboratory Renovation

Fume hoods and extraction

Fume cupboards protect people from vapours, dust and aerosols. We source, site and install them with the extraction and service drops, coordinated with the building services contractor.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply the extraction fan and ducting?

Ducting and fans are normally part of the building services scope. We coordinate the interface and install the hood, service drops and surrounding finishes.
