Based in the South East, this long-established ventilation installation contractor provides supply and installation services for a wide range of ventilation systems across the South East. Operating for several decades, the business has built a strong reputation for reliability, consistent delivery and long-standing client relationships, resulting in 100% repeat business and a stable workload year-round.
The company supports commercial and residential construction projects, offering both product supply and installation. Approximately 65% of turnover is generated through product supply, with the remaining 35% from labour. The service offering also includes specialist installation work such as fire smoke dampers and fire-rated ductwork, areas where demand remains consistent and often involves longer lead times due to the specialist nature of the work.
The business recorded turnover in excess of £1.4m in 2023 and £1.7m in 2025, with further growth forecast over the coming years. EBITDA has remained strong during the period. Currently, there are several large projects in the pipeline due to start in mid-January. A healthy cash position also contributes to the stability and resilience of the company.
The workforce consists of a dedicated team of experienced engineers, including several senior engineers with over two decades of experience. A project manager with long tenure ensures smooth oversight of installations and day-to-day operations. The business has also recently invested in training additional engineers to NVQ Level 3, creating immediate capacity for new owners to expand output.
The company currently turns down work due to workforce limitations rather than a lack of demand, indicating a strong opportunity for further growth. With additional engineers or apprentices, the business could increase its capacity significantly and take on more projects from both existing and new clients.
This opportunity would suit a trade acquirer, construction group, or investor looking to expand in the ventilation installation sector with a well-established, consistently performing operation that benefits from long-term client relationships and clear potential for future growth.
