5/5 · Google reviews

When is an external duct needed?

  • Premises with no flue to the roof
  • Boiler or stove without a chimney
  • Old duct that is loose or rusted
  • Extraction that does not draw well

What the duct installation includes

  • Route survey

    We define the route, diameter and outlet to suit the appliance and the RITE.

  • Twin-wall ducting

    Stainless or galvanised steel, insulated where the use requires it.

  • Brackets and clamps

    Anchored to the façade at regular intervals so the duct does not vibrate or move.

  • Penetrations and joints

    Wall or slab penetrations and sealed joints to prevent leaks and drips.

  • Roof outlet

    Finished with a cowl above the roof line, away from windows.

  • Discreet finish

    Powder-coated or painted duct in the façade colour, if you wish.

Extract flues in Ciutat Vella: what we check in the building

On narrow streets in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, scaffolding would take over the pavement and get in the way of residents and traffic. So we install the duct in sections hung from the roof, with the work area marked off below and hours agreed with the building.

So the duct does not stand out, in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we can have it powder-coated or painted to match the façade. At the end we check draught and airtightness with the appliance running and clear all debris from the pavement and roof.

We visit the building, check the façade and roof and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the work with the business and the residents. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Can a duct from a ground-floor unit be taken up to the roof without scaffolding?

Yes. We install the duct in sections, working on ropes from the roof, without taking up the pavement with structures or closing the street.

03

Does the duct have to come out above the roof?

For smoke and boiler flues, usually yes, at the height and distance from windows set by regulations. During the visit we check what your case requires.

04

What do you do with the old duct?

We dismantle it in sections from the ropes, lower it carefully and take it away, then make good the old fixing points on the façade.
